Ok so, two stories in one post. I went to petco to look for an Elephant Nose fish (the main reason I set up a tank to begin with). Of course, my girlfriend likes the really colorful glofish so I decided we could get some danios too. Anyway, long story short they didn't have an ENF this time. My fault for not buying the one I saw when I first set up my tank, but then again it hadn't been cycled yet. So I bought three zebra danio and my girlfriend picked out a yellow glofish danio. I have to say, although I'm not a BIG fan of glofish, the little yellow one was adorable. Unfortunately I have one of those aquaclear filters that hangs on the back of the tank. This morning I woke up and the tiny yellow danio was stuck to the clear pipe that suctions water into the filter. I want to get another yellow one, but how do I keep it form getting sucked in there? The other zebra danios are fine, they are a bit bigger and seem to be able to swim around the filter without getting sucked up.
Now, in another tank there were three tiny catfish. I assume they are catfish because of the whiskers. They had white/silvery bodies and black stripes running down the length of their bodies. They sort of reminded me of "sharks" like an iridescent shark, but they weren't ID sharks. They were in the tank with some Mollies and they seemed to be swimming in place. I asked the fish guy what they were and he tried to tell me they were mollies (obviously not). There was nobody else in the fish section that night and the fish guy said he didn't know much about freshwater fish. Stupid me didn't get a picture, does anyone have ANY idea what they were?
