Ignore the breeding efforts that should be put in the forefront of keeping this species, chiefly here because poor genetic diversity in the group I'm eyeing, for this discussion. Since getting multiple species from Lake Barombi Mbo is very unlikely, what species would you consider in a...

Those must be absolutely massive krobia, I've only heard of them reaching 5". The tetra I'm keeping are 2"-2.5" in size, so not quite bite sized, but still not as sizeable as those Hyphessobrycon anisitsi pictured.

I'm considering some as the centerpieces in my 90 gallon (72"x18"x16") that is stocked with around 30-40 tetra (Hyphessobrycon wadai, hyphessobrycon sp. blue ribbon, and pseudochalceus kyburzi) and around 20 ambastaia sidthimunki. I'm hesitant to introduce the krobia as it would be a quite...

Please post it there and give me a link to the thread! A minor edit to the end of first post: so I can't say with certainty if it's an illness I'm unfamiliar with or if these are sensory organs I haven't noticed from afar. They're quite hard to see even standing a foot from the tank. I can't...

I noticed a small wound on the base of a whisker and was looking up close at the vulture catfish. I never stick my face against the tank because I don't want to stress my fish out, so I can't say with certainty if it's an illness I'm unfamiliar with or if these are sensory organs. The...

I found some good pictures of juvenile brochis splendens and you are definitely correct. Thanks for the information! Definitely a disappointing loss of colouration and finnage.

I'm familiar with adult brochis splendens, didn't realize juveniles had sailfins. I'm assuming they grow out of them and that this isn't a trait that's been bred for?

Got these in without a name. https://streamable.com/kkvzhv https://streamable.com/vr9ye5

Behaviourally perfect! Out competes other fish during feeding due to his size and is rarely challenged by anyone but the gourami. Honestly, he's much more interactive now than before. No other fish ever developed symptoms - though I was medicating the whole tank explicitly in hopes of avoiding...

Thanks! I believe the stress of moving from my old work to my house with the age of the fish made him susceptible to latent bacteria in my tank (that I most likely contaminated my tank with from my old work). I'm attempting to remove any latent pathogenic bacteria via competitive exclusion...

I reduced the temperature to 69F. I fed two scoops of Kanaplex and two of Metroplex, mixed with four of Focus; one cap of Nourish and half cap of Garlic Guard, then mixed the medication in a container till dissolved. Then I filled the container with Northfin Tropical Sticks, shaking till they...

Just for fun, here's the scarring months later.

There's probably one or two small pumice rocks that made their way out of filters during maintenance, but otherwise no.

The fish is otherwise healthy, active, eating, etc. pH is 7.4, NH4 0ppm, NO2 0ppm, and NO3 40ppm. I'm thinking constipation? I feed Northfin Carnivore, Orijen Six Fish, and occasionally frozen smelt and prawn. They also take Northfin Tropical Sticks from the surface when I feed the cichlids...

Awesome setup! Effectively used the space of the tank to the point where it looked like a slice of nature.

Sorry to bother you, but I'd love to see more pictures of this setup. I'm in the process of designing my next big tank and want to emulate something like this.

I'm after the second one, which my understanding is that it's called Red Candy bloodline.

Hugely appreciated!

I've messaged a few Indonesian breeders but never got any replies. One of my last fish needed to complete my tank.
