I’m thinking of getting one of those small novelty fish aquariums, actually one small enought to fit on my …

… desk. It’s about 5 gallons. How many fish can fit in that size and be healthy? I was hoping 4, one of which will be the resident gold fish. What other breeds of fish can survive together in a small environment like the one I am thinking of purchasing ?

Is there anything I can feed a small catfish tinfoil barbs won’t be interested in?

I’ve got some large tinfoil barbs that hog all the food. I’m worried my small catfish isn’t getting enough food.

I’ve tried algae wafers and shrimp pellets

Why is my green terror so small?

ive had my green terror fish for 2 years, and when i got it it was about 2 inches big and now it still cant be more than 2-3 inches! i thought green terrors are suppost to grow up to a foot.

*worth noting*
the green terror lost its entire tail fin almost 2 years ago due to being viciously attacked by my red devil cichlid.

it is a girl (i know cause it layed eggs several times)
****edit****
shes in a 90 gallon with a 6 inch oscar, 7 inch pacu, and a 2 inch oscar. i think my big oscar and pacu are too small too saying that ive had them 1 and a half years…not really sure though

Can a Coral Banded Shrimp catch and kill small fish?

I have a 24 gallon reef tank, with a false percula, royla gramma, and, RIP, a six line wrasse and a hector’s gobby. The gobby was quite small, and my coral banded shrimp is pretty big, the gobby dissapeared about 2 months ago; I assumed that the shrimp got him. Well, yesterday I noticed that the wrasse is gone. No signs of him anywhere. He was larger than the goby, probably about 2″ long or so. Could the shrimp have caught and killed it? I can’t think of any other explanation, my water quality is excellent and there were no signs of any of the fish being sick. The only other large thing in the tank is a regular black brittle star, but I don’t think they are really capable of catching fish like ther serpent stars are.
Thanks for the input guys, it seems like I’m not the only one that has lost fish to these shrimp! I don’t feed him anything special because he eats the flake food or brine shrimp that I feed the fish. He molts like every two weeks so I assumed he was getting enough food. I think I’m going to take him back to the store. Oh boy, it’s gonna be a bear getting him out of the tank…
