Thanks! What!? That's like lore! How lucky! Well if you're ever wanting to unload some fry in the future, maybe I'll have to make a trip to Chicago!

Thanks! I got that from a foreclosed home next to my first apartment years ago.

I touched on it in the post, but less than 1 cm was far too small (especially when advertised and priced at 2.5 cm - 4 cm) for this tank with the way it is setup. I didn't want to set up another grow out tank with a bare bottom. I don't like to grow out fry in tanks with substrate and decor...

Yeah, honestly, I got a quote for the Sajicas I asked for a couple days ago. They got back to me today. 6 of them plus shipping is about $100. I would have stomached that, but they said they are less than a centimeter in length. At that size I would need to set up another separate smaller...

Well then my next question would be how many should I order to ensure a pair? 4? 6?

P.S. - Thanks for all the input, and those are great Sajica specimens Duanes! You can't show me those beautiful pictures though and then tell me not to get them! That's just cruel!

I'm not really worried about the size as I have an empty 75 gallon collecting dust I could set up should they get too large. The consensus sounds like shipping is the best option though which is what I was afraid of!

I have a 40 breeder behind me aquascaped with driftwood and rocks, and I wanted to dedicate it to one Amatitlania species, anything like: - Sajica - Nanoluteus - Honduran Red Points - Myrnae - Siquia Sajica would be my first choice, but every LFS around me looks at me like I have 3 heads when...

Kind of off topic, but where do you get T-bars? I've never seen them in person (St. Louis area).

She leaned over the pond once to look in, couldn't see him right away, he was directly underneath her, and he lunged and bit through the cover like a foot from her face. I think it's just the element of surprise she can't stand. She doesn't want to go near it at all. I'll keep him if nobody...

If anyone in the St. Louis area would like this arowana, let me know. His ravenous appetite scares my wife (he lunges at the pond cover when water condensates and drips back down), and she doesn't want to go into the laundry room without me anymore. He is about 18" and around a year old. If...

Hey Tikarmann, I'm not taking it the wrong way at all! I'd much prefer a monster acrylic tank for viewing him, but I bought the stock tank to transfer my vieja (or whatever genus they're in now) when I bought my house to make life easier (instead of transferring 4 tanks of fish and setting 4...

After 9-10 months, the arowana ate today. A Tetra Jumbo Stick signified the end of the hunger strike. I'm not sure what the longest documented hunger strike for one of these was, but this was the most nerve racking experiences I've ever had fish keeping. I noticed he had put a hole in the...

Alright, I tried the garlic. I'll see if there is an improvement tonight. Yes, the tetra died within ~6 hours, and I'm not sure if it was from the arowana or not, I figured they would be in his stomach if they were from him. It looked like they had some red-ish marks on them, almost like they...

I have tried adding multiple different types of fish at this point, and I'm really at a loss of things to try. Most of the time I just added feeders and they had died rather quickly (I assumed due to the increased temp or stress or a combination of both). Today I added 7 Buenos Aires tetra, a...

Well it's May now, and he still hasn't eaten. I've tried live fish, frozen shrimp, frozen fish filets, earthworms, pellets, etc. This is a 6 month strike now. He swims around mid level and makes sudden jolts to the side of the pond if I reach my hands in to get the uneaten pellets out. I...

I've got a 55 gallon aquarium with 8 stendker discus in it. It's planted, and they only eat flakes. My two biggest beauties in the tank paired up and laid eggs on the magnet algae scrubber (as if my aquarium wasn't dirty enough). The lights are on a timer, and the temp is at 85-86. I've...

Thanks for the response! I actually thought of the lighting issue, so I added a 5 arm directional floor lamp to the side that gives him "moonlight" at night, and then there is a double 8' fluorescent fixture right above the pond that we leave on during the day. I didn't notice any nitrites or...

Hello MFK, It's been a while, but I need some help. Here are the facts: I've got a 300 gallon rubbermaid stock tank pond (The 6' diameter one) in my basement laundry room with a shower curtain and clamps keeping it covered. The substrate is ~1" pool filter sand. The contents are one...

I just ordered the metro/furan2, but I don't have a separate tank for him at the moment. I've only got the pond and a 55 gallon planted aquarium. I may try to net him out again and spot treat him with peroxide today though. Just regular over the counter hydrogen peroxide is alright to use...
