My RTGG recently lost its lower jaw but it has nearly fully grown back.

I remember you saying, I don't think it's that bad. Lights on in an hour, glad to hear your rtgg is well on the mend

Ah, that powerhead sends the water into the OHF, right? What do you have in the container?

1 rough sponge on top, followed by 2 layer of fine sponge. I spray strong jet of water to clean the sponge every 2 weeks.

So, basically, just mechanical filtration, eh? Hmmm...

May I ask how often you change the water? And what percentage?

Thanks

Every 2 weeks. 80% water change plus gravel vacuum to remove the waste.

Man, how did that happen? I'm happy to hear that it's growing back - though I never knew that fish could grow back bones! Ah well, one learns everyday, right?

It was on my smaller one it happened about 2-3weeks ago.

OMG they are actually getting on and shoaling up a bit!

I post a pic when the wife gets off the other pc

As usual the quality of pictures is not great, the last one shows the sore lip.
They look so small next to George

The water looks greener than it is because of the treatment

He is doing okay. The 30 gallon tank look small for him because I take the picture at a close range. However, I'm planning of moving him to a 75 gallon tank 1 year down the road.

Dude are you kidding me? 15" fish in a 36L"x12W"x18H" enclosure, if I did that too my fish they'd come crashing through the side an use one of my Tequila Shovels on me! I have mine in an area of 72L"x18W"x30H", with a few other smaller tankmates and they only battle with each other not there tankmates & some of there tankmates are small enough for the Titan PR. to almost inhale.

Also I don't know where you get that RTGG are placid compared to other GG.
Maybe because you only keep yours with an armored fish. But mine are constantly at each others throat. Later I'll post the latest set of Battle Scars on my Titan Male given to him by his mate.
