April's Fish of the Month poll

So, I'm really bored, so I figured, I would start up April's poll for the article. For those that don't know what this is about, it is a poll to see what fish everybody wants to learn about and add to the selection of fish species on the main site. SabI and I write the article that goes in the magazine and we ask any members here if they have had any experience with the fish, and if we forget someone, just don't be scared to tell us you have had some with the winning fish. The poll ends on the 10th of April and the winner will be determined by the number of votes per fish. Each person gets 2 votes for the fish they want to win, but you can't vote for the same fish twice. I guess I better cut it off since I am starting to ramble on. Have fun voting. Pics will be coming soon.

Gee, I would like to learn about all of April's fish. It's so hard to choose. I want one of each! Too bad my house isn't big enough for that my tanks.

 

I voted for the zebra cichlid...because it comes in many colors and varieties.

 

I'm going with the pleco..I have a fondness for them and their usefullness

 

Remember, everyone can vote for 2 fish of their choice.
Tom

 

Can I recommend a fish for the next poll? If so I would recommend the Yellow Lab Hybrid Chichlid.

 

I voted dwarf cory and zebra cichlid. I think they are both very intriguing fish. If I had to pick one it would be the zebra, as I have never kept cichlids and I think they are neat fish and want to learn more about them.

Ya, you can suggest that. I will put it up for disgustion for the next poll, but SabI is making up the fish list for the May poll, so if you want to suck up, talk to her. lol

Interesting fish, fine with me.

 

Cool.

 

I just got a clown pleco for my 30 gallon . very attractive and inexpensive. I would love to try getting some nice pictures for you if its voted for. and to learn some more about would be cool

 

Love those little lemon tetras!

 

Dwarf cory, they're adorable! Lemon tetra would've been my second option.

 

So far the zebra cichlid is in the lead with 12 points.

You can vote twice.

I voted for the cory and the pleco, the cory, because I've been hearing so much about them lately, and the pleco because a lot of people get them not realizing how much space they need, plus they are really cute hehe.

This is a clown pleco, it is a dwarf pleco that only gets to about 4" and is fine in a tank over 20 gallons. They are cute little things though. Thanks for voting.

Hey thanks for postin the silvertips. I kind of forgot about it.
I've got plenty of info on em if you need any.

Here's a little bit better pic of a silvertip. The males have a reddish tint to their fins, not like this one. They closely resemble the gold tetras, some may easily confuse them.

 

I don't see how we could. lol
Tom

oh good,,lol.

 

I chose the clown pleco. Can one suggest a species to be on these polls? I want to the African Knife to be added!!!

Hi!

If you ever need an article on Hatchets... Look no further!

 

Well I've got one common hatchet and wanted to get some marbled hatchets yesterday but don't have enough room.

 

Hi!

Watch him. Chances are he won't live - Hatchets need schools or they're worse than Discus...

I've had one that was alone for about 6 months before it died, so I don't think they need to, but they prefer it compared to being alone.
Tom

 

Ya, Ive heard that hatchets are hard to keep because they don't like moving and even after they've settled they don't live very long. He's been alone since November and he is still extremely healthy.

 

Hi!

Hatchets are hard to keep when not in schools. He needs a school - and he ain't extremely healthy! He might look healthy - but he needs a school to be healthy really.

 

Really? He seems just fine to me.

 

Hi!

Really. Remember - when a fish looks fine it isn't always the case. He's probably terrified - "no friends, a predator could sneak up on him!" and so on... I have 8 commons and they are great. They are very active and love to chase each other around sometimes, but sometimes they all sit at different levels near each other and look very impressive next to the plants, and when it's lights out they wizz around and play; their silver scales shimmering like glitter. It's why I love them. At times they're funny and playful, at times they are grand and make the tank look splendid, at other times they're magical flashes of light in an otherwise dark aquarium.

 

Like I had said I was thinking about getting some marbles to go with him but I don't have the room.

 

Zebra cichlid still in the lead by 2!

;D Com'n vote, I know if I so much as say go! to the one I want, you guys will come and make the other ones votes go up!
