Koi with aro's???

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I did that before. The koi totally eat up all the leftovers... but they too sh1t like non stop:D
 
i can live with fish that crap... tank gets crap sucked once or twice a day.... and strong turnover, heavy filtration... so i think its worth a go... how slow did u acclimatise them up to temp and what temp was the tank?

I never bother about the temp in there. The fella just live happily in there. The digital thermometer is showing 29'C though.

You are sounding too excited over a koi dude:ROFL:
 
nah, its good! ive cracked it... a prehistoric tank is a messy thing, think to predict food wise is tuff and you always end up cleaning uneat food the tank so u need a clean up crew but, i dont want any thing violent, teritorial, small, dull or unfreindly. as little none prehistoric's as poss, so im thinking, a koi for the surface and a megladora or clarias for bottom duties?

Koi in tank always at the bottom and sometime mid level:D
