wsun013 Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 I have few tanks, most of them are guppies, I have clown loaches, SAEs, and GBAs as well. Guppies are very friendly, that they always come close when I go near the tank. I separate young ones ever since they are born, and they become friendly too about 3rd or 4th week. Loaches are shy, always play with themselves. Never get a food from my hands....sad...they are really cute though. SAEs are alert, sometimes they swim like flying (hence flying fox?), if I dont catch them for at least 5 months, they are willing to get bloodworms from me, otherwise they always keep a distant from you. GBAs...mmmm, I wonder if they care anything. Questions: 1. What makes guppies so friendly ? Are they friendly to cats as well who always try to scoop them out? 2. What are other friendly fish that you have ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbird73 Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 1. What makes guppies so friendly ? My view is that guppies are like labradors but without the brains. They love their food. They are friends with the food you bring them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gouramis will hang aroudn too when there's food to be had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ally07 Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Fish are so fickle, they only love us long time when we have the food. Once they're full, they're off to the caves.. Life's like that lol.. :cofn: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcrudd Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Friendly fish I had were :love: Guppies, they were forever around me while I gravel vacced and when I sit infront of the tank they would swim and come and look at me and follow my finger all over Betta, he was very friendly and used to follow me wherever I was in the house, I would see him swim in the direction I used to be and when I came closer he would deffinetly interact with me Bristlenose I have had two bristlenoses one male and one female that were very friendly, they would suck onto my hand while I cleaned and would eat algae wafers from out my hand as well.

Sophia Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 My killies were tame and always waiting for dinner. My new sparkling gouramis now rise to the top of the tank expectantly when I go near the tank too and follow things around that are outside the glass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
