thank you. i had alot more fish but i had to get rid of it because i had to much bioload. bichirs are eating like a fatass. they are getting me broke LOL

really! why my bichirs are not eating machine, when they are full, they don't eat all. I have ornate, delhezi, endlicheri, palmas and ordinary bichir.
 
lol. i have no clue why they arent eating. mine come up to the tank whenever i try to feed them.
 
substrate is usually a personal choice. color will make a difference however cause some like to blend into the environment. i use both tan color sand and bare bottom and there has been no difference in the stability of my widebars.
 
yea. i noticed that. i switched subtrates like 5+ times and get i never got to see the group of datnoids stable. i used 3m quarts, dead live sand, natural gravel, color gravel, black sand. etc. none of it got them to be stable. and finally the black and white gravel mix was the best result i got from the datnoids. other then one of my bigger indo, others are pretty much fully stable and 1 indo is semi. i just gave up investing on subtrate got me broke in about a month i had to starve my fishes for 3 days.
