Fish of the Month suggestions

This is for people who want to suggest fish for the polls. The poll will be for fish that people are thinking of getting/want to learn more about. All suggestions are welcome and should be in the next poll. Just remember, the point of this is to expand the fish list on the main site http://www.fishlore.com/TropicalFishProfiles.htm, so please, if it is already there, don't try and suggest it. Thanks for all the future suggestions.

O and Rasboras those are very popular but don't have a profile.

Probably regular hatchetfish, paradise gouramis, the different danios: giant, blue and leopard.

Scissor Tailed Rasbora's and Harlequin Rasbora's are listed... it is tricky cause they are under T and H instead of R for Rasbora.

Here are some others I would like to see... Upside Down Catfish, Bolivan Rams (or just a general page on rams), Elephant Nose, and Congo Tetras (could have swore they were on there but I cant find them now...). I dont know if you guys have a crew or something but I would be willing to help research if you need any help.

More types of livebearers, like endlers, Heterandria formosa, Ameca splendens...

I just got my hands on a Siamese Algae Eater, a real one as far as I can tell. I can get a couple good pics if you want.

I'd like info on hatchetfish...they seem really cool and there's so many different types, but finding decent information on them seems to be rather difficult

I think you should do dwarf puffers because it is another fish that can thrive in >10 gal tank and people are always wanting to know what to put in their tiny tanks

I think I should have mentioned in the first post, please don't ask for the same fish someone else has suggested. It won't get it in the poll sooner. Thanks for all the suggestions so far, keep them coming.

Hi!

If you want to learn about hatchets, I can always PM you about them. And Shaina - I can help you too. Yes, finding info is hard - but I know a lot and own 8 Commons. Yeah - I also want a Hatchetfish one.

How about the Ancistrus catfish? Or possibly some African cichlids? Maybe the Congo Tetra?

I vote for the Elephantnose Fish! Cause I have one and can't find any information on them from other forum members that isn't a year old!
1st need to know: I read they don't take well to medication. But then what's safe for them? I'm useing melefix now cause he has a sore on his nose and some skin damage (they don't have scales) is that safe?
2nd need to know: Also read they like soft substrate. Well I got gravel smaller but still. Can I put sand in the tank without it being empty? and would the sand be o.k for othe 2 cory cats in there too?
Information is very hard to find on this fish, I'v spent hours reading the samethings in the internet. Arrg

Some basic info on your elephant nose:

Sand is good for corys and we've used flat glass marbles as the substrate for them as well. I believe pool filter sand would be the cheapest way to go and is aquarium safe.
