candy Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 i bought some plants yesterday and when i got home found the bag moving and this little guy had hitched a ride... found out what he was by looking at pics on the net.... does anyone have any? are they as agressive as the web pages say towards small fish..eg.betta , cherry bards, black neons? he seems fine and happly finding places to hide in my drift wood. if i do keep him i will get him some friends but first want to know if he is ok wih my fish... also wat does he eat. so far iv put in a sinking wafer he might of eaten and some blood worms?

fishboi Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 cool lucky score :bounce: they're reasonably peaceful fish and would eat just about anything that gets to the bottom of the tank also any snails u have. they can get a little nippy but not a big deal since they're always at the bottom. good idea to have 2 or 3 of them together though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smidey Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 I have two skunk loaches with 10 neons, 5 glowlights, 4 angels, 2 gourami, 4 serpae neons, a BN catfish & a clown loach & they are not agressive at all, even to each other. they spend most of their time burrowing under my swamp kauri & i hardly ever see them compared with the others. I paid around $10 each for mine at about two inches long. http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g183/ ... 9cb488.jpg Smidey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candy Posted August 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 i know that iv got is a skunk..any one want to offer it a new home? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooky Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 I can't offer it a home, but I just wanted to say that I got mine the same way - it came with the plants. First fish into the tank and it's still there 2.5 years later. Its been a wonderful fish, I just had to make sure it had a hole it could call its own to hide in. It certainly hasn't grown to 30 cm. I also suspect it was involved in the sudden snail depopulation - another redeeming feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke* Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 I had a couple and found they harassed my tetras so I traded them in in the end. Just my experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
