but you win some you lose some
I was a little disappointed yesterday So i bought a pearl scale goldfish i called popcorn and female Bristlenose I also have a young male I think. she is huge compared to him
i forgot I also ordered 2 freshwater musselsOn Friday I order some fish of a website
And today they are arriving!!
i ordered :
1x african butterfly
1x empire gudgeon
20x glass shrimp
2x silver sharks
I'm so eexcited I hope they aren't damaged or worse.....
The african butterfly ,e shrimp and the mussels arrived a few causualties with the shrimp other wise amazing
Keep in mind that 70litres will be far to small for the sharks in the long run.
In regards to the butterfly (I've had one for a bit over a month), just after getting him, he was really skittish and would only take live insects like flies, moths and little spiders. Over the first week he got less and less shy and started to take the odd pellet, then a couple of weeks later would take as many pellets that I offered (one at a time though). I have noticed that they do get startled quite easily and will dive for cover and hide for quite a while so try not to knock the tank, splash near it etc.
Also mine tends to like to sit in open water where there is no current. With even slight current he finds somewhere else to sit.

The sharks are only 5 cms when they grow a bit more they will be moved.
thats strange my butterfly fish isn't shy at all sometimes interacts with me and loves my freeze dried blood worms and doesn't mind a mild cucurrent
thanks for commenting its good to here from a fellow african butterfly keeper

Jealous doesn't begin to describe the feeling I have right now! Funny how individuals vary so much.
Does your butterfly have any hiding places at the surface?
because that makes a huge difference to how they behave I have some large banana lillies that cover the surface and hide the other fish in the aquarium .
when I said interacts I mean if I lift my finger near he's hiding he lifts his anal fin at the same time
like he's waving at me.
also. I just found out I shouldn't have 2 mussels in the same aquarium because if they breed (they are asexual) their offspring are parasitic and clog the gills of fish from 1 day to a couple of weeks
