Butterfly splitfins & bluetail splitfins

[emeraldking]

One of my open tanks with butterfly splitfins (Ameca splendens) & bluetail splitfins (Ataeniobius toweri).These aren't jumpers. So, good contenders to keep in open tanks.

Nice to see they aren't zombies like the last lot

Did they used to be called Goodeids?

Those goodeids are interesting. Some say one of em' was given to the zoo to be fed to other animals. I actually read that on an article on the butterfly splitfin and other goodeids.

Well basically, almost every type of fish could be fed to other animals. So, why not goodeids? At least, from a technical side, I mean...
But a serious number of goodeid species are endangered. So, I assume that not all goodeid keepers will be thrilled by that idea.
