henward Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 success! tried tinfoil barbs. not harmed, then now i have a flagtail prochilodus! cool fish. funny mouth is entertaining:) the jar can sometimes wanna chase but seems too lazy. they tend to get out of its way urgently when it gets close, but the jar doesnt pursue just minds it own business. probably cos it knows its the king. g gourami didnt suit cos the are not fast and have a seemingly mutated body, tinfoils and flagtail are really streamline fast swimmers and can out maneuver the jar very easily. and, tinfoi and flagtail doesnt eat the plants, bonus! barb eat prawns and pellets, flagtail eating with in minutes of introduction, pellets sunken and licking and sucking the wall algae:D they are schooling like they are the same fish! kinda cool, they follow each other, one would lead then they would swap the lead etc. they thinkthey are the same fish. trial and error i guess worked out!

henward Posted December 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 tank is 6ft by 55 cm by 55cm its in the garage one, mark was supposed to take it but i had a change of heart and re purchased it again:D has an over flow its not toooo big but big enough for now, the fish is about 12 inches max i think,hard to measure they never sty still:D but i dont think its currently more than 12 inches. i will upgrade to a bigger tank next year, probalby longer and wider and higher, generally bigger. but thtas next year when the fish reaches critical mass mark: so you got 3 aros now? one jar and two silvers? jar in its own tank and two aros together getting along?
