Weirdest Combination of Stock in a Successful Tank You have Seen?

[dbcb314]

What are the weirdest mix of fish you have ever seen in a tank? Successful tanks only... don't need to hear about the pirhanna and gold fish that lived together for 2 days before the P ripped it apart lol

2 male bettas and a red ear slider

[HPIZZLE]

RES and a jardini

RES and a jardini

[LBathory]

adult piranhas and redhooks.

Silver Dollar with rbp, guys did it at the lfs to see how long it would last. It was about two years before the rb's finally tore it apart they thought because the dollar did not grow as fast and was a lot smaller and so, become lunch.

yea pacu and rbs ive seen together for life. the weirdest one tho was my leopard puffer and my silver aro they loved eachother, i feel so bad i had to seperate them

[syddakyd]

o yea i forgot to mention. it was a 55g community with 4 male bettas.

turns out their aggression is way over hyped and if the tank is heavily planted and creates visual barriers...they set up their terrirtories like cichlids.

obviously in a small tank one betta will die just like any other aggressive fish. you dont put 2 mbuna in a 5g and expect harmony, right?

*waits for the bs about a guy putting 2 bettas in a lake and they find each other*

55G with 1 male betta, 1 Cory, 5 Kuhli loaches, 2 BN breeding pairs, and 1 tetra.

Coryd55 (http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/member.php?u=42970) You still have the kuhli's? I wish I could pick them up. I think they are really cool and am kinda building a loach tank. I am not doing what is recommended, as i have no two of the same. They do still seem to shoal together though,

10'' Leichardti with 4 1.5'' Golden Barbs.

A 3 lb. P'bass and a 6" Green Heckel Discus that were "in love". The Discus even started trying to go after the shiners that I fed the P'bass. I had them for about a year before I sold the P'bass. The guy that bought him, had to come back about two weeks later and buy the Discus to stop the P'bass from sulking. Last I heard two years later they were still inseperatable.

[gar man]

an adult angelfish and 7 neons

[Pyramid_Party]

Aro & Discus



Oh and a 4/5 inch goldish with a 2 foot or so Aro. And the goldfish was bossing the Aro.



Ive had a jewel cichlid and ruby scat with eachother and the Jewel was in love with it, followed it everywhere. I think it was intrigued by it since it appeared a little unusual.

Hmmm.....the guy is on here I believe, but he really has a tank of "STRAIGHT KILLERS"....

Adult Armatus
Adult Lacerdae
Adult GATF if im not mistaken
and some others cant remember but all the fish are large and seemed to be doing well with each other...

My 75G was pretty weird.

2 breeding pairs of honduran red points
2 synodontis nigrita
1 jardini arowana
1 firemouth
60 red point fry
2 polypterus

and...
15 neon tetras

[latshki]

my tank is pretty wierd it has 5 sword tails, a yellow lab, convict, pictus cat, black neon tetra, 2 red eye tetra, opaline gourmai, yoyo loach and three otos

[latshki]

also about how bettas will kill each other
they only kill each other because the loser cant just swim away like in the wild how as soon as one gets a little hurt he is declaried loser and makes a hasty retriet but I suppose in theory it could work out if they had their territories
