thanks, im bookmarking this page. i think ill get some.

my lfs has some and im seriously considering getting a few particularly since my friend that works there says they will even eat when ppl ask to see them do that in the store - though i havent asked to see it yet myself - and they have been there for about 2 months now and are still alive - and...

i have a banjo catfish - pic in my avatar - and i love it. i want to get some more and breed them but i need to get a bigger tank setup first. i would go with the play sand. i have a hard time finding it during the day as it is. you might want to invest in a moon light for night viewing...

another update, ill add info later

some bichirs might go well with the bgk. since it will end up in a big tank you could look into some monster fish maybe.

thank - you! iv been trying to explain this forever and ppl just seem to like the simplicity of that archaic rule. it was developed by a scientist back about a hundred year ago doing research on goldfish. seriously, goldfish are about the messiest fish out there... it doesnt apply to all...

i have a peacock eel and i can second what Mr. Fishy is saying. to add on, i feed mine chopped red wiggler earthworms.

lol ya, it tends helps a lot to research what your doing before its done. thats interesting to know about discus. iv thought about getting some from time to time but iv got too many other fish i have to take care of first. good luck

this is along the lines of what i was thinking. basically, MollyFresh, i can put it this way: i will use discus as an example, it used to be that discus were incredibly hard to keep alive much less breed. this is because they were all wild caught specimens. over the past few years ppl have been...

agreed, bigger is better in this case. also, dont just look in the major pet stores for aquariums. petsmarts near me sell 55 gallon tanks for $120. and guess what, i can go over to the lfs where an old friend of mine works at and they have 75 gallon tanks of the same or better quality for the...

i have one of these. great fish. mine is about 6" right now and i feed it on chopped red wiggler earthworms. they get cut (with scissors, dont try a knife) into about 1 cm long segments for easy swallowing since peacocks dont really seem to chew their food, they just kinda choke it down. a tip...

im researching types of fish i can put in a nano 5.5 gallon and i really like the black oscilarous. are there any other variations i can try and find other than the normal orange ones as well? also, iv read good things about the sixline wrasse, yashie haze goby, and yellow watchman, what can...

ok thanks, i definitely like the haze. if yall think of any others please feel free to mention

im wanting to start a saltwater nano here in the next few months and i was wanting to know what my options were as far as fish. i got a few answers from the lfs but they had a limited selection and im sure they left off quite a bit just cause they didnt have it in stock. i looked on the forum...
