My Albino BNP is also really active, see him all the time.Thats actually really interesting, I have an albino Bristlenose and he's constantly out eating algae! Hahaha do you at least like your snails?
What sort of Gourami's were they?Buying three Gourami that were full-size (but not at the time I bought them) Three turned into six after a pair mated. That was in a 29 gallon tank. They could barely swim there was so little room (they were all 8-12" long. There was a little aggression but not much. Anyway - I put an ad in our city website (a Nextdoor.com product) for "free to a good home with a LARGE aquarium" and they were snapped up within a week. The guy said he had a 300 gallon freshwater tank but very few fish - kind of strange guy actually.
I very much enjoyed my school of dwarf chain loaches. They are dizzyingly cute. I had them for 4 years then gave them to another fishkeeper because I wanted a school of corydoras. The chain loaches were such gavones that they’d completely outcompete any cories I had for food, leaving them to starve. Now I’ve got a group of black corydoras schultzei. They too are amazing little fish!I agree on chinese algae eaters. They get horrible. Never tried yoyo loaches, but I read mixed things about them. They seem to be easiest to get along with with a lot of space and a biggish school. They sure look cool. But I'm a loach guy. Never liked the looks of cories that much.
Same here! I swapped all my fake ones out for live ones, and I now have bunches full of unused, unwanted fish decor rotting in the garageNot fish, but I regret buying plastic plants and toy.
If I have a Tardis or a time machine I would told 11 years old me to stop buying those stuff and save it for live plant, though I’m sure that my past self would never listen
I was the worst impulse buyer ever when I started. I didn't know any better but I would just go into the store and buy whatever fish looked cool. Similar to you, I bought an extra serpae tetra because I thought the original needed a friend. The friend ended up being kept from food and the two would constantly fight. I think one of the worst mistakes any new fishkeepers can make is buying fish on a whim.SO yeah I regret for not doing research back then prior buying them.
Well back then my parents spent alot of money for me and now I kinda feel bad about using their money as a kid and early teen buying unwanted stuff, I should’ve bought live plants and sells (like what I do with my elodea now) back then so parents would just stop supporting me with their money, that’s what I always feel bad aboutSame here!
