My new polys

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Still have all your rainbowfish? :D

I tried this combo once and it was my sens and polli going nuts trying to eat the fish.
 
Yes I still have all my rainbows. They have lived peacefully with my sens, polli, delhezi, ornate and endli for 5 months or so. I have however lost 11 tiger barbs, 2 kribensis, 1 4" Kenyi cichlid and 6 of so oto cats. The kenyi and tiger barbs were too big to be swallowed but they were still killed and I found their mangled bodies sometimes in the morning. I won't be sad if they get eaten. As a matter of fact I think I may get one more poly soon. A Teugelsi xD.

Yes that's the spirit! More bichirs keeper here in BC. Dude we gotta have a bichir meeting or organization to spread bichirs keepers here in BC. Not many people here are into bichirs or other monster fish. It's only been recently.:headbang2:headbang2:headbang2:headbang2:headbang2:headbang2:headbang2 BICHIRS BICHIRS BICHIRS...!!!!
 
Thats the spirit King-eL. However I think there are quite a few bichir fans in B.C. Well on this forum anyways. Have you seen Kole's new poly's? I am kicking myself for not getting the Teugelsi when I was there getting the other polys. I guess I was just worried about him being an expensive meal for my Koliba. On another note I decided to throw in a whole smelt (without head and cleaned) just to see what would happen. I a usually afraid to do this because polys can choke and die but I figured the smelt would be too large for this too happen. My polys went into a feeding frenzy There were death rolls and everything. It ended with my Koliba swallowing the whole thing. Next time I will make a video and post it.

I actually cut them to small pieces and feed them even the head.

Other places to go for cheap frozen food is T&T.
Feed them frozen gobies as they tend to grow fast. They only cost $3.99 for 400g. They will also have frozen weather loaches sometimes.

Another place to go is Langley farm market.
They alos have frozen gobies, frog legs and other high protein meaty food that your bichirs will love to eat. They also cost $4.99 for a 400g.

Or any Chinese market that carry unusual frozen foods.

I might come and visit Kole tonight at 8pm or tomorrow Saturday at 8pm.

Not all T&Ts carries them. The one here in Surrey Central carries them all the time. As well as Langley Market at Kingsway close to King Ed.
