:topic: What cichlid is that in your avatar?
My biggest fish regret would be my Von Rio tetra that killed everything.
I'm not fishndude, but that is a Severum in his avatar.
Sorry for butting in.
Biggest regret a very nasty Tilapia buttekoferi. Just wasn't the time to have him.
Major havoc caused.
American Flag fish, not for a community fish tank, no matter how much it is planted.
prepare to pick up death fish if you have fish smaller or in similar size as flag fish in your tank.
SAE, (langei and atrimiles) bought several as juveniles, growup to full length adults and still dedicate to their faithfull career-cleaning algae.
But they all realized the other side of the glass was not water before they went to heaven.
now I have only 5 junveniles left, hair algae is out of control since they are not big enough to mow down hair algae.

A rubberlip pleco from petsmart with ich. Wiped out an entire 29 gal, including my prized oblongum pair. Very sad time for me.
I rescued 32 Dario Darios from a guy that had to get rid of them and put them in a couple community tanks. It was just too tough trying to keep them fed. Live blackworms were the only thing they all seemed to like, and they were outcompeted for food by the other fish. I target fed them but even the little neons would swoop in and take food right out of their mouths at times.
One by one they died of bloat or some other ailment. The last one lived maybe 4 months.
