Dixon1990 Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 I just got 4 leopard fish a few days ago, they are in a 38cm x 19cm x 19cm tank. Could i put anything else with them? If so what could i put with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Google Phalloceros caudomaculatus Leopardfish are fine with other cold water fish a similar size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sub.z Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Is there a few different varieties or do they just differ in colour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Different splotch patterns. Basically creamy and greenish/black. males usually have darker colours than the females who tend to be paler with less splotches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malawimad Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 I got some coldwater guppies with my leopards, thought they both livebearers and cold water, just took it for granted they go together only got them for about a week now they still swiming around merrily. :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 You know full well there is no such thing as a cold water guppy! :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilson Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 all they are are normal guppies that have been ajusted to the cooler temps over time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Not necessarily even that wilson. Guppies are able to tolerate temperatures cooler than other tropicals. That does not make them coldwater. If you have a well insulated and warm home then they can be kept in a tank without a heaterstat but that does not make them cold water guppies.

Malawimad Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 :oops: Sorry Caryl, will move them inside tonight Sorry to sabotage your post but... I am confused now!! Really did not know that. Except for minnows never gave cold water fish any thought before a week ago. will have a chat to the guy who sold them to me this weekend, just shows how much you don't learn when you neglect the fnzas website for a year or two!! Have there been any posts on this topic? "coldwater but not coldwater fish" like these guppies? If they not cold how do they get around white spot?

Caryl Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Yes quite a few times the subject has come up. People have commented when 'cold water' guppies have been offered on Trademe too. The guy will claim he is right though. :roll: Anything below 16 - 18C and those guppies will be in trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carla Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 They die at or below 15 degrees - I have tried it out (by mistake one night). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
