    Bored and they said they wanted to show off

    Thanks. Comes up as rare when I saw it and started researching it. Also known as Harlequin Shark. Main difference is the RedTail and Rainbow Shark are Asian and this one is African. This guy is supposedly more aggressive than the RT. But enjoying his colors currently before they fade as...

    Wanted: seeding material

    Might be easier if you search for someone local to you that is a selling on craigslist. At least you can guarantee they are close by. Offer them a few bucks for some seeing material.

    GBR Behavior - pairing/aggression or just pissy

    Thanks. Couple #1 is already prepping. They've claimed the corner to the right of the driftwood in the pic and will chase everyone away. Except for Brutus (shark), he chases back. Problem is now trying to find when and if she lays eggs. Will be hard to tell them apart from the sand granules

    GBR Behavior - pairing/aggression or just pissy

    update: Ended up getting two females and keeping both males. They've paired up and split the tank into halves. At feeding, they will meet in the middle with no issue (likely because there are fish 4x their size going nuts for food). Once food is gone, everyone retreats with and to their...

    Why do my Tiger Barbs keep dying?

    My shark is about 7 inches now and I've yet to see it take a bite out of anything, even platy fry. Maybe mine is a veggie hippie. :)

    Why do my Tiger Barbs keep dying?

    I don't see anything to heap the blame on the shark based on what's been posted so far. As aggressive as the barbs are with each other, I doubt an occasional chase from the rainbow is going to kill 7 barbs in a month. Suggest keep providing info and maybe a clue will develop as to what is...

    in need of advice

    I don't keep guppies so no argument from me. 3 gal isn't ideal for either species is what it now boils down to then.

    in need of advice

    The betta is now settled in and looking to claim territory. 3 gallons is too small for it by itself. The guppies are probably only making it worse. Don't see the aggression going away on it's own. Keep the guppies and get the suggested minimum 5 gal for the Betta.

    Help me get my hubby into the hobby!

    If he's a do it yourself person, that's probably the easiest way to get him involved. We're always going to appreciate an opportunity to 'grunt' in front of our significant other. Have him build a filter, stand or some other project depending on his level of skill.

    Monster Aquarium, Flushing Queens

    I've been there. Fish were nice looking but I didn't get any fish that day. They get their shipments on the same day as Fishtown USA so got what I needed from them since I know them. If Fishtown weren't around, I'd go to Marine as my 2nd choice.

    Gourami aggression

    ok, well if you're still questioning the sex of the other gourami in the tank, comparing the fins from my snake should help. There is a noticeable difference. Aqa is very conservative and remember, it's showing you at 71% based on adult size. At minimum you need more Cory's (at least three as...

    Gourami aggression

    Thanks. Sorry, shoul've been clear, the gourami in these two pics are male. I can't see enough of the other to determine anything. Male Can't tell on this one or the other 'hiding' pic. I don't see the platy's doing much to change the aggression toward each other. The two gourami's...

    Gourami aggression

    Both of those Gourami's look male to me. Here is my snakeskin and you can see how much more 'rounded' the dorsal and anal fins are. I had a Gold male at one point but had to rehome because of how much bigger this female (7") was in comparison. If you still have room, you may want to consider...

    Walmart Fish Petition

    Pretty sure there have been many petitions started on this so you'd hardly be bringing up a new idea. Would say it's better for you to spend your energy thinking of a creative way (Ice Bucket Challenge, etc) to bring attention to an existing petition that has some signatures already so you're...

    Gourami Question

    You can mix them, there are peaceful species that exist. Question is way too generic to give you an all encompassing answer though. Start researching gourami as an entire species to find their basic requirements. Easiest way for you to help her figure out what kind she wants to start...

    GBR Behavior - pairing/aggression or just pissy

    Thanks, just looked and very good site. They aren't shipping to places with temps less than 50 degrees so would likely be a while before I could order. Plus think I'll still need to deal with local LFS to keep the relationship open so they can take the evicted male off my hands. Site has...

    GBR Behavior - pairing/aggression or just pissy

    hijack away... Ugh, need a female so I can see some different behavior... Should be a shipment arriving to the good stores in the area today... Hopefully I can find one when I get time to get out there. Now previous #1 has his color back (thankfully) and is somehow back in charge. Believe...

    GBR Behavior - pairing/aggression or just pissy

    Spent the day yesterday at my two trusted LFS looking for females. They had none. Or at least none that I was confident enough to believe they were actual females. urgh. On another note, dominance has now been transferred completely. GBR #2 told GBR #1 to meet him in the tiki hut and he...

    GBR Behavior - pairing/aggression or just pissy

    Ahhh so glad I asked because I wasn't even thinking about testing for pairing between the two. Removing one sounds like the way to go. Any way to get a heads up on who matches up better to the female? Whichever one I get will be of similar size to them both. Sent from my SM-G900V using...
