I kept clouded archers for a bit, fully freshwater, with rainbows, empire gudgeons, panda garras, two spot catfish, some siamese algae eaters, and Dennison's barbs. They never ever bothered any other fish, even the smallest of the panda garras, and they were suuuuuper easy to feed floating pellets. I will say that rainbows aren't the best companion for them, not because of aggression or stress, but because the archers will eat larger pellets that the rainbows can choke and die from. Ask me how I know...
Yahoo! A Wet Spot video!! Chelsea, I like so many of the same fish you do 😁 I love Leporinus! I have never kept them as I can't provide the footprint I think they need. My largest tank is a 75 gal. We don't energy need to talk about how much I loved the Puffers that were shown 😍
@8:10
I kept a pair of Archers for a stretch. One died, and the other one became very skittish once it was alone. Water changes were extremely stressful on it, as it would jump, flail and run into the side of the tank!
I eventually had to rehome it to a place with others of its own kind.
I recommend groups, as this offers much comfort to individual fish.
3:20 if you have a guppy colony like i did they are great as a method to cull, for pufferfish o my favorite i have own was a dragon puffer(humpback)
Snuffers was a fire eel (Mastacembelus erythrotaenia), and was one of the favorite parts of my job when I was there. He was pretty blind towards the end, so we just made sure to feed him his cocktail shramps in the same spot so he could find them. What a sweet little puppyfish.
Against multiple sources of advice, I've got both the ghost knife and the fire eel, and both are housed in a 4ft x 2ft (different tanks) footprint. I know they get big, but neither species really swims around much, so I'm not guilt ridden over not giving them a 6ft or more footprint. If I need to upgrade later, I'll adjust as necessary.
Hope they do well!
@@garg4531 Me too, but I can always rehome them if necessary. I just hope it won't be necessary.
Well yeah they barely move around so idk why anyone would kick a stink up about it
Eels move quite a bit . I had a fire eel and a ghostie on a long 270 ltr tank , for about 7 years. Then they did struggle to turn a bit so I sold them to someone with 1000ltr . Sad to see them go . If I ever get another one I will wait until I have my own 1000ltr
@snikerdoodlefox3979 Mine do not. They just hide in the rock until feeding time. Heck, more than half the time, even at feeding time, the ghost knife stays hidden. In fact, I've gone months without seeing it at all. With the eel eventually going into a 150 gallon (568 liters) and the ghost knife going into a 120 gallon (454 liter), that gives me time to figure it out. But, like I said, if the time comes when I think their quality of life is suffering and I can't improve it personally, I will find them better homes.
Love ghost knifes, I had a few when I first got into the hobby back in the day.
I remember seeing them at my Petsmart as a kid and thinking they were just so cool!
Glad k didn’t get them tho 😅 But I drew pictures of them!
Definitely one of my favorite fish
3:18 i feel bad for him, he just sits there in the corner for the entire clip
They are ambush predators, this is what they do in the wild. Sit and wait
I'm really happy with my order from the wet spot. Thanks for sharing 😊
Cameron my GOAT
Your shirt is awesome lol
Thank you! Straight outta 1983, they just don’t make ‘em like they used to.
I never knew fish could be so hateful lol. Sooo cooool
Be Careful with the butterfly fish they can jump 36inches vertically with no run up
I have African butterfly fish mine only eat crickets but that's my fault I love to see them Hunt
They are beautiful
What would be the tank size if you wanted to keep a BGK till it hopefully reached full size? I know they normally dont make it to be that large and can live in a 125 for years, but what would a 20+ inch one need?
In my opinion they really need at least a 200 gallon, closer to 300+. You’ll read some mixed thoughts, but given their potential size and assuming they actually max out, that’s what I’d do for them. They’ll be mostly dormant and hidden during the day, but will happily use all the real estate of a 200-300 gallon at night.
in that fireeel tank is a leech leeching around in the forground lol
