glad to hear he's doing well for you. i wouldnt be too worried about not eating, also i tend to not use live feeders, in a pinch nightcrawlers typically get everything eating well, however he's probably just still settling in. My slender lung still wont eat when i'm any where in the room with...

sorry to hear aboutyour loss, i've been having heater issues in the past six months myself. been looking into reliabilty with not a lot of success. i think i'm going to start using the stainless steel or titanium heaters, i've had glass tube breaks, leaks, and random heaters stickign in the on...

i've never seen a rusty with anything like the red coloring of the clarkii. i get both species at work and typically since i HATE rusty crays (not native in my area) i take those home to feed my Mbu and big lung. http://iz.carnegiemnh.org/NewAstacidea/img/photos/Orconectes_rusticus.jpg...

i work with a girl that cant handle them or she breaks out in a rash and gets pretty miserable on any area that they've come in contact with. dunno why i but i never thought that would do that to people. jason

sorry to hear about that, i'm fond as hell of my Mbu and would be very upset to loose that fish. i keep trying to poke around to make sure the cray bits get eaten, so far so good "she" cleans up reasonably well. once again sorry to hear about your lose. jason

biggest boost to growth in mine was more pellets, i used assorted ones, goldfish/koi, and some cichlid pellets. but the key to most fish growth besides diet is good water changes. mine get about 50% a week at least, they are living with my TSN, AUL and T gar so the more the merrier with those...

my lone male definatly has a wider anal fin that the other four females. that and he's the only one i see trying to spawn off and on (i will get those buggers to get it right eventually). great fish and i'm thinking about offering more soon, but they'll be smaller and i'll have to raise them...

i've been seeing the little beggars on the price list as well..been waiting/hoping for wide bars but no luck so far, i think i'll have to chat with the fish fellow this week and see if he has seen any. the little ones are cheap enough that they are coming in large numbers, if more people in my...

i wish i had the money i'd love to pick that little bugger up. i'll see what i can do with either tax returns or payday this week but its not looking promising, the power company seems to want to get paid again this month. any change you could get a pick of your turtle? jason

i only have five lungs at the moment and i have been pondering breeding some but i'm not doing so well at locating another 30 incher locally. ah well in time i'll find one or have the money to order one in. since breeding isnt much of an option for me at the moment i dont see a need to have a...

i woudlnt call it boring by any means, rather it would be relaxing which rarely describes my tanks :P. i saw a 16 inch BGK awhile back at the store i work at and if i had the space, damn impressive knives at that size. the angels look nice as well, i'm starting to miss having some around. jason

I'm curious as to how aggressive it behaves towards food. From the sounds of it nothing is passed over :). Mine eats pretty much everything that comes his way. I have to get more food for him soon since he's polished off all of my frozen tidbits for him. I'm sure you'll have fun with him...

if you ever get rid of that Ethiopian Sol send me a PM it would look really nice next to my albino in matching tanks :). Jason PS your old slender lung is still the SHYEST lung i've ever freaking seen...not to derail just to update :).

Everyone pretty much summed it up, they are by far the hardiest fish i've ever worked with but its no reason to skimp on the water changes mine gets changed about 70% once a week. mine is also about the same size as yours and i keep it in 9 inches of water in a 120 (the center brace is cracked...

i briefly kept one for a friend, they eat things bigger than most people would expect, they are lightning fast, they grow faster than pretty much any non catfish species i've kept and irritatingly enough they can be bullied by determined fish so watch for fish chasing them around. great fish...

everyone has covered the basics...they do like meaty foods, i used shrimp and smelt and frozen krill myself. the other main thing is cover every stinking tiny hole on the top of your tank or they'll find their way out, i lost my breeding age female to a hole for the heater cord. they are live...

mine is about eight inches long and on frozen food atm, soon i'll try pellets on him i dont really want to deal with live feeders since its unnecessary and in this case might bring in problems for my lung and gar in the tank and i'm not remotely interested in that. size is going to be a problem...

Oddball what would the real term be for my little catfish?

dont you love the mentally challenged people like that. i get the samething...how long would that oscar live with my piranha....ah hell i'll take him and see. you can talk and talk but the stubborn side of ignorance usually wins. i really love the customers that come in stinking of weed or...

had one at work the other day, it sold...never been really interested in them they always seem to be half dead when they come in and a pain in the butt to feed. on the upside this one did eat rather well after a few days. good luck with the little fellow they are interesting looking just not...
