Oy, so sorry to hearyeah my 1st bichir was beheaded by one that is why I have a hatred of the damn things
So, after learning about your bad experience, I evicted all my large shrimps and add more guppies. Since my morays started to develop a taste for bloodworms, it chases the guppies less often & seems to prefer the worms, so, less wasted worms, thus the role of the shrimps as feeder+cleaner can be taken over by the guppies.yeah the prawns can molt every 2-3 weeks so they grow fast
thank you for the thread. You have me interested in E. Rhodochiluses. Do you know how long your friends have had their E. Rhodochiluses in full fw setups at this point? Also do when these guys are caught in the rivers is near the mouth of the river or far upstream?Hello Fat Homer! Nice to see a fellow fat guy
I don't have G. Polyuranodon yet, still in the process of acquiring one. All the G. Polys you see in this thread, all belonged to Mr. Septian.
Most of the Indonesians I know who keep G. Polys, Strophidons and E. Rhodochiluses, keep them in freshwater.
I do have three cute Echidna Rhodochiluses, I keep them in a low-end brackish aquarium (1 part seawater, 5 parts freshwater, with fluctuating salinity simulated by alternating between swapping seawater and freshwater during routine water changes).
This is my largest E. Rhodochilus, I call it Mr. Emerson.

My rhodochiluses has been in full FW for at least one and a half year before I bought them & moved them to a low-end brackish tank (average 1.006-1.008 sg).thank you for the thread.
