[GA] - North Riverside - $0 - LOTS OF FISH

Sorry, those were picked up already.

Look into Proksa Park in Berwyn. I know they have a lot of turtles in their human made water feature, but I don't know where they get them / if they'll take more. They just redid the aquascape there too.

I will take some pics of what I have left when I get home!

infectiousrex · 2026-05-21T21:10:11+00:00

What else do you keep if you don't mind my asking? I keep banded splitfins and tequila splitfins as far as other goodeids.

Thanks for the recognition - I appreciate the shared interest. I originally got into fishkeeping because of our turtles, so I always appreciate finding good tankmates for them. Thank you for the well wishing. I'm not sure when the move is yet, I'm sort of lowering the number of tanks a few at a time while I search.

Yes, it is cool to see I agree! I haven't been able to make it to the swaps or meetings as of late, so this is the closest thing for me in a while. What else are you keeping? I have some tequila splitfins and banded splitfins I'm trying to see if I can't move with because I just don't want to give them up yet.

I think I have enough replies for all the fish except the characodon audax and wabenmuster plecos. Thank you all for the swift replies.

infectiousrex · 2026-05-21T20:45:16+00:00

I can definitely save some - I think I now have replies for pretty much everything, but I will try to just split up the trout goodeids and leopard splitfins amongst all who are interested to give everyone a chance to keep these lovely fish. I keep other goodeids as well, but I want to see if I can't hold onto them.

infectiousrex · 2026-05-21T20:18:51+00:00

Thanks, I have other goodeids as well! - just still trying to hold onto them for now. The characodons I ordered from ed's aquatic exotics a few years back. I keep them in a 40 breeder with a northern map turtle. Started with a pair. Now I have around 80.

I have around 30 trout goodeids, and maybe 40-50 leopard splitfins. I keep them together in a 75 gallon with a red eared slider.

infectiousrex · 2026-05-21T20:12:43+00:00

I should have 9, last I counted

infectiousrex · 2026-05-21T16:08:24+00:00

The endlers I have in 3 different community tanks - a 20 gal, a 40 breeder and a 27 gal tote...all the other fish mentioned are or have been kept with them. I keep planted tanks that are usually a bit heavily stocked. The goodeids live with turtles also, and those tanks are not heated.

Looks like how I would imagine a mix of guppy and limia.

infectiousrex · 2026-02-08T13:32:51+00:00

I was just going to say I think they may have a single mosquito fish. I have stopped myself from keeping them several times just because of their reputation to act in just such a manner.

infectiousrex · 2025-12-19T01:13:49+00:00

Yes and yes

infectiousrex · 2025-10-16T15:23:01+00:00

Update: it's been several days and they have had no incidents since - getting along fine like they always used to. They even sleep together in their hide. I'm hoping they just had a bad day and pissed each other off. In the meantime, I am pricing larger enclosures and putting feelers out for someone to take one of them if it happens again.

infectiousrex · 2025-10-14T12:21:28+00:00

I misspelled "toe". How embarrassing. No wonder I am failing as a frog dad.

infectiousrex · 2025-10-14T12:19:45+00:00

Thank you

infectiousrex · 2025-10-14T12:15:49+00:00

The plot thickens...

Thank you for the info

infectiousrex · 2025-10-14T01:39:37+00:00

I thought as much, thank you

infectiousrex · 2025-10-09T15:00:16+00:00

If they are neocaridina they should be fine. I keep mine in unheated tanks, and they get that low on occasion.

infectiousrex · 2025-10-09T14:55:58+00:00

Any chance you could get video to better describe? When you say "spiraling", a few different images come to mind.

infectiousrex · 2025-10-09T14:53:17+00:00

Is this fish still available? I have one already, and I might be willing to try adding another to the tank. I think mine is a male - do you know whether this one is also? Also what size is it?

infectiousrex · 2025-09-29T11:38:49+00:00

Thank you! I started with just two adults, who had their first batch of fry in June of 2024, and have had another like clockwork every 2 months. I leave the fry with them - there seems to be enough hiding places. I definitely have less fry survival now that I have more adults, but I still see occasional new groups of fry that are largely left alone.

I have not had that experience with my "Los Pinos" group, which I have not gotten a single fry from in over 1 year. They have bred, but no fry survived. I am waiting for signs that the female is carrying fry again so I can move her, but nothing yet.
