Has anyone kept a fei feng in an acrylic tank? Do their rasaping mouths scratch up the acrylic at all? I have an 6x2 acrylic im going to set up and want to put him in it. Will I have any problems?
Thanks ;)
 
it's a flower horn right? If it is then no, my mom has one all by itself for now in a 30 acrylic and yes it does like to scoop around the gravel, but it doesn't do it in a way that scratches up the acrylics. The only time that my acrlyic was scratched bad was by me cleaing it wrong. Hope this helps.

Im told that prochilodus have a soft palate. Im no expert but I dont think that it would be anything likr say, a Royal plec, Or a similar african fish, Distochodus semifaciatus.

:ROFL: :ROFL: That was seriously funny, no offense:ROFL:
 
live and learn; but honest to god, never would thought that that fish in the picture is a fei feng. Looked like the dace that are sold in cans at the chinese super market. Tried it before, and was good.
