killiguy Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Thats some nice photos of a nice fish As far as fast growing fish goes this fish (an annual killifish) can grow 10 cm in 6-8 weeks making it one of the fastest growing vertebrates,but also one of the shortest lived.They spend most of their life in peatmoss in a cupboard in my fishroom :blink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodalizer Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 AUSCichlidBreeder,Cool thing about these fellas, I used to have a huge one.They can survive fairly long periods out of water due to the fact they can absorb oxygen out of the air, more so then even other pleco types. I used to take mine out of the tank to show the kids all the time, he actually loved it, used to come towards my hands.They used this ability to traverse short distances between dried up ponds or lakes, they are more capable then most of there pleco brothers at moving on land. most plecos slither on land, these fellas almost run, looks funny. Have a wet dry tank to see them in there true glory, used to love my poor old fella. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kl3ggy Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 That's an awesome looking fish. Would I be able to have one with my other tank mates. Currently I have a jack Dempsey, green Texas, green terror, Synspillum, and some BN catfish. The fish don't bother the catfish would they bother one of these?

AUSCichlidBreeder Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 Should be fine, they grow quite large so if you can find a bigger one than your current fish they shouldn't go at it.... The pleco actually owns everything else in the tank, he/she just grows so fast! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
