	Update: Puntius denisonii; Field: Temperament
lochness&ruby Small Fry Posts: 9 Kudos: 4 Votes: 9 Registered: 17-Jan-2007	I have 7 Puntius denisonii and 7 Puntius titteya in a 90 tall. I acquired the Denisons at 1 inch in length and are now 5 inches - they still school and shoal and when kept in large groups of 5 or more are not reclusive nor solitary at all. Mid-range swimmers and great grazers. One of the most peaceful species I have ever kept, 2nd to Kryptopterus minor.

sirbooks Moderator Sociopath Posts: 3875 Kudos: 5164 Votes: 932 Registered: 26-Jul-2004	Reject I wouldn't add the catfish in this profile, and it really isn't possible to label fish species as "the most peaceful" or "the meanest". And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

Natalie Ultimate Fish Guru Apolay Wayyioy Posts: 4499 Kudos: 3730 Votes: 348 Registered: 01-Feb-2003	Reject Rejected because of comparison to catfish, and because these fish are indeed solitary as adults in the wild (see report from someone who collected them in the wild here: http://www.aquarticles.com/articles/travel/Subramanian_Puntius_denisonii.html). They are unaggressive (usually) and can be kept in groups, but it is not how they are found naturally in India. I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.
