interesting... are they hard to take care of?

A black ghost knife would be awesome but I don't think it will fit into the tank. I looked at them before though and they would be epic to have. They might eat the rasboras too though because they only get up to about an inch

I want sort of a more slender fish. Like I said the red tailed shark fit in so well but after getting the rasboras (which are abou 3/8" right now) it would not be a good idea because it will get agressive as it matures. But the black with the smallbit of red gliding around the bottom and through...

I thought about them but I don't really want to get a whole bunch of fish for their school. I would much rather have a lonesome larger (3-4 inch about) fish that will swim around. I really liked the red tailed shark but I might just end up getting a few cories

So i have 4 platys and 6 lambchop rasboras in a 20 gallon long tank that is planted with a sand substrate and plenty of driftwood and was wondering about what would be a good bottom level fish. I had a red tailed shark before but alas I did not have a good enough lid and I found him on he ground...

recently i had bought a 20 gallon tank (thanks to the $1 per gallon sale at petco) but i have not yet started doing anything. right now i have a 10g tank that was running smoothly for a while. unfortunately it started getting mirky (i think because of bacterial bloom) and then i went away for...

They are illegal that little because they spread salmonella. You used to be able to buy them the size of dime (my dad says) but it's something about carrying that disease when they are young. Catch one in the wild if u want. My friend raised one in a tupperware last year.

Have u seen the river monsters episode on them. The state of Texas went out and tried to kill them off because they were attacking people, good luck finding a place to take it because you won't be able to release it.

yeah i think im gonna wait a bit to get any new fish. also i might keep the platy, it had its bottom fin torn off partially so i cant give it away, but i might still get rid of the danios.

you have got to remember though that almost all of the fish in the lfs have been breeded and have never been in the wild, they are ment to be pets. you should try to take care of them as best you can but half of the fish are bred to look that way and do not exist in the wild.

i have a sunset platy that is currently injured. she has a spot on the top of her head right before her fin where it is white and looks like the scales are gone. on top of that her lowest fin has been partially ripped off and is hanging at an angle off of her body. sometimes also she freezes up...

Well I know it is two different plants in one pot but the tag for it had eight different scientific names so I have no clue

You don't have problems with detergent getting into the wood with the dishwasher? I would think the only thing worse than soap would be detergent. I know you aren't putting any in the washer with the wood (I hope) but people worry if rivers have any sort of run off that could bring trace amounts...

Let's not get in that discussion. Only trouble comes from talking about politics, religion, money and sexual preferences.

I wish my fish cared for each other like yours do, then maybe I would have more fish, haha.
