since I am always asking things I thought I would add something.
I have noticed some people on here are setting up new tanks or are stopping by and are new at keeping fish, a few anyway, and have had questions about certain fish fitting in tanks when full grown, along with some other things, I always check Elmer's web page they have a list of fish with the size they grow out to, along with some other info, but if you want to know if a fish will fit later on its a good web page for that, I don't know if Elmer's is worldwide but I have one in pgh, pa http://www.elmersaquarium.com/nav/freshwater/index.html anyway here it is if anyone is getting new fish and wants to know size, temp ect. Nik Ps: I thought about it because it been brought up (fish size) also back when I got my first 2 Black Pacu's, and a few Oscar's about 15 years ago, The store did not mention how big they would get or how long they would live, as a matter a fact they gave me the info for a red belly, but they were wrong and I think that happens a lot, I found out, not long after while at the zoo, I seen one and showed my husband he talked to the people at the zoo and got the correct info on them, which was our own fault for not being informed about what we were getting and depending on a teenager at a store. We had those two for many years..... but had to get much bigger tanks then we first thought, and I know a few stores now that don't sell them (which I think is a good idea), I know people also who get them and want to get rid of them when they get to big, or throw them in our river which is not such a good idea at all. |
