I just love the way this Gymnogeophagus Terrapurpura has his fins. He eats a flake.

Nice species list you have!
 
OliveFish05 said:
Thanks. Despite all my research (so much research) the acara got aggressive and ate most of the tetras. And the guppies were long before that, before I knew about GH.

One of the great things about fishkeeping is learning from those mistakes, doing better, and helping others learn

Yes, sadly all the fish usually learn from our mistakes is it hurts
