An angry hornet haha. That's funny. My lap was pretty mean to my endli at first too. Swimming up to him and biting him for no reason. She's also bitten my teug before also but most of the time she's pretty laid back. Polys seem to be the one fish that I could never get tired of. Such amazing creatures even though mine are pretty lazy lol.
That's awesome. I may try and find a couple to see how they do. If they do get eaten don't they have some really nasty tusks?
As much as I despise buying from them, PETCO tends to have really nice CL's, they are usually like 2 inches or so but they get alot of irregular patterned ones in. As for pectoral or dorsal spines, I'm not entirely sure. Mine sit in my hand all the time when I'm working in the tank and I've never felt anything terribly sharp on them.
My petco only sells goldfish lol. But I have a petsmart close by that I may try. How slow are we talking on growth rate?
That's insane. I had a green terror that I got tired of because she never grew. I'm going through the same thing with my carpintis festae hybrid but I'm too anxious to see how he turns out to get rid of him lol.
Very true. They really do have amazing personalities. When I first set up my 180g, the three loaches and my large sen were the only two fish in the tank. I think they elected my sen as their leader, as they would follow him around the tank mimmicking his every move. It was hilarious to watch. Their communication appears to be highly complex. They change between dark and pale colors to indicate their mood to one another, and are constantly poking one another and pointing out objects of interest, which they will then proceed to buzz around until it becomes boring.
