What fish do you keep??

[celestialdude]

Ah yes Anabantoids… also known as the labyrinth fishes. They are awesome, I’ve thought about them… for later when I have more space. I especially like the Blue / Opaline Gourami. Also like the Giant Gourami, but again, space constraints for now.

I have a couple of Scarlet Badis with my CPD’s. Anyone else have any experience with these guys?

[ste12000]

No but i wouldnt mind a couple. They apparently act and spawn in a similar way to the dwarf cichlids. As you might of guessed dwarf cichlids are my favourate group of fish.

I’m having trouble getting them to eat. I just got some Garlic extreme to add to the food, but I’m not sure it helps with these guys. My other fish love it though. Any suggestions?

Any kind of live food should be taken immediatly, the wiggle factor usually does the trick!

[L777]

I see a South America / SE Asia theme (soft water constraints?) running through these posts!

Here’s my aquatic friends:
29 gallon (from the top): 5 marbled hatchets, 1M/1F praecox rainbow, 9 (5/4?) cardinal tetras, sidthimunki loach (I forget the genus – reorganized recently?), 2 “sumo” loaches (Schistura cf. balteata), gold nugget pleco (L85/L177?), 1M/2F L401 plecos, 4 king tigerish (L66/L333?) plecos. Much java fern.

20 gallon: bazillion mongrel yellow guppies, bazillion bushynose plecos, 2 Sterbai corys, 2 kuhli loaches. Much java moss, hollow grapevine log that papa bushynose keeps himself confined to except the 2 days a month when he tosses out the next batch of wigglers.

10 gallon: 5 baby bushynose plecos, hundreds of Malaysian live-bearing snails, and… 6M/3F breeding CPDs (with approx 35 fry)!!!

10 gallon: 15 baby bushynose plecos, 1 subadult long-finned albino bushynose… 40 CPD fry!!!

6 gallon: 3 baby bushynose plecos (see a theme here?), 4-8 mystery fry of unknown origin — appeared a day after adding java fern from the 29g community tank above to this otherwise unpopulated tank. Only time will tell… so long as the blasted hydra keep their tendrils off the fry.
