    Dont forget there are LOTS of other bristletooths that are less commonly seen in LFS

    They should charge admissions to read the tang threads, always very entertaining. It's the sound of 20 people talking and nobody listening :lol:

    Funny, i googled it and 9 out of 10 things i read said they grow really fast, like upwards of 4-6"'s a year!

    Regardless, its ALWAYS bad advice to tell someone to get a fish in anticipation of an upgrade, especially one that is super sensitive to stress related diseases and that requires alot of swimming room! Why recommend setting somebody up for failure when there are tons of better options? Ones that were already posted!

    The OP is on the right track, don't steer her into a tree!;)

    I was just at a speaking event and the speaker was a very well known national speaker state that they are very slow growers. 4-6ins a year? yea right, give me a break.

    So you'd recommend adding a hippo to a 90 gallon tank?
