Hi Tropical Fish Forum People!
I have been back in the Tropical Fish World for about 3 years. I have three 10 gallon tanks, one 5 gallon, and one 2 gallon that houses a Blind EE Betta who is 3 1/2 years old.They are all cycled, heated, filtered and heavily planted with live plants. One 10 gallon houses, Neon Tetras, Glofish and One half moon Betta. One houses 4 Neon Tetras and a Female Crowntail Betta. The last 10 gallon houses a divided tank with a Veil Tail Betta and a Crown Tail Betta. I have a 5 Gallon with a DT Betta that is over 3 1/2 years old.
I decided to join the group as I am having trouble with a Chinese Algae Eater who is 3 1/2" long that has become aggressive and has killed 2 Female Bettas and 1 Neon Tetra. I feel so bad as I didn't realize that he would become aggressive and get so large. I think I got the wrong fish at the pet store as I had another fish that was never aggressive but it must of have been a Siamese Algae Eater. I feel so bad about the fish I lost as one of them was raised from a fry. She was happily swimming around one day and belly up the next and I couldn't figure it out until I saw the Chinese Algae Eater attack a group of the Tetra then I googled to see if they were aggressive and low and behold they develop a taste for fish slime...
Having said this, I need to rehome him or figure something out. Thanks for reading my post!
