Caper Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Hi there Well, if you've been reading these forums, then you already know how wonderful the people here are to help out. I certainly can't help with real plants; I don't have any! Too chicken to try them as yet Thinking of another tank already :lol: then you have come down with the incurable disease MTS :lol: :lol: Its the only disease I know of that people like having :bounce: :bounce: Post a pic of your tank sometime and let us know what kind of fishies you have.

stagger lee Posted October 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 They are great little fish, they really caught my eye in the LFS one day. Their proper name and spelling(it is Sunday) Gertrude's Blue-eye Rainbow Fish (Pseudomugil gertrudae) http://www.tropicalfishfinder.co.uk/art ... .asp?id=16 They are really little but very active busy wee things. And such blue blue eyes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustcooktea Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Welcome along! Those Gertrude's Blue-eye Rainbow Fish look so nice. I haven't heard of them either. The link says they don't live long - are you going to try breeding them? MCT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stagger lee Posted October 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Hi MCT, I was thinking about breeding them, but right now i have my hands full trying to grow plants in my bigger tank. I think my brain might burst if i try too much at once (but i am a woman so should be able to multitask!). Maybe nature will just take its course as they are the only non-bottom feeders in thier tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
