brtaylor2000 Enthusiast Posts: 193 Kudos: 154 Votes: 0 Registered: 03-Sep-2004	I seen a cichlid that looked just like nemo it was about 3/4 long and had nemo colors. I forget what type it is and im willing to invest into getting one once my tank is cycled. I currently have dainos Im going to school them and add some cories and maybe some small tetras will the cichid be able to get along in this type of envirment? I really really want this fish

Secondly, I'm kind of iffy on the setup you mention, because if this cichlid gets very big at all, it might eat your tetras. Just some food for thought... And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

Somehow I doubt that it remains small, anyways. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

Go back to the store, write down its name and come back and tell us, we can take it from there. The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. - Oscar Wilde

Silverlight Enthusiast Posts: 212 Kudos: 396 Votes: 43 Registered: 04-Jul-2004	Damsels are saltwater fish. Actually, I've never heard of a Damsel that looked like Nemo, but Clownfish look exactly like Nemo - they were the model - and you may have mistook one for the other on the tank labels or something. In any case, either one of those is a saltwater fish, and cannot be kept in freshwater at all. [span class="edited"][Edited by Silverlight 2004-09-06 20:22][/span]
