What's Your Favourite Pleco?

Maybe. I want to breed my false Julii’s, because they should be mature by then. Also my Neons, Harliquens, and glass bloodfins.

Ohhhhh. That would be cool! I am wanting to breed my Cory Hastatus, but they are impossible to find and I only have 3. I have bloodfin tetras too! Is there a difference between glass bloodfins and bloodfins?

Hopefully I will be able to work at my LFS this summer, so it should give me excellent first hand information.

Ahh luckyyyyyy. My LFS won't hire anyone under 16, so I have to wait until next summer

They look the same to me... Maybe just different names? Like how rubberlip plecs are also called rubbernoses? Might be wrong though.

Getting a job at my LFS would be great since my dad works around the area, but... Social anxiety combined with my general incompetence surrounding fish would probably make me a very unlikely candidate for the job. Wishful thinking, though.

Ah, that’s a bummer. I turn 16 this June, so I may be able to drive myself!

In Kentucky, they can legally hire people over the age of 15, but only during the summer.

No way, June birthday buddy! Turning 17 late June lol.

That’s funny, lol. I also have a late June birthday. ?

Mine's the 23rd, seems to be rare for some reason. I've only met three other people with that date actually! To be fair I thought I was going to wind up being one of the youngest people on here.

I also told my mom "I just couldn't net the fish, I am bad at that"

Tell me about it... I don't know how they manage that at the shops. Trying to catch corys is the worst in my opinion.

Mine is the 24th, weird.

Nah, I think the youngest person on TTF is 12-13?

No way, Kuhlii Loaches in sand. It was funny trying to see the new catch them for a customer.

Definitely. The neon tetras are bad too though.

I have never seen a one in person

I accidentally squished one of my neon tetras with my net

They are much smaller than I expected them to be.

Is it ok?

Oh definitely. Worst for me are the corys and kuhli loaches. Guppies just happen to fall into my net almost too easily, though. If you want a fish that's active but easy to catch, get guppies. I've scooped them all up at least once during water changes and plant trims.

I have never seen a one in person

Kuhli loaches are adorable! They've got sweet little whiskers and cute little eyes!

Don't feel too bad... I accidentally squished a yoyo loach under a ceramic pot. Amazed that it wasn't hurt, to be honest.

It died the next day I felt awful.
