    Endlicheri ate my new senegal

    I put a new 4" albino senegal in the tank. My 8" endlicheri perched on a plant, snapped it, down it goes. That is all. I guess half length is incompatible. At least it was only $9.

    Ammonia Cycle Taking So Long!

    I would not wait. This is lame. Quitting putting ammonia and any other chemicals into the tank. Put Seachem Stability bacteria into the tank. http://www.seachem.com/Products/product_pages/Stability.html http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2753903 Put an Ammonia Alert monitor...

    dose your bichir ever do this?

    All the time. I think they're checking if the other fish is a potential mate, or food. If the bass were a smaller fish, it would be missing its pelvic or anal fin.

    32cm ornate in 4x1.5x2 for 2 years?

    Ornate bichirs are predatory. Sure, you can keep the ornate in that tank. It's possible that the ornate may eat the congo tetras, butterflies, and the senegal. But you'll have a happy ornate! My ornate has eaten 2 clown loaches, 4 congo tetras,5 buenos aires tetras, 1 tiger barb so far. Vile...

    Looks like sarcoma on a senegal

    This makes no sense. This just causes paralysis as you have severed its body functions. The brain is still well and alive, but can't control it's body. This just makes onlookers at peace as they see no movement and think the creature is dead. Well, the creature itself is not at peace, it's...

    Looks like sarcoma on a senegal

    I used the inelegant hillbilly method. 1. net it with a net. 2. put it in trash bag. 3. double bag it. 4. throw it in the trash compactor. 5. plan to get a replacement fish. That is all. LOL. These past couple days, it started bleeding red from the site, doing bichir freakout runs to the...

    Fat Sen

    If it bloats and you keep feeding it, it will die. bowel rupture, infection, or whatever. Stop feeding it completely until it's normal size. Couple days.

    rope fish model

    That's cute. You should make it 6 feet long. And motorize it. Remote control. Spit water on command.

    Looks like sarcoma on a senegal

    My senegal with massive tumor. These are the pics before I put him down today. Looks like sarcoma, as it grew very fast over 2 months, and now it has fillet-ish looking muscular slices coming out of it.

    Any one use solar panels?

    Assume 15¢/kWh: 45 watt x 24 hours/day x 30.5 days/month = 32,940 watt-hours/month = 32.94 kWh/month. 32.94 kWh/month x 15¢/kWh = $4.941/month $140 / $4.941/month = 28.33 months = 2.36 years. It will take you 2.36 years, running the solar panel continuously 24 hours a day, to recoup that...

    Cracked my heater :/

    I like Fluval E's. http://www.amazon.com/Fluval-E-300-Watt-Electronic-Heater/dp/B001VMSK0I/ref=sr_1_1?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1353218447&sr=1-1&keywords=fluval+e They're protected in a plastic shell, so you can't touch the glass. Great for bichir freak outs.

    How to keep tank energy effeicient?

    Yes get a full glass lid. How long does it take a tub of hot water to go cold? Do they make thermos without lids? You must have a full glass lid. Otherwise, it's like reheating cold water every hour. That is all. Just a lid.

    Has anyone tried the AquaBella Bio treatment?

    This product? http://aquabellaorganics.com/aquabella-aquariums.asp Dunno. Somebody take the hit and tell the rest of us. It's technically possible, as there are bacteria that break down nitrate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denitrification But have they been able to keep those bacteria alive...
