All About Your Favorite Fish!

[FishHobbyist1564]

Hi everyone! This is a topic in which everyone can have fun!

Here's what you do:

1. Pick your favorite fish that is in your tank right now (it can be a couple of fish also) and post pictures of them.
2. Tell us about these fish (What is their personality like? Why are they your favorite?)
3. Anything else you would like to add about your favorite fish is also great!

Remember, this doesnt have to be your favorite type of fish. It can be a fish in your tank that you just enjoy watching.

Have fun everyone!

My favorite fish right now is my Killi fish, and my peppered corydora. But ill focus this on my Killi. (i think it is a she so ill refer to it a a she/her). she likes it when i drop worms or tiny meal worms into her tank so she can gulp them down, she jumps out of the water when i feed her flakes or shrimp or any kind. And another thing is that she is very large, shes just got volume to her you know? shes also got a huge mouth. She can be mean but id never get rid of her, ive had her for over a year now.

Then this is my favorite cory, hes just the sweetest little thing, as with all my corys though

nay i see that you have some big fish, just wondering what size tank you have and whats in there, it sounds like a very interesting and nice tank.

tank is 3' think its about 292LTR. unfortunatly ive lost a few fish this week i purchased some new ones last sunday then everything seemed to start dying. so im left with,

1 X comon plec
3 x tiger barb
1 X neon tetra
2 X golden sucking loach
2 X clown loach
3 X black molly (and 1 X small fry)
2 X zebra danios
4 X Serpae Tetras

When my large fish get bigger i will transfer then into a biger tank i wont be one of those that gives them back to the lfs after all i knew they get big when i purchased them and most of all. they are part of the family my little babies

 

[afishdude]

looks like a very nice tank, and 292 liters is 77g

 

[FishHobbyist1564]

wow those are big fish! Can we get a picture of the 7" plec?

Remember everyone, pictures of your fish give us a better idea about your fish, so if you can get them that would be great

My Favorite: Silver Dollars (have three in the tank)
Thier Personality: Hmmmm, like most Silver Dollars....they're skittish! The little ones hide in the big plant most of the time, but the big one (about the size of a small saucer) stays out more, mainly because he has trouble fitting in the plant, though he does squeeze in there when I gravel vac...he doesn't like it. I haven't managed to do so with the smaller Dollars, but the big one will occasionally let me reach in the tank and pet him (I don't do so often). They're real peaceful and get along with everyone, though they do beat up on each other a little bit.
Why Their My Favorite: Mostly because they remind me of Pacu. I used to have a Pacu once, she was my favorite fish ever. She died quite a few years ago of what we suspect was some kind of swim bladder problem. We didn't know anything about Pacu when we got one and she started in just a 20 gallon tank. We eventually moved her to bigger and bigger tanks until she died at about a foot long in our 75 gallon. I could get a bigger one, but we can't really afford the proper 200+ gallon tank that just one Pacu would require....and rather than buy a fish and eventually have it outgrow the tank and suffer because we couldn't upgrade, I just stick with its smaller cousin now. They're not as high maintance as the Pacu, but still have the relative same appareance. I also like the Dollars because they get big. Our one is kind of a conversastion piece now.....guests come over and always make comments about the "huge fish" in the tank.

I've always had an interest in Silver Dollars mainly because of their shape lol.

I like how you thoroughly explained everything to us! Great Job FinchFarm!
