chibikaie Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I guess? Usually they are just overlooked because they're North American. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctaylor3737 Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 It can get messy but the majority of the time we never fed beef heart. It was always tubifex worms, bbs, etc etc With three canisters rated at 100g each it did most of the cleaning for us beef heart is like cheeseburgers they get fat!-Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted June 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I'm proof of that...and pizza! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtletanks91 Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Haha funny thing, cheeseburgers are literally my favorite food. I prefer live foods or frozen foods over beef heart though. I only used beef heart for my oscars to bulk them up fast. The discus we were careful about the foods we fed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wicca32 Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 soothing look into pygmy sun fish from florida or even blue fin killie. both are north american natives, and some have been breeding for a more red on the fins of blue fin. and pygmy sun fish can have diff color depending on where they were collected. a friend of mine has had some wilds that he has been captive breeding for probably almost a year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chibikaie Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Seriously? I've never liked cheeseburgers. Maybe I've never had a good one. Can't wait to see what you decide on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

00camaro16 Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 See I tend to not like colorful fish... I really like Suttle fish that have little unique features that set them apart... but my main thing are oddballs. Ones not many people have or have even seen, less known the better. Think gar, knife fish, freshwater eels, gobies. Once all my shrimp move over to the other tank I am going to get a few Hillstream loaches, I really like these but it's not yet know if they are baby shrimp yet or not.

Soothing Shrimp Posted June 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Well, to each their own. You will find plenty of people who would agree wholeheartedly with your line of thinking. For me, I like bold colors. Heck, I'd be pleased as punch with a tie dye fish. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtletanks91 Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Lol sad thing is people actually do die, tattoo, and inject fish with hormones to brighten them up and sell for a higher price. Chibi-too bad you don't live in the Bay Area there's a place that has killer burgers. And then of course I have a recipe for some killer burgers too haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chibikaie Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Bold red always makes me think of blood. Then I feel compelled to start looking for the source of bleeding. My sister lives out that way, but when I visit we're too busy pigging out on the good vegan or vegetarian food that just isn't found elsewhere. Between the weather and the food, I'd really consider moving there, but I'd feel pretty guilty owning a fish tank in a draught and earthquake prone area.

Subtletanks91 Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Yeah, Unfortunatly that goes with the territory, but I think IDE rather be in an earthquake prone area than a tornado alley -.- lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowpetals Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Soothing- I compiled my favorite freshwater fish on pinterest a while back. Lots of colors for you to enjoy http://www.pinterest.com/snowpetals/freshwater-fish/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triton Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Look into Blue gularis... love mine. The male is one of the more colorful fish I've seen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc4PC2 Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Loved that page! Thanks for doing that. I have been looking for what I want to put in my 10 gallon tank. I want it to be freshwater fish, not shrimp. Just maybe four of them max in the tank. I love those Panda Loaches, they are very cool. The Zebra Pleco is too. I wish they made dwarf discus. You would think someone would have breed them by now. snowpetals 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted June 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 seems like it would be easy to do. Pick the runts of the litter and keep breeding those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted June 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 I know I went bonkers with shrimp, and may go bonkers with killis- so I'm staying away from guppies for the most part! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctaylor3737 Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Hard part with smaller discus is it is usually from being sick. So it's hard to judge if they are smaller or were just mistreated. Takes a year or so to grow them fully. May take a few years to even get any results. Not saying it can't 've done but will be challenging. I have some smaller discus I took in maybe I'll start with those -Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
