Temperature for bichirs?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I don't eat dog, ever. So why would I start with my pet? I do however eat fish, so I guess if I had tilapia or tuna as a pet, yeah I'd eat it. eat it.
 
Hmm, there is someone in singapore who killed and ate his 1000k+ worth arowanna after it bit him during a water change. It was report in the news and I :ROFL:.

But seriously, if my bichirs died, i would eat them. Cant let those hikari pellets go to waste now can I?

PS : I think ur misunderstanding, I was referring to eating your dead dels
 
Why the he'll are people telling him to eat his favorite fish!?!? Would you eat your dead grandma? It was a family member! :screwy:

As with the dog question...I don't eat people, that's not even comparable.
 
Are you sure?

Where would you dump a 12-15" long carcass? I heard that bichirs are a delicacy to natives. Plus, when admiring them in your tank, don't you have a thought (dark and hidden way deep in your mind) of how bichir meat taste like?
 
I keep my senegalus and dels in the mid 70's. They have been fine.

I have also noticed a pimple-like spot on my largest del. He has had it for a while and doesn't seem affected. Any ideas?

Way back in 1883 Leroy Garbagecan invented what is now commonly known as the "Garbage Can." It is extremely useful for disposal of organic waste.

Another option would simply be to return the rotting carcass to nature. Toss it in the woods, bury it in your backyard, chop it up and use it to fertilize your garden, etc. This counts as releasing a fish into the wild, so this method is not popular among fishkeepers.

You could also get the bodies professionally mounted, so you can have a bunch of awesome fish that live on your wall and never have to be fed.

I would definitely get my monster fish taxidermy'd. Wonder how much it costs?

a LOT.

bass around 20" can run anywhere from like 200-600 bucks depending on how and where you get it mounted, so i'd imagine tropical fish that taxidermists don't see often could run even more because it's that much more effort.
