Hello MFKers,
I have kept a pair of motoros for 7 months in a 6x2x2.5 220 gallon. The 7 inch male has developed bumps on his back and one has become prominent.
Ammonia and nitrite have remained 0 and nitrates are between 5 and 10ppm.
Filtration is 3 hob 400gph's with bio wheels, 2 marineland canister 530s and a FX6.
They get fed massivore delite pellets twice a day.
80 gallons are changed every 5 days or less and when nitrate tests 20 or more I do a double water change.
Substrate is smooth gravel, vacuumed regularly, and tank mates are a 13 inch female motoro, 12 inch silver arowana and 4 giant danios.
I have hard city water at 7.8 to 8.0.
Has anyone seen this before?
Any questions and comments are welcome.
Thank you
