Triton Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 So, parents aren't supposed to have favorites... but we all know they do Lets see / hear about your favorite fish / shrimp / plant / or even tank. Where / when / why you got it? Why you like it... etc I'll start: Need a little backstory first... It was last year's fall auction that I picked up about 6 Fundulopanchax spoorenbergi... I had never had killies and wanted to try them out. Well at the next local meeting I went and spoke with the local "master of killies" Conrad (if you have ever bought from lotsoffish on aquabid he mentioned Conrad all the time). Well I was talking to him, about how to raise, breed and overall just make them happy, and also about possibly getting a few other types Then in the January meeting we found out Conrad had passed away shortly after Christmas, and another member walks up to me before the meeting starts with a large styro and said that Conrad had mentioned that he was going to be bring me some fish and he felt Conrad still would want me to have them. Inside the box was 6 Spoorenbergi and 3 Pairs of Blue Gularis. I had never seen the gularis before and loved them. I ended up giving the spoorenbergi and 3 of the gularis to other members (i didn't have the tank space) and brought these 3 Blue Gularis home. They have their own 10g tank with pool filter sand, 2 large mops, lots of java moss and 2 cholla logs, they are fed frozen brine shrimp and live black worms. I've gotten eggs but haven't been able to hatch them yet Let's hear about your favorite fish/tank/shrimp/ plants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OblongShrimp Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 My favorite is Celestial Pearl Danios right now. They are really cool looking but also small enough to blend into a planted tank and aren't to distracting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triton Posted March 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 yea, I had my chili rasboras with the RCS for awhile... was so hard to tell what the red swimming thing was from a distance, but now being on their own they really shine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
