Hey fellow MFK'ers! Got these super cool little guys yesterday, were sold as Atabapo I. Would love to hear your feedback, please tell me this is so!IMG_1676.JPGIMG_1677.JPGIMG_1678.JPG
 
Nice you actually got Atabapo II. Not I but these are the ladder pikes. They still do get very nice brick red and crazy orange eyes. Looks nice. How much did u pick them up for?

Damn was really hoping for 1's. They were super cheap... 15.99 but they had a deal at 3 for $40 so I ended up getting four for $52

Hey still a killer deal man I'm ordering 9 for that around that price but I have to pay shipping haha. Be careful with them man I see some hole in the head on them. Clean water (low dissolved organics nitrate, nitrite) and softer water is good also adding metro will help too.

Thanks yea I've heard they are susceptible to it. My plan is to keep up with 30% WC twice weekly. Do you think I should increase frequency or amount of change? Also, what is metro?

I would do enough water changes to keep nitrates below 10ppm.

metronidazole for parasites. Seachem makes one called metroplex.
