oh ok then make sure whoever is getting the baby doesnt put it in a tank with big discus and make sure they have a big enough tank for him.
Hey!! the guys trying. give him a break. everybody has a newb moment in this hobby. try to be a little easier on him
I think the members here gave him a break..even talked him into consolidating the facts into a single thread for solid input, which he actually did thankfully. As he was posting in that thread, he continued to buy more fish and add more tanks. He has some other ideal on what he wants to do than most members here. He wants acceptance and disregards most all solid advice. While keeping his tanks in this level of conditions, he continues to give some very weak advice to others about how to do the same.
Don't see how a Newb can give so much "advice" while totally ignoring the help he asked for and resulted in him asking the thread to be closed because he didn't care to listen to it.
So be it...his fish....but as some one reading his posts, I would hit bypass. Sorry, but this is getting out of hand.
well he's trying to fix it now. he dug a deep hole and there's not a magical button to fix all the problems. he's selling the discus and juvie angels and seperating the rams and corys. atleast he's trying. some people would let them stay like that and not even care.
Actually, many Synos are actually aggressive to one another, such as S. eupterus and S. angelicus. Upside down catfish are an exception, along with some other Synos.
Ritap, you do read about the fish you purchase, right? It's really helpful when selecting fish to just do a Google search for the scientific name, and pick the hits from the most reliable websites, like Planet Catfish. I really like this website for profiles: http://www.seriouslyfish.com/
Taking people's word for things is not really the best way to learn. Rather, read from books or websites first, and then take people's experiences and observations as supporting info. Books and websites will give you the most general consensus as to how to care for a fish. Most profiles talk about compatibility. It is well known that Corydoras and dwarf cichlids are not compatible, because they don't stay out of the territory of these bottom hugging fish. It may work for some people, especially if the fish aren't paired and they have a lot of room, but once breeding behaviors start up they are going to get hurt.
For example, people feed pacus meaty foods all the time, because they look like piranhas. In reality, their teeth are made for vegetable chomping and they should be fed a vegetarian diet. A quick Google and browsing WEBSITES (not comments on forums) that have reliable, professional info will tell you that right away.
It's hard to believe anyone would pay $120 for those sorry looking fish. Hope your deal goes through, although I would be feeling unethical about it...

Here is a list of Synos and their profiles from Scot Cat, another trusted website:

yep..no magical button...but buying more fish and more tanks doesn't solve anything.
But I thought buying more tanks always solved everything?!
haha thats what i thought.
actually, i bought the upside down cat when i had just started fish keeping and i never checked to see which type, i have had it for 2 years. And for $120, they are getting 8 baby angels, and some plants too, but I don't want much, but the people don't believe that they are stunted, so i can't do anything else.
thx for the links
i'll check that out
and now, i do read up on the fish i want before i buy them, with the exception of the rams, those were just buys, but they do seem fine, and i was anyway planning on separating them into other tanks because i knew they would probably bully my yoyo loaches(which poke their heads everywhere) and my upside down cat(which goes crazy at night)
