Thanks! I know you posted the nitrate absorbing plant thread. thanks for the ratios! I'm trying to do this whole QT thing right this time! How long do you bleach the plants for? 20 mins?

No maybe 2 min. I think i posted it in that thread. Google it and double check

It can be with ploys of similar size, not really aggressive ime. Then Again mine is with fish that are capable of killing it, but I do have mine with polys, it's about 8-10" and is with larger polys now but was with same size ones which were much thinner of course. My tank isn't much bigger, only have a 120, don't know if it'll act different in a smaller tank without someone to keep it in its place. DB is the only person I've seen say his is overly aggressive.

thanks for the info. It might be something I try one day.

found it! I mixed up the 20 mins with the 1:20 ratio lol. You were right. In the thread post was 1:19 for 2 mins. Will also look into the MB and Potassium Permanganate. too.

Sorry for derailing.

Jeff is the man. I've ordered from him before and he's great. He is easy to get to via phone or email and really cares about you as a customer.

Are kribs smaller than jewels? I've seen some pretty big ones. If you stick with upper jaws I'd think they'd be fine.... ? Maybe I'm wrong.

I didn't realize you were localizing to West Africa. I would assume that only some bichirs live in that part of Africa too?

I'm wondering if it will work. Kribs rarely exceed 4", same for Jewels but they sometimes get bigger. Kribs aren't known for crazy attitude

Has anyone ever successfully kept bichirs with smallish cichlids?

Maybe it can work if you only keep UJ.
