They are the shyest fish I have ever kept they catch a glimpse of me and are immediately under a rock. They are also not eating very well I tried spirolina flakes and mysis shrimp and they will only eat the mysis if it floats right to them. All my parameters are perfect and I am keeping the tank at 80°F. I would appreciate any input on keeping these guys and getting them out from under the rocks. Thanks

I plan on having him in a community tank with some angels, an electric blue ram, and a school of hatchetfish. I'm a little concerned about making sure he eats. I planned on using a pellet as a staple for the other fish and mixing in brine shrimp and bloodworms. Will he take these as well or only live food? Are ghost shrimps a good option to feed them?

My tank is currently set at 87 for the discus.....Will this be ok for the Heckelii or will they not grow out to a max potential due to the higher than normal temp? Both heaters are located in the sump and are not at all easy to get to so I would prefer to not have to lower the tank temp if at all possible.

I added a channel cat with my small koi and 2 clawed frogs, this was about two weeks ago. The catfish ended up having ick.

I always add salt after a water change but usually half of the recomended dosage. After I did my last water change I added the recommend dosage.

I also used what I think is malach green, the petstore sells the product in a unlabeled bottle. I assume they buy a large quantity bottle of something and break it down. I used this after two water changes. The petstore told me they use this in all their tanks and they had frogs, but I was still unsure of I should use it. I ended up using it with charcol with the medicine thinking it might be long enough to kill the ich and not harm the frogs. It did help with the a little but it came back.

Should I use this medicine without charcol? The frogs didn't seem to mind it. Can the frogs handle 87 degree water? They are between a year or two old. ]]> Reptiles, Amphibians and Other Exotic Pets Cu455 http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?541142-Highest-clawed-frog-temperature flowerhorn really sick... http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?541141-flowerhorn-really-sick&goto=newpost Wed, 22 May 2013 10:45:42 GMT been away on holidays to return home 2 days ago to a sick fish. iv changed 50% of the water and added salt and some anti bacterical thing... she has pimple looking protrusions coming out of her body and seems to be rather bloated. shes not eating or swimming much, heavy breathing too, theres... been away on holidays to return home 2 days ago to a sick fish.
