It depends on how fond you are of your tetras. Our keyholes live with tetras and I think they have eaten a tetra or two but we've had stable numbers now for about 6 months.

My two keyholes are the bosses of the tank, including a uaru and a geophagus! My female has much shorter fins than the male. However apparantly females can sometimes have long trailing fins too, so my 'male' may be a female. They're not spectacular fish but very personable. Its importent...

I've become obsessed with these fish and am desperate for information on them. Has anyone on here kept them? We'd be looking at keeping a single male or a male+harem in a community tank. [2 keyholes, 1 s. jurupari, 1 uaru, 3 bristlenose, 2 pearl gourami, 4+ cories] in a 6 foot tank. ph...

Uaru's are peaceful and vegetarian but eat plants. We had a planted tank before our uaru :lol: . Keyholes are great but need cover to feel safe and by themselves they can be a little withdrawn. Both the uaru and the keyholes are in a tank with tetras and haven't eaten them so far. The uaru...

I've done some research on firemouths and seem to be getting two general versions 1 "our firemouth is placid and never even touches our tetra/guppy/dwarf something" 2 "our firemouth is a terror and killed our oscar. Cool!" I know a lot is dependent on individual fish. We're planning on...

the fish isn't bloated, I was just trying to give as much info as possible. Talked to the lfs and they said keyholes don't get anchorworm. Don't know if thats true but they described exactly what the white thready things looked like and said she's 'sliming up' and is stressed. I think...

What adorable fish!

bought a new keyhole from lfs, she is about 10-12 cm long and just didn't look right. This only became apparant after a few days - looked normal when stressed and blotchy. Today I've noticed what looks like small worms attached to her scales. Her scales look odd too, like they're sticking out...

I've found that the "distinct breeding marking" which are beautifully illustrated in snowyangels picture are shown when the fish is being aggressive/territorial. My male keyhole shows these markings at every feeding time, and did so even before we introduced a female to the tank. Maybe they're...

I agree with charlie -cories! such lovely cheerful fish. Gournamis are good too if you want something a bit bigger and elegant - but I'd stay away from the threespot! I had two [my first fish actually] and they were horrible vicious fish. Other people however have had different experiances...

hi, its the sister here, the fish is alive and completely recovered form its ordeal. its a horseface cichlid, [or eartheater] and one of our favourites so we were very relieved that it recovered. Thanks for the advice, my brother was a bit panicky, and we were too far away to ruch home [which...

No, but it did save itself :). After a couple of unsucsessful attempts to remove it last night I decided to take it to the aquarium after work today. Went I went off to work this morning it was still stuck there, but I've just gotten home and he has managed to get it out somehow. I'm more than a...

I think I might have something of a problem. I am housesitting for my sister, and one of her tropical fish (I'm not sure of the type, but it's about 5cm long) seems to have a peice of gravel caught in it's mouth. I'd post a picture but my camera is at home. There are a few unnatural (they...
