Did the pet shop guy forget to mention that angel fish tend to be aggressive?

I had a fish like this. We never saw him eat the other fish, but one day we would come in and see that several of them were missing.

Yes, my understanding is they do reproduce quickly. A mat of seaweed at the top of the tank for the babes to hide in, Guppies eat their own young.

Jason will love this fish tank!

VistaBill: love your avatar… I miss Marty Feldman… favorite role ever was Igor in Young Frankenstein… :)

Swim away!

Anyone remember a story called “Gallons of Guppies” in one of your elementary school readers?

Noooooooo!!!! Not the fishies!

I used to have a 45 gallon aquarium that was my own little rock concert. I have a very strong musical background so when we named all the fish, they naturally were named after musicians.

My angel fish was “Al” (Al Stewart) because he was kinda laid back… Just kinda swam around doing his own thing…

The fresh-water shark was “Buffett”, pretty much a no-brainer in the naming dept there…

The two sucker fish (I forget what they’re actually called) were “Axel” and “Slash” (because G&R sucks).

There was some cool little eel kinda fish that hung out in the toy Bronco that we called “Nuge” (Ted Nugent has a couple of Broncos).

I had 30 some-odd blue neons, which because of their swimming habits, were “Groupies”.

And finally, the Pirate bubbler on the bottom was “Don” (Don Kirshner). Who else could hold a rock concert like this?! LOL

That’s awesome PiratePTG! :)

Mother Nature has a plan!

Angel fish are some of the most beautiful fish in the pet store, but they can only be put in a tank with other angel fish because they can be aggressive.

Tanya,

Dr. Frankenstein to Igor: Wasn’t your hump on the other side?

Igor to Dr. Frakenstein: Hump?? What hump??

At least Paige didn’t get a piranha.

guppies breed like crazy - 25 cents at my local pet store for feeder guppies

I has a neon that killed everything else in the tank, including the cleaner shark and a big beta!
