Fish Crazy
So I went on Friday to pick up my females that I special ordered and the LFS tells me his supplier does not sell the females. I spent the whole weekend visiting a number of shops & have called at least a dozen and only one place can actually special order them for me. Only problem is I don't like the shop.
Every time you go in their fish are covered in white spot, they have a bunch of incompatible fish in their tanks & they just generally do not look well cared for. I guess I will just have to give up on my quest. I refuse to give money to a shop that I don't like.
All 3 males seem to be doing fine on the tank. 2 have taken up residence in small pots & the 3rd calls the cave in one of the decorations home. There doesn't seem to be any aggression at all. 2 actually swim together at feeding time while 1 seems to like eating with the Hatchetfish. Should I still rehome one of the males to the 20 gal livebearer tank or just wait and see how it goes? The livebearer tank currently holds 1 male molly, 1 male 2 female fancy guppies & 2 Oto's. Was thinking about actually moving 2 male Gouramies to this tank. What does everyone else think?
The 30 gal tank has 3 male Dwarf Gouramies, 5 Hatchetfish & 3 Upside-down catfish.
One more quicky question. What other live or frozen foods can be fed besides Brine shrimp & blood worms? I wanted to try & give them a little more variety. I also feed the same foods to my livebearer tank so I don't want anything that can introduce diseases. Is it true that if its frozen livebearers won't contract diseases from it?
Sorry for the long post. I am just full of ?'s today.
