Raw is always preferable when feeding any fish.

After contacting Cichlids & Salt in Springfield MO to see if they'd take it, they hooked me up with someone about a half hour away that's going to pick it up on Thurs. /thread

Yeah, don't think I'm gonna have a lot of luck living where I do. I'd take it to a shop, but the two we have in town are just awful and they would end up feeding it goldfish and selling it to somebody with an even smaller tank I'm sure.

Well taken care of 21" + Silver Arowana. Pellet trained (Hikari sticks), receives 50% waterchanges weekly, never been fed feeders since I got it as a baby. Was planning on moving to a bigger place where I could get him a bigger tank, but it looks like that unfortunately won't be happening...

Blech, those things have always grossed me out. Not the body shape or anything, just the primitive jawless parasitism of it. Still better than a hagfish though.

http://www.practicalfishkeeping.co.uk/content.php?sid=2850 A good read, supports the "only for medicinal use" side of the salt argument.

brutal, I've had some bad streaks, not quiet that bad though lol. If you've got tanks, you might as well keep them going IMO.

I think she's just really really relaxed. Very pretty JD, love the red coloring on the head. My male is just the opposite, jet black at all times, but then again he lives will a full grown male GT.

Heh, and that's the reason I've yet to purchase any fish online.

No, it won't lessen waterchanges. All it will do is help prevent parasites, and kill green water.

I've only had cloudy eyes on endli's, no more than a moderate haze that cleared up on it's own with increased water changes. Don't know how cloudy it can get before it's irreversible. Could just be damaged as well.

They'll bury themselves almost completely (at least when they're small) if they have deep enough sand, or a hill to plow through.

I have an ornate bichir that has always had somewhat deformed pectoral fins, no idea if it is from damage or just genetic. Would probably be worth a try, but I doubt I'd ever actually do it.

I think I'm gonna have to give up on trying to get mine to eat NLS at this point. It's been a couple weeks now that he's refused to eat and I'm not willing to push it any further. Maybe I'll try mixing some NLS in with hikari so he accidentally eats it, and then I can try to slowly increase...

You can stick anything you want on the back of a tank, if you're talking about putting it in the water, it doesn't sound like a good idea but I really don't know.

Have to agree, looked kinda bleh on the white sand, great looking now.

My big male GT is a glassbanger, and I've seen videos of others doing the same. At the very least they are commonly bolder than JD's.

2 endli's, 1 ornate, 1 senegal = 511

African butterflyfish are very cool looking, but are one of the most boring fish you can own in my experience. They only come out during feeding, and the rest of the time they hide motionless in a dark tank corner.

Yeah, in my experience JD's are unfortunately shy and skittish (but I still love em). If you want a bold cichlid, try a GT.
