What are these fish? Got them free with my tanks on Craigslist.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
good question, more advanced keepers than I will know the answer lol; i've only seen these fish once, never had the chance to keep them sadly
Oh, and also I have Tangerine Tiger shrimp. Would they survive and/or flourish and breed with the Zebra Plecos (9G) better or with my scarlet badis and clown killis (10g?)

You realize each of those plecos is a $100 bill, right? if I where you I would either try to sell them or spawn them before something happens. Forget the shrimp. I would guess though, that badis and killies would be less likely to eat shrimp than plecos, but i don't know.

Interesting. Also do you know any fish that can coexist with the Plecos? Somethi g that can handle high temps and current.....

Cool, and I know this is off topic lol but is there any fish that can coexist with shrimp breeding colonies without eating them.

Danionella spp., & pygmy livebearer, maybe? grass carp (filter feeder LOL), anything uninterested in small prey e.g., a gulper catfish.

Not sure on scarlet badis, and i'd guess the zebra pleco's would be fine; but i've heard clown killies despite their small size will take even adult shrimp, but i haven't put this to the test!

Oh, and my zebra plecos won't eat anything. I feed algae wafers to my BN but my zebras show no interest :[

What should I do?
