What is your favourite tropical fish breed

Guppies should probably breed like crazy and overrun your whole tank, so I'm surprised at that I guess. Have you checked the temperature? Is something else having them for lunch? As far as the shark goes, check to make sure how big they grow. Some of the fish that you buy at the pet stores can get quite large. I had some kind of a shark before, but I can't remember the name of it.. it did get big.

In regards to goldfish I prefer the neons, since they are small, inexpensive, colourful, and very hardy. I found them a lot easy to maintain as long as there is enough oxygen remaining in the water. During winter, goldfish will become sluggish, stop eating, and often stay on the bottom of the tank. This is completely normal; they will become active again in the spring. A filter is important to clear waste and keep the pond clean. Plants are essential as they act as part of the filtration system, as well as a food source for the fish. Plants are furthermore beneficial since they raise oxygen levels in the water. I have never had Silver shark but I hope that they are just as easy to maintain. Goldfish pond

I've always wanted a shark as well, but have never really had any other fish that they would be compatible with. I'm also a sucker for tetras. I just love how tiny and pretty there colours are. I had guppies once for less than twenty-four hours. I was relatively new to keeping tropical fish, and for the first (and oddly last time) at my favourite aquarium I wasn't bombarded with 100 questions about the other fish I was planning to put them with. Needless to say I had barbs, who had a nice dinner that day/night. I'm pretty happy with what I have at the moment and for the past couple of years now. Have definetly been easy to maintain and keep which is definetly an added bonus for me. I've got one tank set up with Barbs, who I absolutely adore. I think as long as I keep tropical fish, I'll probably have barbs. My other tank is set up with 2 Angels and 2 loaches. I've had the loaches for more than two years now, and the angels would definetly be approaching two years by now as well. They had some neon friends at one stage, but I don't seem to have the best of luck with them. If my memory serves me correct I don't believe sharks and most tetras go very well together, so you may want to have a bit of a look into that.

My favourite breeds are Bettas (Fighting Fish) and corydoras. I currently own one Pink Male Betta and three Albino Croy's. They are all great to watch, especially the Betta when he flares for a mirror!

guppies are my ultimate favorites...yeah I have experienced the same thing with the mortality rates except when I have fry being born in my fish tank...I think it's only the store bought ones because of them having to be delivered over long distances and the stress they experience.

The silver sharks are actually salt water cat fish and do not do well in pure fresh water. Under good condition they can get to be 6 or 8 inches long.
