Re: Recommended food options
I've recently been trying out Ultra Fresh Tropical Fish Food and I'm really impressed with the results. Their "Excellent Bits" is a probiotic food that's supposed to reduce fish waste, and I've noticed a difference in my tank. The slowly sinking pellets really get the fish excited, it's like a ...

Re: Do smaller fish mimic similar species to fit in, like silver dollars?
I have 3 larger regular silver dollars, about 4 inches, and no spotted ones yet, still trying to get some. I may remove one or two of my regular ones, as one has a pretty big streak on its side, doesn't look like a growth, maybe a bacterial issue. Now that my quarantine and hospital tanks are up and ...

Re: Do smaller fish mimic similar species to fit in, like silver dollars?
I'd have to corral the fish against the front of the tank to get a decent picture for identification. The first picture I took is of my larger tiger, and the second is of the two newer additions. I'm due for an upgrade on my cell phone next week, this one's an older model with some issues, so I'm ...

Re: Do smaller fish mimic similar species to fit in, like silver dollars?
Looks like this thread was tailor-made for you, I need to get some pics for the seller, so be on the lookout for those soon.
Getting good shots is gonna be a challenge, my tank's turned into a jungle with all the plants, and it's only accessible from my work area, which is pretty cramped - I've ...

Re: Do smaller fish mimic similar species to fit in, like silver dollars?
Seller just got back to me, doesn't think spotted would start mimicking the tigers, said more likely the pickers grabbed the wrong ones... wants me to send some pics & he'll sort it out... he does have both in stock, so we'll see what he says after I send the pics...

Re: Do smaller fish mimic similar species to fit in, like silver dollars?
Has anyone else ever seen this happen - I've got a bunch of small Tigers now, even though technically half of them are supposed to be Spotted...

Do smaller fish mimic similar species to fit in, like silver dollars?
I'm building a mixed shoal of silver dollars, started with the regular ones and they've grown to be the big guys, about 4 inches now. Got some tigers next, but only managed to get one at first, it's slightly smaller than the regulars - interestingly, its tiger striping was pretty faded at first but ...

Can larger corys coexist with young shrimp?
I'm planning to add some blue shrimp to one of my tanks, but I don't want them in the same tank as my Cherry shrimp. I've got a tank that's currently housing 4 adult black Cory's temporarily, until I get my next bigger tank set up. My question is, would they eat shrimp that are smaller than 1/2 inch ...

Panda Garra's actually eat bio film, not algae.

Re: Can bumble bee gobies and plecos be tankmates in a chlorine-free environment?
Most gobies, including the bumble bee, tend to be on the timid side - there are exceptions, mind you. A fish that resembles them but might be more resilient to a pleco is the panda garra.
