New to Polypterus - Substrate Advice!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Awesome recovery! Retro and Del look Purdy. Good luck with these and keep us updated. Who was the seller-bluegrass?

Yeah whos the seller? Lolz

It was fishonlinerus.com. But to be fair, other than this one instance they've been great to deal with. This is my second order through them, and Sam, the owner, is very accommodating and the fish are pretty good quality. And it was also the day after christmas so I kinda understand the confusion

Why'd you think Bluegrass, do they have a reputation for things like that?

Since it was shipped. Seeing a retro I assumed it was bg from aquabid but got them mixed. So, it came from cali shipped to you to NY. Usps priority 2-3 days? Just curious on transit.

Yeah I found these guys on aquabid. Nah it was shipped Fedex overnight

One thing they do, that nobody else I've ordered from does, is they put a sprig of some plant in there, I'm assuming it's to increase oxygen levels. I don't do any planted tanks so I'm no expert, but I thought that when it's dark, plants actually consume more oxygen than they produce, so wouldn't this be counterproductive?
 
Awesome man give them their own thread !! Havent seen a retro sonce dr.b's. I really like them

Oh my gosh! That's horrible. I'm happy they're recovering.

I will be VERY curious to hear updates on if your retropinnis hides a lot or not. I was just so close to getting one.
