BrendanNSANZ Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 cool i will have a look through and go from there. "sore?" is that picking on my spelling? It would appear that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Twisted sense of humour, but your spelling of sore was just fine and dandy. There are also "panda whiptails" here now but not many posts about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camtang Posted September 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 everybody always picks on my poor ability to spell and use proper grammer. so i find it hard to work out when in getting crap for it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discusguru Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 It's good to get pick on. That way you can learn to spell it right next time. To me that's another way to learn :thup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me that's another way to learn :thup: I wouldnt say it was good to be picked on. But if you can handle it, its fine otherwise someone mite end up like Gracie. I also cant see me spelling it rite next time as I dont even know how I spelt it wrong, but if someone was to inform me on how I spelt it wrong then maybe next time I might not spell it incorrectly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarletmonuka Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 "Sore" is "i have a sore hand" You were meaning "Saw" as in "I saw something" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David R Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Wasn't this thread about catfish or something? There are several different "whiptails" here, some get bigger than others so make sure you know what you're getting! 20cm+ not countin the tail extensions, which take it closer to 30cm...

David R Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 How easy it is depends on how educated you are on the subject The "royals" usually get bigger, but the ones offered as "red whiptails" stay a bit smaller, around 10cm IIRC, and I think the panda ones P44 was talking about are smaller growing too.

camtang Posted September 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 cool thanks for that. I will make sure i have a good look on that site before I go and order any fish in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F15hguy Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Royals also tend to be a touch more delicate and need a mature system to really thrive (im sure someone will tell me im wrong though) one of my Fav's is the rino whiptail (Rineloricara parva) doesn't get too big, breeds reasonably easily, and has a cute habit of motoring round on its front fins kinda like a tripod.
