To be fair I think this sounds a bit like a loosing battle. People will only keep fish properly if they want to listen and if not then they just have to live in ignorance while we all cringe. Perfect example chap I sold my tank too, tried to explain fishless cycling to him totaly didnt listen and said he was going to buy some neons in the morning with his kids so I just nodded and left - that was after a 45 min lecture on the nitrogen cycle.......

Winding up mean teasing and just generally being annoying Mojo.

I hope your brother and parents see sense and decide to listen to your advice.
I've got a 57L tank and i was gonna buy 3 or 4 Sarrassa to put in there but i'm glad now that i didn't cos before coming on here i didn't know they needed such huge tanks. It'll be a real shame if he goes against the whopping great stack of advice and knowledge on here.
Anyway keep us informed!

hi, well my brother looked at the other fish and said he really likes the gold barbs, so i think that he is nearly convinced. but i'm banned from talking about it with my parents, so i'll have to make sure that my brother is on my side, then i'll get him to tell my parents that he wants tropical fish. i'll take him to my lfs to make him sure. (i'll keep him away from the goldfish)

he was actually thinking of getting sarassa's

 

[fatheadminnow]

That's cool! I hope he makes the right choice!

so do i. i'm going to set the background on the laptop as a shoal of gold barbs, so when my dad uses it he's see it.

clever

 

[Ben M]

thank you, i'm just looking for a pic now

edit: sorted!

 

[Ben M]

just been wondering, if he gets a shoal of gold barbs, which other fish could he keep with them? i'm thinking maybe some dwarf corries? not sure about what for the higher levels?
thanks

 

[iffles]

not sure, but with 6 gold barbs, i think its nearly reached the stocking limit, so just a nice group of small cories. But its still waaaayy better than 1 stunted goldfish ! dont kno why he would consider that in the first place, but its probably he hasnt seen many other brightly coloured fish!
