| sham Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3369 Kudos: 2782 Votes: 98 Registered: 21-Apr-2004 | 100s of things to put in there. What do you like? Tiny fish, a couple somewhat larger fish, peaceful fish, more agressive fish, lots of fish, a few fish, 1 species, fish that interact with you more, fish that go about their business and natural behavior without noticing you, active fish, slow moving fish.... The list goes on. |

Calilasseia *Ultimate Fish Guru* Panda Funster Posts: 5496 Kudos: 2828 Votes: 731 Registered: 10-Feb-2003  | If by that you mean Pseudomugil Blue-Eyes Fallout, i'm with you on that one - those fellows are utterly drop dead gorgeous ... A link is apposite here ... List of Pseudomugil species, in many cases with accompanying photographs ... click on the species list in the left hand fr That page provides extensive information on these fishes, and will be a 'must see' page for ANYONE taking on these delightful and amazing fishes as part of their stock. My choices from that list: connieae, furcatus, gertrudae, melis and tenellus. Any of those five will be ab absolute blast in a well planted aquarium.  |

FinSandFeathersPwnsNoobs Fingerling Posts: 18 Kudos: 9 Votes: 0 Registered: 06-Sep-2006 | dave make a tank like mine with more fish in each school . Give that black skirt some friends to play with . come into my store and pick out some fish . My only suggestion is to make sure u have atleast 1 nice pleco i.e gold nugget or zebra but it depends on your paycheck. Go with alot of schoolin fish and set up a nice community tank. Like sword tails , tetras, rasboras , maybe some mollies , and some cory cats |
