Jeff Rapps Teugelsi Growout Contest

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I never had any luck with CB teugs. All three I bought jumped to their deaths. They went into my filter and jumped out there. Its open because I have pothos growing out of the top. Good luck, Id like to see these guys at a foot!
 
Oof that sucks, what kind of filter were you using? My lid is pretty tight, the big pothos I have is going right through the heater hole so there's literally no gaps, and my HOB ac70 (they're in a 30 ga right now) is pretty powerful so I don't think they could hop out there

Weird thing is, I kept bichirs for 3 years in high school, stopped for 2 years, been back into it for like a year and a half, and I have NEVER had a bichir jump. I've seen em blast to the surface and get like a half inch out of water but never actually jumping like trying to get out, never saw marks on the body where it looked like they smashed the lid and I have a red wolf.. I'm pretty good at noticing jumping wounds because of it haha

Haha nice progress bro. Im starting to think that pellets exlusive diet doesn't give as much growth as im expecting. I will update mine on the 15th. This is a great experiment of comparison when it comes to diet.

Got mine on hikari carni and cichlid gold, live black worms, frozen bloodworms, frozen krill, some very finely diced catfish is what I've been feeding them. I'd say mine have gotten about .5 - 1inch bigger.

I'm actually getting a teuglesi tattooed this week hahahah

Post a pic after you get your tats.

I'm going to vary my diet after a month of NLS to see how much difference does a varied diet affects growth
 
Oh yeah for sure. Not positive on where I'm going to put it but I'm thinking on my forearm or bicep. Or even on my chest idk lol.

Get it on your forearm. Maybe it's just me but I think bicep tats look kinda dumb unless its on a full sleeve, but I'm a go big or go home kinda guy. Forearm tats look sick though!

Im using a penguin emperor 400. Teugs are jumpers in my experience. I found my 11 inch WC on the floor in the middle of the day. I was only at the LFS for about 35 minutes, came home to her on the floor and very red. Luckily I didnt step on her or didnt see her.
