If you're looking for a good replacement for the salmon check out tilapia, the fillets are quite affordable and far more nutritious than most of the other stuff you'll be able to get a hold of. You can easily get the fillets individually packaged, and they're quite tasty so you can enjoy them...

I only ask because I got 3 ropefish and put them in with my ~8inch sen I noticed the sen would stalk the ropes and occasionally nip at their tales. Unfortunately I didn't think anything of it at the time. By the next morning the 3 were dead and had bite marks covering the length of their...

Not a problem, hope it helps, mind posting some more pics? Your setup looks great.

Always err on the side of feeding more frequent smaller meals, as opposed to irregular large meals. It takes some time to figure out how much they eat per sitting, but probably just a couple/few pellets at a time. When my sens were smaller I had to break up the carnivore pellets for them...

Couple quick questions. How large is the senegal? Have you seen the plecos rasp or latch onto the ropefish at anytime? Are there any red areas on the fishes bodies?

Personally I really don't have a problem with live plants and polys, my 40g grow out for my endli is planted, she's got plenty of driftwood to hide in so that may be why she really doesn't burrow, but it can be done. Check out amazonian swords, their roots propegate really nicely, and they seem...

Sorry forgot to answer your first question, I'd personally limit it to around 3 sens, so long as you have adequate filtration I wouldn't worry too much about it, they live together well. Make sure there are plenty of hiding spaces, you could get away with more than that but I think 3 would be a...

Personally I prefer not to feed salmon (and even trout) just because of the fat content. If I end up feeding locally caught fish to my polys I tend to stick with yellow perch and walleye, both are white meat and aren't as fatty or greasy as other species. To be honest I wouldn't really worry...

also lol just watched the vid, I was laughing my *** off

First time seeing the thread, but when you say you had to keep going back there... you mean the one time you took pics and the one time you took a vid?

I certainly hope I didn't dissuade you from pursuing an endli, as far as dels are concerned, depending on the size of your rays the dels may be just a tiny bit on the small side, just be sure to grow them out to a good size. As far as coloration it depends on WC or CB with CB you're more likely...

It would be able to turn, they aren't so stiff bodied as gars, but not quite as flexible as eels. While it would be able to turn around the additional size is purely to account for the animals comfort. Additionally it takes time and the proper parameters for the fish to reach such sizes...

They're not eels, the common name dinosaur eels are not descriptive of their taxonomy. As far as keeping them with sting rays, the two would work well together, provided the endli isn't small enough to be dinner. If you've already got sting rays it's pretty likely you've already got decent...

Get that poly out of that tank ASAP, sooner or later your gibbi is going to get a taste for the slime coat. Never keep plecos with polys, they just don't work together.

Personally my gibbi loves the cubed frozen beef heart that I drop in for my other fish (mostly small cats). He really loves the hikari wafers and zucchini, to be honest I wouldn't worry to much about yours, the sailfins aren't known for being shy when they're hungry so he'll do, and since they...

Wow :0 I thought I went overkill building my 40g breeder stand with 2x6's but that's just insane, what's going on top of that beast?

Pfff way to rub it in :( Montana isn't exactly known for it's import/export sector.

I'd be interested in buying, thing is that price will vary mostly by location, those like me don't particularly have the best access to the fish market so prices up here are generally higher than most other places. I've seen regular endlis and dels go for $50 :/

Make sure to listen to everyone saying to get rid of the pleco, losing a beautiful fish like a poly to something as simple as stocking choice is a real shame. Corys work well for the smaller upper jaw species at least while the polys are still smaller. As for CL they're great, but my sen ate a...

GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!! That's it thanks ;)
