what kind of fish would you like to put in an aquarium if ur going to have one?

Here's the family of Tetra I like. It's called a Phantom Tetra. ‹(°¿°)›

That's funny, they nibble on your fingers. Tetras are small fish. Like i said a little bigger than a goldfish. Maybe about the size of your thumb. Do you mean that the fish you are talking about are even smaller than that. Wow. ‹(°¿°)›

yah, I'm familiar with tetras. I don't like big fishes. I prefer medium sized fishes like the one I posted above. ^__^ I like some koi though, those with orange to red prints on their body. and kois are fun to feed, and when you dip your fingers to the water, they would go to you and nibble on your fingers, it tickles. ^__^;;

betta is fighting fish right? their fins are gorgeous also! its very long and its nice to look at. but you can only put one in one aquarium since it bullies other fish and fights with them. ^__^;; I'd like an aquarium with lots of different fishes, colorful fishes. that ould be really grand. ^__^

yes they are fighting fish. you cannot have 2 males in the same tank without them killing each other. very territorial among their own species. and even though they are "fighting fish" they should not be in a tank with aggressive fish..their fins become easy targets and are rather delicate. so they will end up appearing shredded looking..which just isnt pretty lol.

I also like Betta's, I knew a woman who had a pet store and she sold them. They come in all kinds of colors and have beautiful fins like the goldfish. So if I were to have an aquarium would have a few beta's. I really don't know about them being a fighting fish though.

if you're putting up a sort of high-tech aquarium like with filters and all that, it would lessen the work. like you only have to change the water at least twice a month. and then feeding is as easy as putting fish feeds once a day. ^__^

o-oh! its illegal to have piranha! and its scary! it bites people! ^.^;;

well actually, I too had heard that it is illegal to have a piranha, though I have seen some at an aquarium holding a special license for it. And ya, it does bite and is scary-but i guess that makes it special, as something so small may be more dangerous than a shark or a whale. Cheers

I didn't know there are special licenses for piranha. here in our country they arrest people who has piranha inside their homes. you could still lose a finger by a piranha even if its small. ^.^;;

i think puffer fish is not safe to be placed in an aquarium. they are quite poisonous! but there are natives here who eat puffer fish and they said they just have to be careful in cleaning, gutting and preparing the fish to remove the toxins. even so, i wouldnt dare eat something like that! ^.^

yep. not all fish get along together well. for instance, a flower horn fights any fish that it comes in contact with inside its aquarium. that's why a flower horn is always alone. just recently (we have a flower horn here at the office) it tried to bite me when i put my fingers on the water! ^.^ even inside an aquarium it tries to bite anyone who get nears it, i dont know if it hurts itself if it bumps on the glass. fighting fish is also a solitary fish meaning it cant be join with other fish. no piranhas too for me! ~.~

I'm not sure if I know orange fish, white fish and back fish. but they must be pretty also like goldfish. ^__^

angel fish is really pretty. but I think its too sensitive. its difficult to take care of them. ^__^

what kind of goldfish? do you have a aquarium right now?

goldfish are really popular... ^__^
