Caprella septentrionalis, also known as the motherfucking GHOST SHRIMP.
Nature kicks a lot of ass sometimes.
We had to take our puffer fish back to the store because it needs brackish water and our tank is fresh. However, I got to bring this little guy home instead! Ain’t he cute? This is a freshwater eel-fish, which can get up to 20 inches long. I’ve named him Unagi (suggested by missusagi) which is Japanese for “freshwater eel,” but more importantly is the name of the sea serpent from Avatar: The Last Airbender. Here’s a short video of Unagi-chan in his new home!
I was wondering if you could answer a couple of quick questions for me. I half a male halfmoon betta in a 2.5 gallon tank. I know the males can be community fish as long as they are the only betta and aggressive fish. Do you think that I could have another couple small fish in that tank with him (size wise). If so, what kind would you recommend? He just seems a little lonely. I swear this fish has manners, he's such a sweetie! Thank you for your time and help!
It is very possible to have a male betta with smaller fish. Just as long as they are not small enough to fit in his mouth, fish get the “is this edible” thought just like lets say small children. As for what kinds of fish theres a good handful of them ranging different sizes.
Guppies
cory cats
dinnos
Hatchets
loaches
teras
rasboras
mollies
catfish
plecos
- and those are the only ones that i can think of at the moment. Putting a betta in a community tank should have very little problems if none. Just makes sure theres plenty of space and hiding places for all the fish. That way if there are problems whoever is being bullied can easily get away from the bully.
I have guppies and tetras in my tank with a female who is aggressive but has no problem with fish of other breeds/species. my other two females live with a pesky little minnow two plecos and a clawed frog (the minnow was meant to be a snack for the frog…)
