Tales of Mad Fish - Part 11!!

  • Strange but true - how my gourami became stuck in a hole, and how I overcame this bizarre problem: Strange but True
  • Tales of Mad fish

    There are plenty of stupid fish around - with the main aim to commit suicide it seems. If you don't believe me, some other people have had also had nutty fish experiences....

    Gary Wheeler - The Sailfin strikes back!!...

    "I have a little 3' community tank, in it are some Swordtails, Platy's, 'neon'(cardinal) tetra's, a Banjo Catfish, 1 pair of Gourami's(dwarf) and some nice PEACEABLE Mollies (who am I kiddin'?). I popped down to the local pet dealer and spotted, in a community tank, a lonesome female Silver Sailfin Molly, awwww, poor thing so I bought it. I got it into my tank and it was like something out of a gory movie! This molly was constantly beating the living daylights out of every fish larger than itself, I was beside myself! It was so peaceable looking in the shop, anyway, she now lives in a large 'Brackish' tank with many other varieties of Molly, and a couple of cute little Asian Puffer fish, totally civilised! I can't work it out and probably never will as to why she went so vicious."


    Kevin Ro - Crazy Pleco!! Eeeeekk!...

    "hey speaking of jumping "stupid fish" my favorit pet goldfish, shoveler. At one point was sucicidal just like yours...it jumped out of the tank only mine landed on a silver tray in the living room! It was late at night i was just dosing when, patter, patter, patter i thought i heard a noise thinking my head was play ing tricks on m...i went back to dozing. A few seconds later...patter, patter, patter so i go out into the hall turn on the light, nothing hmmm...patter, patter, patter, huh!? So i go into the living room turn on the light, still nothing. So i went into the kitchen...and there on a silver platter lay flopping my dear sucicdal gold fish. It didn't die thank goodness, but it was never quite the same.
