yeh I know thats why he's eating them, doesnt stop you thinking little s*** but I also think he's great! I knew when I took him on that it could be a problem, originally the hope was he was going to go into the 6ft tank where I worked when he got bigger, but as I dont work there now, he will need a different home. He should be fine with the parrots and kissers. Its just the rainbows that might be at risk now. He is leaving the Cuckoo Cats alone which I am really glad of cos I really like them

Angels are fine with smaller fish, but you need to buy them when they are babies. For best results, fully stock your tank then get your angels. I had five in my old tank, but bought them when they were tiny.

For the first week or so they chased everyone but then that settled. Now they only things they chase is each other. Its better to have more as this spreads out the aggression. They will generally only nibble each other as they are very territorial.

As for your cat fish, I noticed you were saying he only comes out at night. I bought some red led spot lights from my LFS for around £7 each. I have them positioned throughout the tank and I turn them on at night.

It makes the tank look superb and the fish cant see it. Also, they can no longer see you so you get to see the tank in a completly different way.

If you have never tried this I would recomend it. A worthwhile investment :-)

I have the ario with the red light, and the blue light one(used to have the tank in my room and it looked like moonlight, really smart when its really dark). Having worked in a fish place up until about 4 months ago, I've seen all the gadgets and tricks

I know about the angels also, I was the one giving advice They hadn't actually tried to chase anyone - unfortunately I have lost one(the more expensive one from the other place, not maidenhead, they are all still alive even the rosys after being attacked!)

The catfish will come out at feeding time to grab the tons of catfish pellets I'm having to put in their for him and the cuckoo's and plec(with algae wafers!) The parrots like to eat the catfish food to!

My mum was just panicking because my fish were fighting(shes in the room where they are) I just said "yeh thats what parrots do, they'll sort it out!" they have 5 mins of tag and then settle down!

Oh, ok :-) i might have mis read your original post, i was working nights and was a little tired lol!

Goldfish have a memory span of several months and are perfectly capable of recognizing a human that feeds them. I have seen many goldfish beg at the front of tanks for food, same as other fish. They can even be trained to perform tricks.

Goldfish have been kept as pets for hundreds and hundreds of years, and were the first truly domesticated pet fish, so this gives them their iconic status.
