I love German Rams. They are great parents, colourful and interesting. I also like corys, they are busy and funny little guys. The clown loach is a beautiful fish too! There are so many to pick from! To me any fish can be a beaut. in a healthy well planted tank. The trick is to find that balance between their natural environment and the right live foods to really bring out their colours and behaviours.

I have had all kinds of fish from tropical to saltwater and now I have fancy goldfish. They are the most peacefull fish I have ever had as well as being colourful. I faithfully do extra water changes with a small amount of salt and have never had any problems with them. Just wondering if anyone else out there keep these guys?

Well if you go ahead with it I am quite certain you wont be sorry. I have Orandas and Ranchus in my tank. Everyone says goldfish are dirty but I dont find that. I have a 40 gal that I change 10gal of water every two weeks and its crystal clear. There is seven fish in the tank. When they get bigger I will switch them over to a 55 gal.

I have to say my favorites are from the apistogramma family, I think the're some of the most beautiful freshwater fish. But I also very much enjoy angles.

They still have dwarf puffer at Ruffins and you already know I have some of the bumble gobies. I found out the Gobys eat live food or frozen brine shrimp or blood worms. Works out good as my guppies get the same. I admit I did not know that the first time I had them 3 years ago. But just got two again today and they just gobbled up that brine shrimp. lol
