I don't know the hutt that well, is animalz there too?

Nope, a pet shop in my local area. I live in Kapiti, it's just the one in coastlands. I usually use my super secret out of the way one, but they didnt have what i urgently needed. What is animates like these days? haven't been in yonkers. Overpriced by the sounds of it.

It's been a while since I last owned a fish tank with guppies in it, let alone been into a pet shop. And today I went in to have a look for the things i need for my little aquarium and I had a quick browse at the fish. Now the last time I bought guppies out of the very same shop they cost me about $5 for a male and around $4 for a female or something like that. I had a shock when i saw a male was $13.90 and a female was $11! What the hell happened?

They are gorgeous wee fish! a very fine example. I wonder if they would go OK in my little tank.

Yeah, they definitely weren't those - but i'm sure they wre Harlequin -somethings. haha meh. I'll have to go have another look.

Wait, I lied, just did a google image search on harlequin rasboras and they weren't what I thought they were. The fish I'm talking about were sort of guppy looking but they were a bit longer without the big tails and they had little bits of green and then purple shiny spots all over their dark bodies.

Awesome thanks for that! If I was going to get the Harlequins, how many would I be safe to get? I don't want to overcrowd, because I know the tank is quite little.

Just been at my LFS talking to the fish guy there who I dealt with back when i had my other tank. He had some Albino kribensis and thought they'd be fine in it. He also had some harlequin rasboras too - they are a groovy little fish. So i've got a bit of choice. I'll wait for my tank to heat up then make a decision further. What sorta temp should I be running for all these? It's been a while since I've done this! Sorry for the nub questions guys and girls!

Hi guys, A few years ago I had a couple of big fish tanks. One with 2 12" Tiger Oscars and a turtle, and one with some smaller fish. We had to get rid of those tanks though because we just didnt have room for them. So i've decided to get back into the hobby. I've just bought a little 25litre tank to keep a couple of little tropicals. I was initally going to get goldfish, but have read heaps on this website about why it wouldn't be a good idea. What sorta fish can I put in it that aren't too big? I want something colourful and I don't want a heap of fish, would just like to keep a pair of fish. Want something with a fair bit of character too. Not like guppys or anything. They get boring. No offence to anyone, I just want to try and look after something new. The tank measures 40x26x29cm. All help appreciated. Cheers 8)
