Nah, as I said I will never meet another fish like him. I now have harlequin rasboras, Hourglass, Red, Hairball, Skipper, Rosy, Ed, and Nick. Also 2 kuhli loaches, Slinker and Jaws. Plus this Sunday getting 6 glowlight tetras. In addition I am not planning a community tank with a betta after what Killer did!

Did he attack another fish? That sounds familiar! I had to separate my betta from the platies I got to keep him company. Bettas are so vicious! Though they seem to like people. My betta's very friendly to everyone except other fish.

My favorite by far are naturally-colored angels, but I'm putting off keeping them until I can pick up a 125g. I have turquoise rainbows in my planted 90g, and it's great to watch them flash their colors and chase each other around.

Yeah, took down three ottos. I hated what he did but I could never be mad at him. He was the same way, so sweet, I swear every time I passed the tank he came up to the surface.

Oh, that's terrible... Sorry about your ottos, though Killer sounds like he was cute anyway. Bettas are really personable!

Yeah he was a monster in my tank but a cute little fish to me. I had to divide him from the rest of the tank.

My all time favorit is Tiger Barb, but my current favorite is Kribensis (Pelvicachromis pulcher. I have bought a young pair raised them for some time and moved them in a 10 gallons tank, in which they produced about 30 young.

My black kuhli loaches are the best! They are funny, and tame. They don't hide as much any more and happily rest on my hand and snack on a shrimp pellet that I'm holding! There like little eels... With whiskers! My favorite fish. (got 3 of them)

Well I have been on this Native kick for some time now and currently I have a colony of Least Killifish, some Mosquito fish, a few wild caught sailfins, a juvi Blue gill, and 3 swamp???? Darters. Right now I would say its a toss up between the Blue gill and the Darters. The Blue gill follows me around the tank and is one of the first to eat always and the Darters are like little puppies every time I walk near the tank they start swimming up and doing circles like they are begging.

Now I added Pelvicachromis pulcher to my favorite fish list. I keep a pair alone in a 10 gallons tank. They have a coconut shell and a few plants, groing well. They eat grindals and flakes and already produce a bunch of young. Look like a happy family.

i agree!! they are pretty cool! these are one of my favorite fish in the tank. the other one that i like is my flame gourami! i can guide him with my finger to the other side of the tank away form the other fish and when i feed him myself. i hold the flakes in my hand and he shoots water out and drops the flakes and eats them. he sometime jumps to get the food. it also seem slike he like me to tough his head like a little puppy. i really like kuhli loaches and my flame gourami!!!

My Tiger Barbs! I can watch them dart around my tank for ever! Also My Oscar. When the Tiger barbs are getting out of hand my Oscar comes out and tells them who's boss of this tank and they eventually calm down xD.

I love my guppies, and I especially love Skye. He's a real pale blue, with two blue & two orange spots. His tail is a double swordtail. He's quite beautiful. I also love my pleco. His eyes are so pretty.
