06-02-2007 19:05 by saz	Your choice jonie but my choice would be oddballs
06-02-2007 19:16 by Red hook	is that cos sheffield is full of oddballs sazzy are are you refering to peedys lol
06-02-2007 20:03 by Bogwoodbruce	I don't think that your tank would be big enough fou for some odballs, yiu'd probably get away with malawis.
06-02-2007 20:15 by telboy	i agree with bogsta to a certain point but "oddballs" arent necessarilly tank busters,jonie was asking about those tiny fish that swim up ya penis the other week,id say that was an oddball! if indeed it didnt leave ya with a pair of oddballs
07-02-2007 08:57 by PaddyD	What do you mean by oddballs? Leaffish/puffers/driftwood catfish/riverine cichlids/predatory characins etc - it’s a big groups containing hundreds of fish with different requirements. The problem with malawis is that they are easy if you : A) Stick to more peaceful species. (your Rio is not long enough for more aggressive species) B) Overstock C) Only keep the same type of fish and do not mix in other cichlids from america etc. They can of course be mixed, but if you want to garentee success - do it by the book, and they are quite simple. So: can you get an external filter as well, Do you have access to a good range of species and ideally a knowledgeable seller. Can you afford malawis - you need quite a few at one time and they are not cheap - you cannot just add one at a time. Will you be happy not trying other species that are not compatible.
07-02-2007 16:11 by darren	paddy, got an ex700 tetratec on there atm live near telfords aqua blue zaure im ok to spend £30 per firtnight or so on nice,quality fish alwell i would be fine aslong as he fish are fine i would prefer puffers/driftwoods and archers and such(brakish probably would be my ideal as i like many brakish species) thanks thanks everyone else for you help
07-02-2007 16:12 by jonie	sorry, did a boggy n didnt log out the dad
07-02-2007 16:17 by PaddyD	Go for malawis then! - When I had them, getting a good range was difficult, it got very dull not being able to find anything a bit unusual in the shops
07-02-2007 16:39 by paul stevens	Go for the oddballs jonie...
07-02-2007 17:45 by jonie	right, just found out aqua blue zaire is in durham
07-02-2007 17:47 by jonie	thinking more on the oddball now but ANY IDEAS on a good stocking baring in mind i have a fry tank now so if i could breed an oddball i would say yes,but cant think of anthing at the mo
08-02-2007 09:37 by Alan	not really what I would call an oddball but you could breed a small driftwood cat called tatia perugiae stunning little fish. There would difinetely be a market for the young as well.
