Hi,
I am knew to this sight...
A little background...I like to have aquariums...mostly fresh water...my dh knows more about this stuff then me...I'm always learning.
At this time we have a 55 gallon,
One medium Percustamus
two cat fish...bought at the same time but one is very tiny.
I was told the cat fish were some what aggressive when I got them. I wanted to get a couple more fish that may eat snails and live with the catfish. So a few months later I bought to more bottom feeders.
Now I bought these fish on a whim and not knowing if they would be the best for my tank. And ofcourse I was tired at the time...
I went to this awsome store that usually will be up front and sell you the fish you need for your tank. Usually they know what they are talking about. I've met the owner and he knows everything about all fish...just awsome...Well they pushed me off to 4 different people to finally find someone that would help me find a fish that would work with the cat fish. I also felt this man thought I knew nothing about fish...and wondering if he just couldn't sell them...I should have sad NO and went to the next store. :argh
Ok he sold me something called a Blueberry Buda (or Buta). They have a blue body and a bright orange/red tail. If they will remind you of a clown loach but much thinner. I noticed that these fish are super aggressive and now affraid they will take over the tank. Not what I wanted. Though the snails have dissapeared and that is a good thing. (I suppose hiding)
Please I have looked everywhere on the internet and know where do I find that name??? Does anyone here know what this fish is?? Where it came from?? I need to study it...I may need to divide the tank or something?:confused:
PS sorry for all the spelling errors! ;)
Edited to say the catfish will grow large...I think 8 inches or so??
