Whats the best school fish could you suggest in an iwagumi set up? Thanks
Tight schooling is a fright response. When your fish are tightly schooled they are stressed.'ve got neons too but they only school when it's lights out or somethings spooked them.
That one.wagumi style is contrary, mainly all about wide open space highlighting the iwagumi hardscape with rather in majority low vegitation. Looking at nature a style like this as nature tank, more resambles faster flowing streams or open mid area laking marginal vegitation as overhang. Occasionaly you might be able to find schools of small fish like tetra's etc. at such locations in nature. But not as their main hanout location. If threatened or feel like it all will take refuge in the shallows dense vegitation. Laking this will oftenly result in strange unatural behaivor, like huddling all up togehter in a low corner of the tank close to the substrate.
I'll be quite honest I'm not sure there is a good small fish for an Iwagumi, unless it has some floating plants.Yeah that's why I said the neons only schooled when something's spooked them, when I first bought them I thought they'd be tight like the rummy noses but have learned to appreciate them for their individuality The Rummys and harlequins hang in their collective groups although there's always a few who do their own thing unless as said it's lights out or spooked.
To be honest my apologies I only read best schooler yesterday not for Iwagami - my bad
Absolutely agree, a bird is made to fly and not spend the majority of it's life on a stick behind bars.birds in a cage
Well, if we really really like nature in general we shouldn't have fish in an aquarium, birds in a cage or even a dog on a leach.
Yeah, i think the bond between man and dog is one of a kind and cannot be compared to any other form of animal husbandry other than the horse. To be fair I'm sure I read that man has developed the bond with dogs for approx 40,000 years. Furthermore a lot of dogs today couldn't survive without humans. However the spitz type dog, closely related to wolves and used by vikings maybe that would survive in the wild but due to loss of habitat etc it would probably struggle in present day.
To be fair at the rate things are going, people keeping fish and birds are going to be the only way certain species survive.. which makes me mad.
he got in a horse field once and rounded all the horses up into the corner ha. I may add he diddnt hurt them just scared them.
