AnotherHumanPerson Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I recently came across this, the hogfish. I don't think I've ever seen a more terrifying fish mouth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of the aphanius mento kirk that I keep. The last interesting aquarium suitable freshwater fish that I can recall learning of was the neon borneo sucker. I think related to the other borneo/hillstream loaches that we more commonly know in the hobby. Apparently not only do they get this cool neon green color as adults, but they can also change colors at will to the blacks and oranges that they grew from. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have Elassoma Zonatum which also looks cute but I'm looking for the Gilberti. Thank you for letting me know tho. I might get some dwarf crays from them 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can be trained to accept Xtreme micro / nano pellets. Frozen foods — chopped up Hikari bloodworms — are also doable. But live foods promote spawning. I feed Scuds, baby brine shrimp, black-worms (if you can find them), etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gannon Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Recently was able to sit and observe a pair of yellowface pikeblenny or something similar for a while in the wild. Amazing fish and so angry at us divers haha. On 1/31/2023 at 11:00 PM, ccc24 said: African Butterfly Fish. They look amazing.

Guppysnail Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 (edited) I was just at my friends from the fish clubs house. They keep these two and allowed me to take photos because I’m very interested in them. Not a lot of color to look at unless you are like me and simply enjoy a fish for their hardiness and behaviors. Neetroplus nematopus substrate spawners with the darling personality of guppies. And these guys the male is the mouthbrooding daddy day care. A touch more aggressive but they watch you in a very calculated manor. I believe plotting against you but crazy fun to watch.

Schuyler Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) Nothobranchius Ruudwildekampi Saw some eggs being sold on aquabid and was really tempted... But it's the middle of winter, they're shipping from Scotland, and I don't have space for more tanks. https://aquabid.com/cgi-bin/auction/auction.cgi?fwkillifishe&1675531211 Edited February 2, 2023 by Schuyler Adding URL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there's an answer in here somewhere that involves a shark. I had a question / idea for a topic and it was one of those that I never posted. This article... the difference between the nurse shark and the grey nurse shark is what led me here. I'll say it again.... go watch the sharkwater movies. Especially #2 on amazon prime (free if you have prime). In terms of our hobby... it's a breathtaking story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JettsPapa Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 A year or so ago 360 Aquatic in Houston had a tank of leaf fish for sale. They're pretty cool. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is that if the eggs get too cold they will die off and dissolve. That's a lot of money to ship a potential bag of dirt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
