Def need some photos congrats on the buy. Personally I'm a huge fan of weeksiis, you may want to look into one of them, palmas is also a good choice :)

Opening and closing the mouth is the way polys force water through their gills (enabling absorption of dissolved oxygen), opening and closing their mouths is something they continuously do, this is then supplemented by air gulping. As for the food I just have a quick question, I'm not trying to...

Often times when polys eat something large they'll swing their heads back and forth to use their muscular bodies to force the object down, I'm not sure it that was what was happening, but it may be the case. Her floating tail may be a sign of gas which usually solves itself within a day or so...

Could we get pics of the infected poly? As for not feeding, I wouldn't worry too much about it they can last without a meal for a long time. You said they had worms ON them right? No intestinal parasites? Any idea what kind of worm? What are you using to treat it? Edit: It's generally...

Sterlet is just a general term to refer to juvenile/young sturgeon, it's not actually the name of any species.

Well it really depends how long you'll be gone for. But a good way to get them set is to do a real good wc and give them a decent amount of food before you leave. They won't starve very fast, if you're worried you can stock the tank with feeders they can catch while you're gone.

I got a free 40g hex tank from someone that was moving ;) gotta love when you get a good deal

Lol I guess rays make good cover for polys :D great pics

I've personally had quite a bit of success with japanese trapdoors, they reproduce twice per year and from all of my experience with them they're great cleaners and pretty hardy.

Hey darius, I have a gibby with my sen and they get along just fine. Never see the gibby sucking/rasping on the sen, that said always keep an eye on them, and keep them well fed.

Drop some vinegar onto the rock, if it bubbles it'll likely dissolve in the aquarium,potentially releasing harmful minerals.

Seriously, a racoon would be a welcome guest, just the other week I had a juvenile black bear in my back yard. I have wolves that rome the area, coyotes, bobcats, lions, even the rare grizzly (THAT is an animal you don't **** with). It's getting really annoying, lately I've had 3 elk killed on...

Do some reading on convergent evolution, it's an incredibly interesting subject. As I said before the example of the 2 and 3 toed sloths are perfect examples of this. Each evolved from separate lines, however, they've each evolved in similar directions over time.

I've always thought small sens are adorable. It's not uncommon for a lot of juvies to have a slight line down their flanks.

:0 I don't even know where to begin, this is such an impressive undertaking. I know you'll keep us updated we'll be perched on the edges of our seats waiting.

I wish raccoons were all I had to deal with, you should see what we get up here in Montana.

lol that del is a little fatty beautiful pictures thanks for sharing.

Just a quick question I'm pretty sure I know the answer to (no), is there anyway (short from flying to central african with fishing rod in tow) of getting p.s.m. in the trade?

I'm going to say female judging from the size of it's anal fins the shape of the caudal fin threw me I thought for a little while it was too pointed but I'm leaning more towards female.

I don't have more of them :irked:
