On (19 Aug 96) Calvin Littlefield Rambled On  To John Dailey...
 -=> Quoting John Dailey to All <=-
 JD> I've been hunting for freshwater books at the local petstores without
 JD> much  luck other than a 12-page, two-color informational doo-jobbie.
 CL>   Try your local used book stores, especially the warehouse-style
 CL> ones.  I dropped about $20 in one recently and came home with an
 CL> armload of good refernce works...almost $150 worth if purchased new!
  Even New book stores can have bargains, book stop, books a million, b
  dalton, Waldens, etc every now and then sell Hardbacks  of stock not
  moving/old  at low prives, recently picked up some Trek books in Hb,
  for 1.99 where cover was 19.95-24.95, and NEW condition.
  It pays to look all over, of course the cheapest place is the public
  library ;-)
 JD> Ps. - Strange, my Fancy Angel fish aren't agressive at all... in fact,
 JD> they're  the most peacful in the tank! :)  Is this odd?
 CL>   Depends on what else is in the tank, water conditions, etc.  I've
 CL> been told that you shouldn't put more than one type of fancy-finned
 CL> fish together...I've had bettas in community tanks succesfully, but
 CL> I'd never put one in with a fancy angel.  In my 20 I have a large
 CL> angel (4" long and about 5 1/2" tall) with a few guppies, an
   Fancy angels can be put with other fish, if their not the
   type to Fin Nip, also tank space is important.
    I had 4 angels in with  gouramis,  pleco,  head and tail lights,
    and 2 Tin Foil Barbs w/o any problems.
    Danios, and other fin nippers should be  left out.
 CL> Angel gets along with everyone except the female tetra who
 CL> occasionally has delusions of being a Jack Dempsey. I named her
 CL> Rosanne.  :) Angel gives her a wide berth in spite of being 5 or 6
    Hah!  I aviod tetras with the long finned fancy angels,
    regular angels do ok with tetras, but those longer finned fancys
    seem to bring out the nipping in some tetras.
