Whats your Favorite???

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Go with a Jack Dempsey, man. They're not extremely needy and they're really beautiful...but yeah like Fledermaus said they're shy but there are things you can do about that.

Jacks all the way...or oscars because they rock. And if I had the space I'd be tempted to get a jag.

good luck!
 
MIDAS?RED DEVIL......I purchased my at 3in in January of this year.....He's now pushing7.5in....All this growth in a small, 30g tall....I do 3-4, 30-40% water changes every week...My MONSTER is VERY responsive....Everyone who passes through my fish room has ask to pet his head, and they do....No fear at all....When my forearm is in the tank, he comes up to it and does this territiorial side dance thing, which allows me to gently rub the side of his body with my hand....I think he enjoys it:D :D ....A defianate showcase piece he is....The tank is due for a final upgrade by the end of summer....My thoughts are leaning towards him owning his own 100g....

O yeah, my brother's girlfriend's 3 year old sister has officially named him, get this--"BIG HEAD".................:thumbsup:
 
I like my jag. I would definately vote for the jag out of that list. I haven't kept all of them though.

About the rbp's, I used to keep them. They seemed to be rather flighty and unactive. They would tend to hide behind decorations all day long. Feeding time was another story though; they went nuts. I'm glad I kept them, but I dont think I would ever keep them again. There are much better fish out there for the size tank that you would need for them. And about your friend's p's, I would guess that they all ate eachother because they were either underfed or overcrowded.

Best of luck with your decision.
 
I like Nandopsis haitiensis AKA black nasty. They are a very cool fish IMO and have a very bad attitude. Ever since I saw a 16in male in person I have wanted one ever since, but have never had a spare tank big enough to dedicate to them.

you really should say what size tank you plan to use. if its big enough i would recomend a Dovii, but if its more like a 50 i would go with a GT.
