Where are the eyes on that thing? The post also brings back fond memories for me. No community aquaria, though. My son used to keep and breed Siamese fighters and one of them, Razor, became the neighbourhood champion and a fixture on our kitchen counter. That fish oozed personality and good looks. Sorry to say, my son left him in my care while he went on vacation and there was an unfortunate accident... That black ranchu is some fish! Where are the eyes on that thing?

I like the diversity and energy of them. In our outside koi pond, we've mixed blue and gold gourami, a school of tiger barbs, goldfish and some parrot cichlids in with the koi. They all get on ... drum roll ... swimmingly! Ha ha ha. I really like community tanks. I like the diversity and energy of them.

We started out with community fish like you. My favorites were the gouramis and the tiger barbs. But then Greg talked me into bigger fish. We traded up to two Red Oscars, one Tiger Oscar and a tough little fish called a Texas Cichlid. They had loads of personality. Their favorite food were pieces of raw hamburger, but that was a rare treat because it would foul the water too quickly. We had a 55 gallon tank, but they got so big we ended up giving them back to the store where we bought them. Too much travel forced us to give our aquarium for good though. Thanks for kick starting some fond memories. Enjoy your fishies. I loved my aquarium! We started out with community fish like you. My favorites were the gouramis and the tiger barbs.
