Thoughts on bichir with RTC?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Id rather keep a brycon with a payara they are tough as nails to. To keep a payara with a arownana is a hit or miss do brycon instead.

When did snakeheads get banned exactly? I use to go to those fish markets in Chinatown and see all sorts of crazy live fish. I wonder if I ever saw them

There is a major issue when a Chinese guy released a pair of snakehead into the water way around 2000 or 2002 if I remember right. The law that banned any species of snakehead release soon after that (don't quote me on exact time but you can google it and there is a sticky on snakehead forum)

Do they have other big fish? I thought they always shop off the head when you buy them (food)

You have to go to state with high population of Asian folks and you will see all sources of crazy live fish in their maket, you can always tell them leave it alive and take it home.
 
There is a large famous asian seafood market 20minutes away from me 😅
I'm going to go see the fish tonight first!

Do those fish usually have parasites / sick? My only other aquarium is a 55 brackish for my moray eel 😞

Always quarantine new fish. I would have to imagine fish market livestock would be extremely susceptible to internal parasites/fungus/bacteria.
 
Quarantine is a must if you want to buy live fish from there, of course all the fishes have damage fins, missing scales so treatments for them to recover is a must too, unless you're lucky enough visit as right time at the day their new shipment coming in then the damage will be minimal.
