    Brackish water question.

    Currently in my 125g I have 2 oscars, a pleco, jack dempsy and an upsidedown catfish. As these guys get bigger I'll probably need another tank. XD I recently aquired a Green Spotted Puffer and I am aware that they need brackish water. The above fish mentioned, will they be ok in a brackish...

    Vent pics of OSCARS?

    I have a pair of Oscars that you can't possibly separate. They laid a batch of eggs which unfortunately, were eaten on the 3rd day by my evil catfish. They recently laid a 2nd batch of eggs, and after 5 days they remained in the tank, and I removed them due to a fungi growing on them. As I used...

Please tell me what you think. http://img259.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=dscf01651.jpg Go...

    How much can your fish stomach?

    I'm going to take a picture of my fish soon, but it looks like it ate more than its own body weight in food today..... Anyone have pictures of their extremely bloated catfish or whatever? I just wanna see how big some of our fish friends can stretch!

    Hello everyone. I have recently purchased 2 albino walking catfish. I noticed that they are constantly active, as well as eating. They are honestly the most active fish I have ever had the pleasure of owning. My question is, what do you recommend for feeding? I have so far been feeding them live...

    Canister Filter Position?

    Impeller gets cleaned by me regularly. There is a bit of buildup in the tubes, looks like brown algae, but there Isn't a massive amount. All the media is clear of anything that could block water flow.
