Re: [Aroid-l] Growing Aroids in Planted Ripariums

From: "Marek Argent" <abri1973 at wp.pl> on 2009.10.04 at 00:46:27(20148) Hello Devin, If you have Puntius (Barbus) tetrazona, thow them away. They are worse than piranhas. They chase other fishes and bite their pinnae, especially the species with long pinnae like the black tetra (Gymnocorymbus ternetzi). In a local pet shop they had G. ternetzi and P. tetrazona in one aquarium and all the tetras had damaged pinnae and they were close to death. I told them what's the reason and now they have Puntius tetrazona in a separate aquarium, sometimes with other Puntius species like P. titteya or P. conchonius, and tetras are healthy. +More Best, Marek ----- Original Message ----- From: "Devin Biggs" To: Sent: Saturday, October 03, 2009 7:00 AM Subject: [Aroid-l] Growing Aroids in Planted Ripariums > Susan, > > There are quite a few fish in there.
