Cold Ethyl 63 Posted March 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 My tanks not as big as id like but they do seem content to be honest theyre used to a lot smaller will get in touch with the guy i know and ask him what he can do for you hes in Ayrshire near Irvine.I know theres a few places in Glasgow do smaller baby ones.From what ive read theyre really difficult to breed in captivity for some reason they dont breed well in aqauriums no matter the size.The females wounds are coming along brilliantly shes healing really well and all ive done is feed them up the tank temp slightly and shove some medicine for wounded fish in the tank for her and shes thriving so far so good.The dont even flinch when you pass the tank they seem very happy i care for all my animals wether it be dogs fish or whatever else i do my best for them in every way that i can.If i didnt my terrier would have been dead months ago her vets bill this year have been thousands due ti illness and a few scraps she got herself into.Its been worth every penny as she is now thriving and like a pupppy again Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There are thousands upon thousands of diffrent speacies available yet you are encouraging people to go for a fish that is totally unsuitable for the average fish tank! there is also thousands of different species that grow to a size thats too big for most tanks but i dont hear you shouting off about them plecs channel catfish syno decorus catfish columbian shark snakehead texas cychlid oscars vegetarian pirhana are just a few fish i've seen grow to enormous sizes but yet they are sold for household tanks so why all the fuss about this one particular fish?
