[Mr Pleco]

right now dudes still new nothin gonna happen tonight its tommorrow night that worries me lol what you waitin for bro go get that mutha , you aint got a tig in the tank yet
ps whats the best food ? guppies or minnows

alot of things are keeping me from getting the other one lol. Clown loaches are a big thing and more worried about when it gets bigger what kinda of temperment will it have. Why does tomorrow night worry you more then tonight. Friday i will probably stop by to treat that chocolate and see this fish. I bet it looks amazing in person. Try both get a mix of them. but i would treat the minnows, but that is just me.

you two and those loaches. If i bring the loaches you bring the arowanas,ray, bichirs and payara. that seems like a fair trade.

i dat get it. But you try not to let that tat die on you and i will my best not to kill the tig.

 

[channarox]

have fun with the new tat.
starve it a bit and DONT even start it with live.

I only had my tat for a few months or so until he died while I was moving residences.

Do the other fish in his tank eat prepared foods, or just live? Try to get him on krill or smaller market shrimp fast. make sure the size of the shrimp isn't intimidating to him. Tatuaia aren't nearly as ambitious as armatus, hence why they are sometimes more difficult to get off live.

My tat always seemed skinny, and part of it just has to do with body type. they definitely aren't as "stout" as armatus.

I loved my tat. Try to provide some decent cover that doesn't allow him to completely hide. Driftwood laying on the ground, or rocks that butt up against the back of the tank, but allow for some hiding spaces will be appreciated by your fish, and will make him more comfortable.

As Trev has said in the past, never use any medications for injuries/infections, just salt.

Good Luck.

I always had good luck with pima and mela fix for injuries.
