    New banjo cat!

    I must say, that banjo catfish is the ugliest fish I have ever seen. Which naturally means it's adorable and I want one haha. I like the silver ones but have no idea what they are (I stick to smaller fish then that haha).

    Is my male strawberry hifin platy blind?!!!

    Then, assuming no water conditions or diseases, he's probably just used to it. My fish have mixed reactions of my arrive - some rush up to the side of the tank, some hide, and some just sit there thinking "Wonder what dry land is like?"

    Is my male strawberry hifin platy blind?!!!

    Does he generally swim into things (like, more so then the other fish)? Or does he just not give a darn when someone walks by?

    Video of my 120G Oscar tank + filtration questions!

    Very cool :D For the overflow the only thing I can think of is to put some snails in there to eat the debris. An alternative to the large slightly dirty piece is to get some kind of foamy pre-filter and put it on the bottom to catch the drops before they can make noise. You could also try to...

    All of my Gouramis getting bladder disease and then getting sucked in filter.

    Ok, assuming the worst you need to return all of the fish right now and leave the tank running empty for about a week or so. Then start it off with smaller hardy fish (I suggest a school of tetra, 5-7 of them, neons are a good start). Leave the tank running again for another few days before...

    All of my Gouramis getting bladder disease and then getting sucked in filter.

    Before we can do that can you post the filtration, the current water parms (Ammonia, Nitrate, Nitrite, ph) as well as if the tank is panted or not. Also, is there floating decor/cover for the gouramis? If not they may be trying to hide using the filter, which I assume is a basic HOB filter...

    "Showcase" fish in an otherwise cat-centric tank

    Well, with such small number they won't really school unless frightened so it doesn't matter but I personally go with one school and one species because it looks better. I'm not sure about the Raphael eating the cories, it really depends on if they fit in its mouth and it can catch them.

    "Showcase" fish in an otherwise cat-centric tank

    Hmmm... 30 Gallon Tall Tank or 30 Gallon Wide Tank? That will pretty much decide what fish best suits your needs. Fish that can go with either would be, say, Neon Dwarf Gouramis or a Pearl Gouramis. The Raphael Catfish will get to be 7 inches long and the rule of fish is that if it fits in...

    Looking for a centerpiece fish

    With that stock I'd say some kind of Dwarf Gouramis, or perhaps a Killifish. I also suggest increases the cory school.

    20 Gal. Tetra Only Hex Tank Setup

    Hmmz... you could probably do a ram in that tank, but it is a hex... I'd suggest shrimp, maybe a planted invert tank? If fish are a must then maybe some black neon tetras, a gouramis (dwarf, I'd suggest a sparkling gouramis), and 2-3 ottos. Tank should be planted if you want these fish. The...

    Freshwater Fish Suitable for a 5g?

    Don't forget to filter and do waterchanges :P

    I think I have a fish problem

    The Bala Shark will get too large for that tank and they are, from what I know, fairly aggressive fish. They grow to be 1ft or larger and will eat pretty much anything they can catch. I don't know enough about Raphael Catfish to say why it's acting like that but I can tell you it won't outgrow...

    Glass Bloodfin Tetras

    First Rule of Fish: If it's not getting away and can be eaten, it's food. Second Rule of Fish: If it's edible, eat it. Third Rule of Fish: Everything is edible. If the pleco was already dying/dead then pretty much any fish would eat it, if it was healthy and active then that scares me... I've...
