@kitfisto1827 3 года назад

Fully recommend African Butterflyfish. Go well with just about anything that isnt a fin nipper. Will eat anything that floats. Never predatory. Have at least one corner will low flow and plant cover. Fascinating fish to watch feed. Very hardy, never had one get sick or die prematurely ( except for jumping out of the tank once).

@NebulaGuy2 4 года назад

I love these videos. I really wish you showed a picture of the orange hatchet danio. I never have seen those. Never even heard of the halfbeaks. Super cool!

@butkusfan23 4 года назад

I had a golden wonder killi in my 29 gallon heavily planted community tank. He showed a lot of green, with red trimming the edges of his fins. Beautiful fish. I had a few half grown guppies in there, and as I fed the tank one day, he waited a few inches below the surface as a couple of guppies came to get food. As they swam over his head, he came out of the plants and grabbed a guppy faster than I could blink. He absolutely timed his predatory strike perfectly. He knew what would happen. I was impressed by his patience and planning. Half the guppy stuck out of the end of his mouth. The guppy was only half grown, or the killi could not have grabbed him. I was sad for the guppy, but impressed by the killifish.

@cosmoplakat9549 2 года назад

I just saw African butterfly fish in person for the first time the other day at petco. They look AMAZING!! I never realized how big they are - seemed like they were 4" and take up a lot of room with their interesting finnage.

@abethepunk 4 года назад

I bought a pair of yellow wonder killies, I thought oh yeah I've had these before! My current tank was a peaceful community, they claimed the top as theirs. Not only did my endlers start to disappear, but I'm convinced that the larger one spooked my betta right out of the filter hole in the lid. Very cool little fish, it was neat to dangle blood worms above the water for them to catch. Just be careful who you house them with.

@lindsayvara7430 9 дней назад

My son had a pair of golden wonder killifish and they are so cool. The smaller one jumped out three times through the little food trap door (we usually put something on top of it but my son kept forgetting) and it survived on the ground twice for who knows how long but the third time the dog got it.😫 The other one has gotten so big I call him baby gar. He’s a little beast. A great pick for a kid’s first tank.

@thechosenwon4089 3 года назад

Sadly that small hole your talking about my first golden wonder went flying. Found him in the morning sitting right below the tiny feeding hole in my lid that I really thought there was no way he was going to make it through. After a few years of experience with them they are really my favorite fish to keep in my smaller tanks. They have the mind and heart of snake heads with the body of a molly haha

@lurklingX Месяц назад

i have that bright green kilifish and i LOOOOVE him. he's so fekking cool. the mouth orientation and size is so unique as is the way he goes about eating. big ole trap door. they are skittish but mine calmed down after moving reeeeeeeally slow all the time and letting him SEE that it was my hand dropping food in. i would hold it like a crane, let a tiny bit drop (or else he'd run) and then more. also, having stuff on the surface like the katapa leaves and floating plants and stuff. lets them feel secure. 1000% recommend. got mine at petco. they are a lot more expensive at LFS. only saw them once and the petco ones (it was my first time seeing them) were more colored up and better shape. could be that they were older, also, hence the colors being brighter. i picked one that was kinda chill and wasn't the bully.

@johnjohnsten4158 4 года назад

I used to have a bunch of fish years ago. I also liked growing water plants. For a floating plant I could recommend hornwart. It likes a little but like under water pine and it's fast growing. Live plants have the advantage that they absorb nitrates so that nitrate does not build so badly. I've had pencil fish and a group of them looks quite nice. I never had halfbeaks but wanted to try them.

@drkingslend Год назад

Very true with Congos taking the food before butterflyfish get a chance, u have to distract the Congos with food on one end, feed the butterflyfish at the other end

@pardeepgill688 4 года назад

Great Choices. African Butterfllys love pupae from mealworms, as they wriggle enough to entice them. As well as crickets. Halfbeaks mine Devoured shredded cooked chicken breasts and would charge at it with speed. was a really good way to bulk up the females for breeding,. And yes their fry are minute and hard to spot.

@MichaelClark-uw7ex 4 года назад

Bloodfin Tetras, I have a school of 10, they tend to school in the upper half of the tank, love to chase each other through tall plants. Not aggressive, I have them with my Angels. Very tolerant of water parameters but they do best in an Amazonian type tank, fairly soft water, 6.2-7.5 pH, 76-82F, planted with tall or floating plants with something sticking down that they can swim around and through. Not picky about food, they eat just about anything. Mine are in an open top tank, I have heard they can jump but I haven't seen it.
