Are fish flakes a good stable diet for a baby Bichir?

No need to add. Just watch. If not eating and losing weight then consider it.

By the way that teugelsi has a funky stripe on it. Maybe I haven't seen enough teugelsis. Reminds of kolibas.

also what does MTS mean?

Multiple
Tank
Syndrome
These tanks just keep multiplying when I'm not looking or something...

Alrighty folks! Last night's tank shuffle went swimmingly
Regarding the parasite treatment... the store owner is very reputable, and assured me they did absolutely no live feeding in the whole store, since these poly's have been in store for 2 months I'm fairly confident that they have no parasites. Still, they are CB poly's so as I mentioned earlier, I'll have the Prazi Pro in tomorrow and I can treat if it's still worth it.

Would this still be advisable you think?

Here's the current situation:
The two poly's are now in a bare bottom tank, with just my shy little syno. cat. They all seem VERY relieved to have the red terror and JD out of their hair. I've still got both these little fellas eating off of the good heart stuff I got from the store owner. Also, I found tilapia, is it alright if it says 'farm raised' tilapia on the package? I don't see why not, but just checking to be safe.

Just wanting to clarify, you're thinking they could have had these mislabeled in the store? Or is the funky stripe a health concern you're seeing?

Here's the closest thing I've got to a head shot at the moment it's from before I moved the gravel out of the tank, if you mean more of a 'bird's eye" view of it's head or something I'd be happy to get that tomorrow. Let me know.

I dont think its a mislabeled poly. Its a teug just unique. That racing strips is rare for a teug. If ist a koliba it will have more finlets. But i might be wrong, but imo its a teug.

 

[Vancouver_98683]

Agreed. It's a very nice teug. Let's see if the mid stripe sticks around as it grows. Pretty exciting to wait for, right?

I think everyone is just talking bout how your teugelsi's pattern is unique. The top half doesn't seem to have pattern?
typical CB teugelsi:

No he looks healthy and happy no worries.

The pattern is what threw us of its unique,i just asked for the head shot to see if it looked like a lower jaw. Which it doesnt. Teugs are upper jaws

 

[kno4te]

Yea...unique patterned teugelsi.
