I've so far experienced the bad luck already but currently have 4 living tetras right now and waiting to get more to fill it up. Lost all but one of the fist bunch of fish. Just curious about why to get rid of them.

[@paulanthonynelson2733]

My favorites are the Clown Loach, the Texan, and the Firemouth. The problem with Neon Tetras is they are so small that when one dissapears, its hard to find. Right now I have one missing, and I suspect my Texan ate it

Black mollies are really cool

[@amandawitherspoon5225]

A while back I bought 10 baby feeder guppies because I couldn't stand the thought of babies being eaten alive. I didn't know how fast guppies have babies. I started out with a 10 gallon and I have them in a 32 gallon now. There are probably 50 now. I started calling the mamas pez dispensers and the babies are pez. They never stop having babies. I got my sister to set up a tank and I gave her some of them. She is taking all of the males so that the numbers will eventually stabilize. But I am happy that I saved their lives and nothing got to eat any of them.

@@ericplunder2744 Yep. I knew they would get bigger than people think but failed to look into just how big they could actually get. (I'm not exactly a pro lol) I had them in a 29 gallon & before I knew it they were the size of my hand. So, knowing they'd soon start to die because of the lack of space & having nowhere to keep a larger tank, I donated them to someone with a huge pond. We've had a problem in my area of people dumping the poor fellas into the local lakes & streams, it hit my newsfeed & that's how I found out how big they get.

Can you do a video about flower horn fish

[@drea4195]

The whole Flowerhorn thing reminds me of a similar phenomenon that happened in the 1800s when Victorians decided to breed dogs for exaggerated features: pugs, bulldogs, etc. Those breeds were distorted and ruined, they developed health issues, shortened lifespans, and congenital defects in the service of humans competing for the most "extreme" pet body styles and features. It's a terrible thing to do to mammals and I can't imagine it helps the fish either. Sorry about my mini rant, but I wish this would be discussed more.

[@donnie8.12]

Yes you are right. A 100 lb aquarium with 1000 guppies in it would look amazing, but only after I add a few aggressive monster cichlids in with them. 😂
