F1sh Fingerling Posts: 26 Kudos: 12 Votes: 5 Registered: 30-Dec-2007	It is a sad day in the aquarium world of F1sh the Dwarf Gourami known as Alvin has left us all Alvin was a good fish, never bothering anyone, and would always keep the leftovers off the bottom and then the silent killer known as fin rot came into Alvin's world despite several doses of Melafix and a few salt bathes, Alvin just lost the will to live so let's all take a moment in our lives today to remember Alvin Alvin, this one's for you/:' -a solidary predator, the firetruck stalks its prey

F1sh Fingerling Posts: 26 Kudos: 12 Votes: 5 Registered: 30-Dec-2007	Alvin had no children unless he had an affair with the upside down catfish weird but thanks so much, i'm just new at this whole fish thing, and i know that there are so many factors under my control, but there are so many other factors out of my control too -a solidary predator, the firetruck stalks its prey

Shinigami Ichthyophile Catfish/Oddball Fan Posts: 9962 Kudos: 2915 Registered: 22-Feb-2001	IMO you should return that catfish to the LFS. I think I might've mentioned this before, but the Asian Upside Down Catfish grows too large for your tank and will never play nice. Also, as you found, it will make bite-size tankmates disappear; bite-size of course grows with the size of the catfish, and will eventually be rather large indeed. -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.
