which do you think i should put in a tank with 5 siamese tigers ?
i wanted a red tailed but i thought in an 8ftx3ftx3ft it might be abit cruel and the siamese tigers are only small at the moment. god i love getting discount fish :)


oo or what about a megamouth?
pat
 
im working tomorrow. ill take some then, currently they are tiny, about 7" so they are same as the siamesetigers.

giraffe-nosed's are poisonous though aren't they?? so i guess thats a talking point lol :)
 
Go for giraffe.. they are peaceful cat
 
gulper! lol j/k
 
If giraffe cats are venomous i am in trouble Trying to teach him to let him pet him. Going well if any one is wondering.

Go for the Giraffe catfish, absolutely fantastic fish. Great personality, dont scare easy and dont have the possibility of growing more than 3'. These guys are gentle giants. I've read that they can ber territorial towards each other. But there is someone on here who has three in the same tank i think. With no problems.

The only problem i have with Geoffrey (my giraffe) is that he doesnt like the bichirs. i dont know if he just confuses them for worms or he just seriously doesnt like them. Since ive never fed him worms that are 11" long i just think he doesnt like them. But they all get along, its just feeding time that trouble insues.
 
cheers people.its a pair of giraffes at £35 so i got them along with some nice black-belts for with my jack dempseys :)

oh by the way, the shovelnoses have a bacterial infection so they are looking abit screwed. and the giraffes are loving my polys! i got them in with polys, big rainbows, siamese tigers and the channa pleuro. spectacular tank ( if i dont say so)

thanks for the help tho guys. and im looking at that mega-mouth for with some nile perch or payara ???
