henward Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 same problem here i coudlnt think of anything Track down a jardinii, they are not as much of jumpers as silvers i find my one has not jumped EVER! my silver jumpd about 100 times in one day for the first day, or just splash out and get that 1800 golden aro on trade me haha if you get the aro, youc an put 3 to 5 cm of gap and not fill up the tank so much so when they jump they can do it with less risk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbert Posted October 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 i heard jardinii were best kept by themselves as they kill anything else in a tank? its also a planted tank, ahhhh yes the golden aro, we can dream haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henward Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 yeah, its not a dream , its only 1800 dollars. lets break that down:P 34 dollars per week you can get one lets say ... how much does a person love fish, thats the question. do you love it more htan ice cream, coke, ciggarettes, cookies. averagepack of cookies 4 dollars ciggies 23 for a 20 pack i think coke 2 dollars per bottle bottle of water you buy in petrol stations 3 to 4 dollars so average home buys 1.5 tub of ice cream.... 9 dollars see, savings are everywhree. 100 watt lightbulb on for 12 hours a day is 6 bux per month or so easily afford it, wether or not you wish to spend that much money on a fish.......when you can go to fiji for 8 or 10 nights...... my jardinii is with a tyre track eel, bichir, 2 plecos. dont harm them at all but, i had a giant gourami in there, it didnt like tha tone, i think it depends on the fish there is this theory that fish give off certain frequencies that dictates if they are the top dog, prey or not. and some fish are prey to others and some predators are prey to other predators. groud dwellers must give off a DONT TOUCH ME IM HARMLESS AND I CLEAN YOUR TANK frequency. for example when a aggressive cichlid goes in with a jardinii, instantly friction. either from both or from one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
