anchar Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Hi timberland and Tam, They grow to 30+ inches. Native to the Congo - also found in Lake Tanganyika. Common names are Six-barred Distichodus, Short-nosed Clown Tetra and Tanganyikan Distichodus (Distichodus tanganicae = Distichodus sexfasciatus). You could try sooty as I was happy with the one I purchased from him a while back. Price was very competitive too merjo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anchar Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 Mine eats whatever goes in the tank too. It schools with the clown loaches! merjo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanz11 Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 ya mine kinda eat anything as well. I do give em lettice a lot and some pallets etc. No mine don't swim together. the big one chases the lil two around the place and seems to be annoyed by the other 2. must be a big bully syndrome or something. Most of the time they just hide and eat and craP. They are fairly peacefull fish i was told and they apparently grow up to 3 feet long. They seem to be growing fairly slow at this point in time...
