a silver scat for my tank??

[muuunkeeyy]

i was thinking about getting a silver scat for my 29. so far mono and archer that are quite small. it says that scats are quite agressive and have venomous spine. i didnt want to get it if it means that i will be losing my archer or mono. i wanted the scat because they clean up the tank and look interesting. lol more info this fish please guys? thanks

How do you mean they clean up the tank?

[muuunkeeyy]

supposedly they eat everything thats leftover and sometimes even eat the poops of other fish.

What kind of archer do you have in there now?

Monos and archers can be quite large when they're full grown. A 29 might not be big enough for just the two you have now.

[muuunkeeyy]

Banded Archer, Toxotes jaculatrix..they usually get about 6" full grown i think it will do fine in my tank by that time. the mono fish gets about 9-10", have if it is too big..id give it away or something. i was also debating on getting a needle fish but i needa do more research on that.

i was also wondering if it was possible to keep a clown loach in brackish water. 1.10 sg. i have one downstairs in the other tank and i was thinking bout putting it in my tank. i seen some videos of it on youtube, but you there are also some stupid people on youtube lol.

dude let that tank cycle before adding anymore fish
plus you just said your mono had a cloudy eye

take it easy!

[muuunkeeyy]

i almost forgot he had cloudy eyes! yeah im just trying to figure out what options i have when i get a fish or 2 more. i like to do research ahead of time :)
