If you want any Mollies arriba (or anyone else for that matter) I've got a load I want to get rid of. The fuckers keep having babies and my tank's getting a bit too full.

Goldfish can only remember the last 15 seconds.

Not true. They know when I tap on the side of the butt, it's lunch time. Trained goldfish

We had some Chinese Algae Eaters, but one got a bit vicious and stopped the other from feeding properly. It also sucked the scales off some of the other fish.

they get massive, get some otto's (otocinclus) and you're golden. and imagine they're all called ricky

I've got a Leopard Cory which does an equally good job.

They're good in there. I also use Maidenhead Aquatics.

Made the mistake of buying some fish from Pets At Home before and they were dead within weeks. I only go in there for accessories now as they're generally cheaper than other places.

Genuine question, what enjoyment is there to get out of keeping fish. Not having a dig, I know sod all about what it consists other than the contents of this thread, but it does seem a lot of work for little reward.

Fish tanks look pretty cool, if they made a self-cleaning one which didn't make a noise then I would get one for my bedroom maybe.

Cory's are bottom filtering fish though aren't they? do you mean a pleco?

No, it is a Cory. I got it to keep the substrate nice and clean.
