Such adorable little polys, wish I could find some near me.

Awesome, glad to hear he's in a 55g he should be set for life in there, as for the frog if that's and albino african dwarf frog you may want to consider moving it as he gets larger (it won't be for a while most likely) as polys predate on them in nature and I've heard of more than a couple...

What size tank is he in? Looks like a 10g or 20g long, if that's the case you may need to upgrade later in the future.

The wolf fish is an interesting aggresive fish to own. I would recommend however, that you get the tank first and the fish later. The last thing you want to do is have a full stock rapidly outgrow your tank and end up being stressed or stunted, aside from that it would be plain unethical...

You're correct in the sense that bowfins are not a member of the polypteridae family, however, you should be careful to link animal of similar phenotypes. While it may serve to demonstrate a closeness between the two species, other factors such as convergent evolution make morphological...

Nice looking p.senegalus, they're one of the more active polys available. And the certainly have great personality. If you have any other questions we'll be more than happy to help you out.

I personally view evolution as a combination of phyletic gradualism and puntuated equilibrium. The periods of stasis mentioned by OP could very well be periods in which PG is the dominant form of change. Though major events such as the permian extinction would open large niches in the so...

Sorry for your losses but what you described is pretty vague so we'll need some more details. Tank details: size, w/c schedule, decorations, stock, any recent introductions in the tank? Fish details: could we get L#, how long ago you bought them, where you bought them. The more details...

Don't worry he should be fine. +1 to wc and double up on food Depending on the time line try and feed him at night, then wake up early wc and drop some more food in before you head out.

Ohhh... that would explain it I guess...

Why don't LFS seem to know what these fish are? I was just at my LFS and they had a del labeled an ornate. The worst part was when I corrected them and told them to look up pictures for themselves they told me that the dealer had told them it was an ornate and that was the end of the...

Hey Darius, I just tried to pm you, you need to enable messages lol, anyway here's what I was going to tell you. Hey Darius, sorry for writing back so late, life has been a little crazy. Anyway, it's possible your ornate might eat them, ornates are known to be aggressive polys. The best...

You can't go wrong with hikari algea tabs and fresh veggies every few days.

I just watched a few episodes for the first time the other day. I haven't seen many episodes so my judgements may very well be undeserved. From what I saw it was nothing but fabricated drama for "entertainment". I was seriously hoping for an interesting show but I should have known better...

I use sinking massivore pellets from hikari, shrimp pellets, tilapia, ghost shrimp, and earthworms.

lol that's awesome

Personally I'd go with a few african butterfly fish for the surface. They'll cruise the surface of your tank and provide a bunch of entertainment come feeding time. But you'll need a decent footprint, you'll want to keep them in a school of at least 4-6 to mimimize aggression, and since they...

In terms of general info you may find helpful, feed at night just before lights out. A lot of polys are shy (especially at first) and prefer to eat at twilight or as it gets dark. Space out feedings, polys aren't going to starve if you skip a meal and to be honest it's beter to start out...

I like a decent sized school of neon tetras, every time I've had them they're extremely hardy, and the bichirs eat them almost immediately after being put in the tank. But to be honest whatever hardy fish you can find willl work, if you're buying from a chain store I would seriously recommend a...

Sorry for your loss, just last year a p.senegal came home with me and started off my bichir insanity. It's really unfortunate when this happens, especially with a creature you're so connected to.
