    Month 18: Cory, again, opens the poll on whether or not he should get a haircut

    One of the best algae eaters I've found is the reticulated SAE (Crossocheilus reticulatus). Although they get fairly large and are more of a flowing water fish, I've had no problem keeping them in the low sixties in temperature. Depending on size of your ponds it could be something to look into.

    The hairy puffer us definitely one I want to keep at some point. Another one I've rarely seen but am intrigued by is Tetraodon Miurus.

    Are you looking for a single fish in the tank or an oddball/nano-monster 'community?' If you are thinking just a single specimen to rule the tank I'd say find a male convict cichlid. I know, I know, it's not rare, oddball or uncommon, but a full grown adult convict male is an impressive fish. And dedicating a tank to one as a wetpet, I think, checks the oddball box. Another single medium size cichlid could easily go there as well. Might want to avoid pairs unless youre prepared for spawns and/or aggression. Or you could think about some of the medium size aggressive puffers. They tend to be a bit inactive so you could go the route I've gone and keep a green spot puffer in brackish water. Very personable, aggressive eater, unusual, and not difficult at all. Those are at least things I've done and enjoyed.

    I don't think 4 days is an issue at all. Your fish will likely find all sorts of little unseeable morsels to pick at while you're away. Shouldnt be a problem at all.

    I would avoid pea puffers with any fish that is somewhat sedentary. The only time I've had a pea puffer successfully coexist with another species long term (9 months or so) was mosquito fish (gambusia)

    Its not anything revolutionary, but I'd stock that with Cherry barbs and khuli loaches 👍 Great looking tank

    I'd go with some dwarf sagittaria and let spread its way across the tank. Maybe some water wisteria or water sprite as well. You could plant some in the substrate but also float portions.

    Any ideas on which species of Geophagus this is? Is it possible to tell when they're this young? Approximately 2 inch size. The big box store in the area just brought some in but they don't know what they are other than 'eartheater'

    I don't know about you but my kitchen needs a Murphy Bottle Opener magnet for the fridge

    These are great fish. I've never seen a shop have females though. My small all make group is alot of fun.

    @Fish FolkI gotta thank you for your work on this topic. I've been following it for awhile and was able to implement some of the methods you learned through your own trial and error. I didn't want to celebrate too early but I think now I can safely say my first spawn of shiners are looking great!

    Try some killifish. Fundulopanchax gardneri are pretty easy to find, keep, breed, and in my experience sell to lfs and local hobbyists.

    Dang man, sorry to hear this.

    Loving these fish more everyday. Mine have finally begun to develop color. Hoping to catch them in spawning mode soon and start growing my group.

    My baby bristlenose love canned green beans, french cut.

    I second this! Really loving my native species these days. But if that's not your fancy it sounds like with the river rock, pea gravel and increased flow you talk about in your video is setting up nicely for a hillstream tank! Larger barbs, wild swordtails, loaches, maybe a group of riverine congo cichlids. one of my 75gallons has Denison barbs, congo tetras, swordtails, Odessa barbs, stiphodon gobies, bristlenose plecos and the best algae eater I've had other than bristlenose plecos, Crossocheilus reticulatus (reticulated SAE). So many possibility

    I had really great success with danio choprae in a little 30 gallon patio pond. I would scoop out the fry as I saw them to rear inside.

    I'll tell ya what, I've been sitting at the VA for almost an hour now and I sure wish they had an aquarium! As a kid my dentist had a huge saltwater tank that I actually looked forward to visiting.

    @Scapexghost mentioned rasboras and I agree. Harlequin rasboras are also an excellent little 'classic' fish.
