Mated pair of convicts, the female died and the male commited suicide the day i removed the deceased female.
A percula clownfish that thought a marine betta/comet was an anemone...he used to rub all over it and the betta would sorta curl his tail around him lol.
M dwarf pike when i play vid he comes out and just watchs me all the fime and some times i will ywan and he will to and i still have him =]
I read something in TFH about 2 Peacock Bass, one being blind and less than half the size of the other ne. Rather than eating or beating up the little one, the bigger one leads it around the tank for food.
I have a pair of convicts that are sooooo in love they dance all day and when she leaves the fry he pushes her back over to them. They are so funny to watch but i swear i dunno what to do with all these babies they keep havin.
one of my lfs had 2 florida gars of about 6-7 inches. they were the last 2 and had been in the tank for awhile. i purchased one about 3 months ago and broke up the duo. i went back yesterday and purchased the 2nd gar. no one had purchased it for the past 3 months. i guess no one likes gars in wichita. when i placed the new gar in the tank, my other gar immediately swam up to him as if he was greeting him. they did some little gar wobble swim dance and seemed to hang out for about 30 minutes. it was almost as if they recognized one another and were getting re-aquainted. i really doubt that they recognized one another after almost a 3-month seperation, but i like to tell myslef that i've reunited 2 love birds. for all i know, they might be both males or females . . . i can't sex gars.
I got my first pair of oscars, a tiger and a red, several years ago. Raised both of them from less than an inch to adult size. One night, the tiger bailed from the tank (it managed to knock the glass lid open) and I found it in the morning, barely alive. I put it back in the tank and hoped for the best, but it had been out of the water for far too long. It just sat on the bottom of the tank in a corner, breathing more and more slowly, while the red oscar stayed right next to it. After the tiger oscar finally passed on, I had a hell of a time trying to remove it from the tank with the red oscar attacking and latching onto my fingers/hands (it NEVER showed any aggression until then). Sadly, the red oscar stopped eating after the incident. I tried everything I could think of, but it gradually wasted away over a period of weeks. Poor fishie died of depression over the loss of his lifelong friend. First time I ever cried over a fish
