I've seen them in the Peace River and some of the local canals, but nothing as big as that monster.

This whopper pleco was caught in an Orlando pond by a kid trying to catch a bowfin. Kid says it weighed four pounds. Wow.

I was under the impression that U.S. law prohibits importatio0n, which is why you don't see them EVER. But here's a pair on eBay, already up over $300 from a seller with no feedback...

I would advise against feeding pinks on a regular basis — too much fat. Also, some individual cichlids seem rather put off by them. I don't know if it's the warmth or the wiggling. Frozen/thawed may work better, unless you're doing it to get off on the sheer savagery.

IME, keyholes don't bother anybody, even livebearer fry.

I have no solution, but I'll commiserate. That's been my experience exactly. Tried three times with banded kuhlis — results were 18 dead kuhlis. For round four, I went with 6 black kuhlis — still have 6 over a year later. I can tell you that black kuhlis are not really kuhlis any more than a...

The great thing about selling cherry shrimp is you get so many of the same customers twice, after they feed the first batch to the (insert fish name here) that they thought only ate flakes. :thud:

And they can probably fit cherry shrimp two at a time.

Exactly what should have been expected. A little pricey for feeders, eh?

Unless the danios are giant danios, you'll be fine.

You need a bigger tank, pronto. A 55g is probably the minimum to hold both of those fish as adults. And when you say "cleaned the tank," what does that procedure entail?

They can acclimate, but they will likely have dramatically shortened life spans. It's not so much the pH, but the hardness. Tetras from blackwater rivers tend to build up calcium salts in their kidneys and experience renal failure at an early age when constantly exposed to hard water. I suggest...

You are aware that goldfish get pretty big, right?

It's all about how much you feed them. BTW, I raised two angels together from quarter size to adulthood. They snipe at each other occasionally, but most of the time they're side by side. I think they're both males. Maybe neither felt particularly dominant? IDK — it's funny how fish are so...

Not whiskers. Antennae. Spaz.

4 different answers... 1 - A betta will probably kill shrimp, but snails would be OK. What about three female bettas instead of one male? 2 - Yes, that would keep it cycled, but don't worry about that. See below. 3 - You have one male with 4 females he can definitely breed with (swords...

4 otos - Wait a while on these. Until you have algae actively growing, they are likely to starve. 5 cory catfish - Good plan. 3 swordtails - Meh. I would skip them. They tend to be "pushy" with smaller fish. 4 hatchets - Good plan. I would get more, though. Maybe 6. 1 or 2 schools of 6 of a...

Sorry about that — didn't intend to suggest adding everything at once. I would add the angels last, though. They seem to do better in a well-matured tank.

Well, I don't see anything that jumps out at me. You are keeping her maybe a bit on the warm side (I would go for 76°F). Is there a chance someone used your water bucket for mopping or something?
