no no, not at all!
i was curious as to why my two angels have been fighting, and you answered, thats not time wasted, thats time gained for me, instead of looking for the answer elsewhere!

BTW, 2 seems like the most reasonable answer for my situation
Thanks

as quoted from the Cat-E-Log for this fish: An unfussy omnivore. Most prepared foods are taken and the fish will happily gorge itself on live or frozen foods. Bloodworm induces a feeding frenzy and is good for acclimatizing new, smaller acquisitions. The fish will eat huge amounts in one day, its be...

HELP, my angelfish has just started attacking the female one

Usually, my two angels get on like a house on fire, but today, after i removed my two pictus cats and two clown loaches, and introduced some new plants, the male angel has started biting the scales and ripping the fins of my female. Why? i fear that the lfs will not take these two back as planned by...

why does it have to be big? why not a nice biotope for a shoal of Glass catfish, that would be ace!! With all that space, im sure any small fish would forget its in captivity!

I dont think a catfish tank would be good, unless they are the same kind of catfish, for example: -Pictus Catfish aquarium (4-6) if your tank is big enough -small plecos aquarium (added bonus of breeding fish!) i mean, i only like tanks that look natural, so you could even do like a biotope tank, li...

you know what would look good in that?
Lots of Neon Tetras!
or maybe a common plec
i think you should really understock a huge tank like that, to give the fish heaps of space!

Common Sticklebacks (UK)

I suppose if i only caught a few it would, but they like to shoal! I have a spare tank, filter, and a heater, although i do...

obviously, an easily bred plec is the common BN. They do look kinda boring in some pics, but mine is a wealth of activity, and a real joy to watch.
go for the common BN
