SWEET silver dollars!i wanna mix bichir with silver dollars but due the fast eating nature of the silvers i doubt the bichir will get enough food! Beautiful tanks though everyone! Red Hooks are also awesome!

garlic? never heard of that. i'll give it a go- does it just make it smell better or sumthin?
yeah similar to that, if you had a stubborn fish/pet that doesnt want to eat the food, garlic helps that food out!

And i see Gar, dont your SD's steal the food from them?
I got to feed my sd's at the same time i handfeed my gar, for they'll team up on him to get the fish he's eating.:screwy:

I had my tank planted when i got them, but they never took any interest in the plants. My LFS said all plants would be eaten, well, mine don't.
Come to think of it, they actually steal the Pleco wafers, Vieja pellets, my Oscar's worms and the Gar's fish...
Stealing food is their nature!:D

The SDs don't eat the pellets I feed my gar, because the pellets are too big to fit in their mouths, and they float! They do steal Algae Wafers, as well as the pellets I feed my Pleco, but then the gars steal those foods, too. Everyone steals from everyone LOL.
 
here are some aureum's rarely seen in the hobby.
I've got 20 pcs if anbody wants a few.
They have orange trim around the fins and orange ring around the eye.

They are very active. I have 6 of them. 2 red fins and 4 red hooks. I'm planning to get 6 more red hooks.
 
I added a couple leaves I trimmed off of some anubias to see if my SD's would eat it (red hooks, duriventre, schomburgki), and there was nothing left within a couple hours.

Not too sure why you'd need to cook any vegetables to get SD's to eat them because they eat all sorts of vegetation , in the wild. I feed mine celery cut into thinner strips on a regular basis, along with cucumber, zuchinni, and any other vegetable 'trimmings' from the store (ie. brocolli stems cut into slices etc.).
