Help with fish ID

[Fishman1995]

There is a fish ive seen up at the top of this site. Its a clearish watery looking color with some gold on it with long flowing fins. I think its really cool and id like to look into it but idk what its name is

The images are different every time you refresh the page. If you see it again, printscreen it and attach it to the thread otherwise we could be looking for hours.

I seached All freshwater fish species on google and found it was the Congo Tetra

 

[misterking]

Congo tetras are awesome. Grow quite large though, I wouldn't reccommend a shoal for anything below 55 gallons.

 

[Fishman1995]

lol that makes me want a 55 gallon tank

 

[misterking]

Yet more plans?

On 07/10 you mention having kept a betta sorority in a 35gallon tank for 5 years. What happened to the tank? Did it belong to someone else?

 

[misterking]

Which thread? You sure that wasn't someone else?

 

[Thyra]

Not you MK, Fishman. Page 6 of General Discussion the thread Confusion, bottom first page.

 

[misterking]

Just found the thread you were talking about, and I see what you mean. Certainly begs the question Fishman? What happened to the 35 gallon?

You were posting a thread just a few days ago asking for advice on a sorority.. Surely someone who kept one successfully for 5 years (btw, bettas don't tend to live that long. They're fairly short lived) wouldn't need to ask?

I don't want to speculate or argue especially since it was a month ago but still..

 

[Fishman1995]

I found the discussion, i meant to say my moms friend i feel like a lier now

 

[misterking]

No don't feel like a liar. Just one thing that didn't add up, don't worry

 

[Fishman1995]

im sorry for the missunderstanding, and no lol no more plans. i wanted 1 big tank before college. after colleghe is when the fun will begin

 

[misterking]

That's very much the same for me, as soon as I finish my degree and I'm living in one place for more than a few months I'll be getting straight back into fishkeeping, no question about it! The "break" that I planned on having for a few months has lasted years now and I'm actually selling off a few of my tanks. Does mean I'll be able to get exactly what I want after uni though

Out of interest, how old are you? I'm guessing 14/15 from the 1995 in your name? Forgive me if I'm wrong!

 

[Fishman1995]

Yep im 15, im getting a bachelor degree, so il be getting a 'break' as you have and its gonna suck. But after i graduate and get enough money im getting a 1000 gallon tank

 

[misterking]

1000 gallons?! I mean I've got big dreams but wow!

That's 10 100 gallon tanks put together! Almost impossible for the average home aquarium. The weight of water alone would be immense, not to mention the huge costs running efficient filtration, heating and lighting systems would cause. You'd have to be saving for decades to afford that..

 

[Fishman1995]

i know, which is why im goin for a good job

 

[Fishman1995]

ok maybe i went to drastic lmao, but i want the biggest tank i can have

 

[Thyra]

Okay - one thing I have learned - you have to live in the NOW, because you never know what is around the corner. If what you have is the 10 gallon tank, make the most of it because none of us know what we will have in the future.

 

[Fishman1995]

i agree Thyra, but this 29 gallon is gonna happen, its my christmas present.
