Post any of your smaller species from any forum... so many great smaller fish that need some exposure!

I will start with 2 of my male 5 star general, they are awesome, they are piscivores (eat other fish) and ive heard they are used to keep tilapia numbers in check. i have 6 in a 100g all +/- 10cm !-) they max out at 6 inch and are true terrors in little packages, i assumed i could keep 9 large quick tiger barbs with them and lost 8 over night with some chewed in half... wrong decision but cool fish!

Here's a picture of my 5" soon to be a monster Gibbiceps Pleco. I'm on a mission to max him out at the biggest size possible around 20".image.jpg

Well, ive had them for about a year, and they are really hard to find but really cheap, they dont show any signs of aggression towards any fish in the tank, are lightning fast ambush predators, but sometimes they miss lol. Ive been looking for more to add but its been hard to find them, they really like worms of pretty much any kind as long as they wiggle. At first you can feed them guppies and ghost shrimp though until you train them other wise, im still trying to get them to eat prawns and squid, with no luck. They are truly awesome little leaf fish though, they are always out and about its not the type of fish you rarely see lol they are kind of coooky :p
