Kevin, blues are not hard to keep, but they like to hide, so not fun to watch. Jewels are nice and can be in community tanks, but they stay small. Next to my Midas, my favorites are genetic creation by man known as blood parrots. They can be kept together in groups and are super fun and friendly.

I LOVE Blood Parrots
. They have some the size of two fists for 30 a piece at the fish store
I think i only have one little boy poult, and 2 girls. The little boy is always strutting around anymore, but no fighting since he doesn't have anyone who will fight back.Yes I hated Africans! Well with the exception of the Frontosa. I ended up switching to South American ones too but were still not what I liked. I just went back to Angels after that. Bettas are awesome! I must admit I can't resist a good Full Moon one.
I've seen Midas at the lfs and love them! I had a Jack for about 3 years before it jumped out of the tank. I love when the lfs has the Electric Blue ones in stock. Yea I heard they can be harder to keep alive. The show tank at the fish store has a Mbu Puffer:
What species do you have? I HATED the gravel habit. I had planted tanks before them.
Yea there poults. They've been sparring almost non stop today. Is this normal?. And oh no! Maybe I should leave off the Puffers for awhile
I think Broody is in the air. I go outside to find the Mallard and the Call on ONE egg a piece.
Those are pretty. I like oscars. I had them from when I was a little kid until a few years ago. Waiting until the kids are a little bigger and I don't have so much baby stuff taking up room so I can set a tank back up. They are so friendly, remind me of puppies. My last one I had from when I was about 16 until I was 23 or so. He would eat out of my hand, come up to the top to be petted, and liked to play with ping pong balls. He's take them to the bottom, let go and let the ball ping the lid (plexiglass cut to fit and weighted down to prevent jumping out), repeat. All night, lol.I LOVE Blood Parrots.

Wow had no idea they grew so fast! I'll have to swing by Petsmart to see if they have any in stock.

Julie, I know what you mean about the oscars being friendly. Kevin, parrots are like oscars in the friendly factor and are nicer to me because you can keep 3-5 in a single tank. Oscars, on the other hand, prefer to be solo fish unless in a super large tank.
That's the only thing that bugged me about oscars. I like colorful community tanks, so I'd usually have one set up for that and one for just the oscar. Oscar did keep one of his feeder goldfish as a pet for 3 years. Never touched that one for some reason, and it got almost as big as him.
Dutch, love butters in the nicu!
Scored a deal this weekend.
Complete with all original paperwork, receipt from when bought, and maybe used once or twice if that. Got both the bator and hatcher for less than 1 cabinet bator.
About half way done with the Buff American hatch! Will be shipping part of them out this week. Still more Sebbies hatching. We have eggs set to hatch right into early June. 20 goslings growing out, and starting to see changes and making early selections to watch closer come September.
Three keepers so far:
Ripple - goose- grey dilute saddle, betting she will go splash
Jubilee - goose- splash super curly
Unnamed - gander - white with chest curls to spare
Growing out: blue, grey splits, buff, lilacs, possible lavender/lavender splash, saddlebacks, a few who need to feather to figure out color/pattern. Fun group for sure. (all Sebastopol)
Then we have hubbies buff dewlap Toulouse babies 1 gander 3 geese
WOW!!!! What a find, Celtic!!!! I would soooo love to find one of those! Those are awesome for waterfowl
Love that betta...gorgeous!Yes I hated Africans! Well with the exception of the Frontosa. I ended up switching to South American ones too but were still not what I liked. I just went back to Angels after that. Bettas are awesome! I must admit I can't resist a good Full Moon one.

Blood parrots are cool and calm....always thought they'd be cool to have.
When I was into cichlids, I had 8 different tanks. I had a huge South American tank with Angels and other soft water cichlids, and had it planted heavily with live plants. I shipped fish and plants all over the place. It was a beautiful tank, and the Angels loved it so much that they actually bred and laid eggs in it. I always wanted Discus....but they are extremely touchy from what I read.
I had a huge African tank, too. One of the cool fish I had in it was a shell dweller, and would lay it's eggs up in the shell....it was cool when the female would bring out all of those babies all of a sudden. When spooked, they'd shoot back into the shell. They were prolific, and one of the breeds I shipped a lot of.
When I went through my divorce, I had to sell most of my fish and tanks, and just never got back into them.
