Best wet pet decision

[Backfromthedead]

I agree with duanes. If I ever set up a solo cichlid tank again it will be a haitiensis tak.

Another possibility for a wet pet is the weather loach. They are amazingly interactive with their owners, during feeding, maintenance, and so on.

Good idea although iv heard they often sit motionless on the bottom and aren't always the most active but i guess each individual is different

My Fahaka doesn't stop moving unless it's night time... During the day he doesn't stop swimming around and begs for food whenever I come near his tank. He also eats right out of my hand.

One of my worst fears is getting bit by a puffer lol

I've been bitten while cleaning the tank. He didn't break skin (luckily) but it did pinch pretty good and leave a mark for a few days.

I don't have rd or midas but I do have oscars and fh. It's close but my fh is a little more personable and is the most interesting fish I've observed to date. Just a cuckoo fish. Only fish I've ever seen try to swim in vertical circle,for no reason, without rotaing his body lol. Completely goofy fish.

I avidly have a gold severum of all things that's very personable. I really wish I'd kept him solo from the start. I think he'd be as good as any wet pet if I had.

I haven't experienced one myself, but I've dubs a lot of reading on them and wonder if the lyonsi weighs make a good wet pet. It's an amphilophous after all.

The black nasty would be cool and though smaller a cuban could pet cool as well

I would do a trimac or a parachromis (maybe pair depending on species). Probably a trimac for more interaction.
