Golden wonder killi fish

[wishuponafish]

Man I wish my golden wonders were like you guys', I have 4 of them and they're too lazy to even eat molly fry that are more than a week old so my tank continues to get overrun...

I had some Aphyosemion australe a while ago, learned my lesson with them. Lol

I have alien betta proofed enough tanks that I was prepared after an impulse buy of two yesterday, lol, at least quarantine-wise in a ten, but I am retrofitting a 29 now (and thinking will they be happier in a group, and debating with myself how many).
PS I just found ants carrying eggs and fed them from my finger and I've made a new best friend omg they are so cute in the face! That and the live daphnea for breakfast

Just an update on the killies:

Learn from my mistake. My molly left the killies alone but the tetras did not. Both were murdered. I watched one happen about two months ago, watched the tetra clamp down on the head and that was it. I found the other one decapitated a few days ago when I turned the tank light on in the morning.

Given, I had 2-2.5 inch juvies, not adults. But I will not be keeping them with bigger tetras again.

Yes, they are not good at protecting themselves from bottom attacks, which a tetra could pull off quite well by attacking head from underneath. I'm sorry to hear about your fish, that's a hard lesson to learn. Tetras are just too fast for a little baby killi.

I have some diamond tetras which are getting quite big, almost the size of some platies. They don't seem to bother the killies. The only other fish which does is the Bolivian ram who will chase them away from food near the bottom (the killies will go down there to see what other fish are eating).

The Golden Wonders dont bother anyone. The male has started chasing the female away when I approach the tank which is weird (think it's feeding time I guess).
