My Fahaka Puffed up!

I did not have a chance to take a picture. Today I got to see my Fahaka puff up for the first time ever. It looked like she was just practicing but I thought it was kind of awesome. So I had to share.

Re: Adult Fahaka Behaviour

Nope, egg production in fish or any other animal is a definite a sign of sexual maturity. The fish will likely not be full adult size at that time, as fish grow throughout their lives, just more slowly post-puberty. Well my Fahaka has laid eggs but she seems very small if she is over a year old. My...

Re: Half gravel Half sand?

Well after 3 months of the gravel sand mix and the BS that came along with it my Fahakas tank is now all sand. She is a bit ticked off at me at the moment but I am sure she will be happy when she gets used to it. If I had to do it all over again I would just go for all sand right away.

Re: Micro bubbles coming from my sump return

Thank you. I took it apart again and found a piece of a plant stuck in the intake. It is smooth flowing again.

Micro bubbles coming from my sump return

Anyone have any ideas why I would be getting micro air bubbles coming from my sump return on a freshwater tank? It was fine until Sunday morning and has now been doing this for about 48 hours. I know it is not hurting anything but it looks terrible.

Also the scale doesn't do it justice. Every time I see someones big tank I keep thinking "that's not xxx gals, looks smaller" :D

Congrats on the score!
Yeah the longer I look at the tank I think now I need a bigger tank.
