*sigh* Yes, you're right.
Okay, so I think you could have dwarf rhinos living in a tank with the fruit ONLY IF there are enough caves/hidey spots for the rhinos and all fruit. (Unless the fruit are cherries, which like to form small groups in the midlevel of the tank.) But the limes and dwarf rhinos definitely each need a spot of their own because both are very territorial.

Bust The Whales!!! Save The Snails!!!........oh. And limes! I heard somewhere that limes are semi-aggressive. I forget where, though... I also heard that peaches can get a nasty disease on their skin. Gotta watch out for that. Besides the point, I did set up a poll. You have to look for it, though...

G.
The Cherries are aggressive only to defenseless Strawberries. The real aggressor is Humulus Lupline (Hops). They will assimulate and eradicate all other life in your tank. Worst yet, the Hops will call your dog into the tank. The Dog will suffer Hop poisoning...
However,
The Hops will make great beer!

Re: Are we all weirdos?
Finally, I am not alone!! My sister-in-law, when I showed her a pic of my new L077 (Violet/Bruno) she said "Ewwwww, where did you get it, the pit of hell?!?" Hello, rude, first off, and second, she keeps fish that I find particularly hideous, (I won't name it for fear of offending, or hurting someone's feelings )but I sure as heck don't go making idiotic statements like that! I called my LFS today and tell the owner my first name, and say "do you remember me?" (cause they always do in person, but wasn't sure if they knew my actual name!) and she said, "Yeah, the Pl*co Lady!" Anyway, I can relate to this thread, and it's nice to find people that actually like to have fish they never see!spiny wrote:I have been asked all those empty tank questions a lot of times... And of course no one saw my fish because 1) they had no fancy colour, 2) they were hiding in a cave, 3) they had dug themselves down, 4) they did not move, 5) and of course if they saw it; is that fish alive (?!) and why do you only buy ugly fish?!!!?

If there are more than one Hop, there becomes a territorial dispute where only one will survive. They reproduce by ripping themselves in half. It's quite a site! Alpha Acids and all!Fiskars the Whiskers wrote:If you keep the Humulus Lupline in groups, do they fair a little better?
