tinytawnykitten Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Does anyone have one of these? What are they like to keep in a community tank? Are there any fish they are no compatable with? Any special needs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snookie Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 cool fish related to arowana ,african top dwelling fish enjoy living in floating plants , dont like much water movement , mouth size fish will be eaten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinytawnykitten Posted March 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Would it eat my Dageti Killifish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snookie Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 probably eventually :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarimochi Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 yes it will. they are the single most boring fish i have ever kept. you might aswell keep some dead leaves floating in the corner of the tank cos theyll be more exciting.

Adrienne Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 I really like them, would like one in my discus tank but it has no lid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinytawnykitten Posted March 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Hmm methinks the dead leaves will be cheaper and not eat my killifish! I will keep my $47 and do that instead. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tHEcONCH Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 They are a cool looking but inactive fish. Unless they are spawning, they are snoring. The novelty wears off pretty quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henward Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 agreed they are boring lol novelty but boring i prefer novelty size wise as opposedto something that looks funny you hardly even see them eat or move Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinytawnykitten Posted March 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Thanks for all your advice. I have definitely decided not to get one. I haven't bought a fish for ages though so I am keep to add something interesting to my 3ft community tank. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heir Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 ive kept one theyre awesome but require a special diet as they dnt really take flake cant remember what but anyways your not interested in one now lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakyfish Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Mine never stop swimming around Fascinating to watch them eat I feed mine some floating pellets but they eat any insects plus mine eat flake as well I think they are great as long as you dont have any smaller fish then them Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
