IN MY TANK
Hi guys


I lost the other other one of my ABA ABA:cry::cry::cry:

These small ABA's are hand to keep alive but will keep on trying.
 
Lousy, but sad to say it happens. Just like baby bowfin... just a very fragile YOY fish, then bulletproof when older.
 
you should buy one with some size on it already. usualy u cna order in larger ones. get one thats about 10 or 12" already.

Ive heard that many times.
 
sorry to hear about your loss =(
 
The key to letting a small aba aba survive is always doing water change every 3-5 days. Feed it 4-5x a day with bloodworms, blackworms or cut up prawn or cut uo fish fillet. You can also try to place some small guppy as food. It will grow fast to 8" in just a few months and become hardy. Also water temp must not go lower than 80F. Water temp should be around 82-86F to let it have a fast metabolism.
