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

So far a betta and a snail... Updating the list in a month probably! Lol

 

[I Like Rare Fish]

Betta is also on my list

 

[Bruce Leyland-Jones]

My current 3 tanks have 18 species.
Obviously, over 40 years, I'll've kept many, many more than that.

[OliveFish05]

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
