Mosquito Fish?

Anyone have them? Are they easy to keep?

Thanks

Yes. They can be aggressive if you are talking Gambusia, however they are easy to keep. Species tank preferably

They're not really that aggressive but they can be very nippy. Individuals sometimes school with swordtails, platys and mollies. Overall i think they are easy to keep. They're quite popular as feeder fish where i'm at

Will I have bought 2 f & 1 male. If they get nippy it just gives me an excuse for another tank......

Thanks again.

Where did you get those from ( always looking to add to my livebearers )

 

[tropicalgirl2007]

A shop called hobby fish in milton keynes

yep , they are very hardy and prolific fish. mine just keeps giving birth. I recommend keeping them with their own kind because they are sometimes aggressive and their tankmates would be outcompeted for food.
to be successful,you just need to apply the same care with guppies. good luck.
