Hi Guys,
Had to get rid of my silver sharks today, sold them privately. I loved them, had 6 of them but they are total pansies! I would just walk across the room turn on the light and the click noise would make them all go crazy and they would ram into the glass at the ends of the tank. They have always done it periodically but now they are doing it so often before the previous damage gets a chance to heal! Same goes for other stuff which shouldn't cause a problem but does - I opened a window yesterday and just that small noise did the same. Or if I move near the tank, it was literally getting crazy. It was a shame as they where almost 7 inches long but there where in a 100Gal tank they still had space(UK gal). They are just soo skittish so they had to go.
So my question is, can anyone suggest a fish that is quite long bodied which grows to similar size or less (I am aware how big balas get), which isn't such a scaredy cat and is a bit less wimpy and skittish?
I don't want tinfoils as they are too greedy and I mixed them with my clown loaches and they loaches damn near never ate so had to get rid too!
If only lemon fin barbs didn't grow as big. I love that shape of fish they are awesome.
I already have a flagtail so that's out of the question.
