[Camshaft Ramrod]

Exodons are a good suggestion. Mean little buggers!

Awesome fish. They're really pretty and green. The fins get all nice and red, and they also eat like pigs" miniature piranha's" Ive fed them live worms, meal worms, wax worms, and crickets. They are fun to watch cause they swim constantly. But beware cause if you have any other fish in there besides them they will gang up on them even if they are bigger. They'll harass him or kill. Can't put anyone shiny either unless you want it to die. They were fun fishes to have but I do miss mine. I had about 12 in a 29g. Good luck on your selection."

yeah they look cool but are kinda hard to get around here. how many would go in a 20g?

Banded jewel hemichromis elongatus
Pound for pound, the baddest fish around.
I had 2 that would jump out of the water to eat gold fish
out of my hand.

any pics?
or a link to some info?

they look pretty cool, and he wouldnt be in the 20 forever
so if he's a slow grower it could still work, are they?

a 20 is too small for a shoal of exos.

A pair of belenesox would be nice. I picked up a pair today!!

They are literally mollies that eat other fish!

The most aggressive fish I know of for it's size is Gambusia affinus, these little buggers will harass and kill and eat fish larger than themselves. I once caught a tiny gar about 3" long and put him a tank along with several gambusia as food for the gar. The next morning the gar was eaten down to just a few bones......
