Oh and you could probably keep a ray with him for now, I have no experience with rays since they are illegal here but I hear they are pretty peaceful.

In Florida our fish and wild life commissioners are very paranoid about fish that can damage our ecosystem to be let loose and kill everything which I really wouldn't mind catching African Tiger Fish instead of bass but I don't think that's going to happen :ROFL:
 
Hey guys! question.. why my falcatus won't eat this days? he's been 5 days of no eating.. i just put 50 pcs of mollies in my tank but this second batch of 50 pcs of mollies that i gave he only eat one molly.. then my indo tigers always eat the mollies.. whats wrong of my falcatus? the water parameters is good.. water temp is normal.. please help me guys.. TIA!!!
 
I noticed my Yellowtail stopped eating when I had the tank overstocked with no places to hide (floating branches, logs, etc.). Another thing that caused mine to stop eating was when my nitrates got up past about 40ppm. Not 100% sure about the nitrates, but once they lowered he began eating again. My Yellowtail has a couple tumors from a weak immune system (most likely from high nitrates), but he seems to be doing MUCH better ever since I did a major gravel vacuum job, changed some of the water, and added some floating plants.

That aside, how do you think 2 Redtails would do with my one, 5" Yellowtail? He's my buddy and I don't want him getting picked on or eaten once the Redtails get up there in size.

Great looking fish, though! Hope he gets to eating soon. Oh, one other thing I'd try is switching up his food. Give guppies and whiteclouds a try. Best of luck!
