Re: Tank update for F8's!

I have MTS snails with my Dp's. Grumpy old Git when he still was alive learned how to suck them out of their shell from my Clownbotia's. With me they come out of the sand at night so he had midnight snacks. In my Clowntank i only have very tiny ones because they need to breed fast because of the Clo...

Re: New 535 Gal Freshwater Puffer Fish Tank / Need Advice

I think im one of the lucky ones. Kaya our Fahaka has no problem with plants what so ever. :lol: She only touches plants to lay on top, or when theres food on top of it, then she sometimes bites the plant. So far the only plants who didnt work where cabomba, and that was more because she zoomed trou...

Re: Puffer gone.. how to keep tank cycled?

Maybe there is some left over food under some stones?
Sometimes its enough to raise the nitrates without nitriet and ammonia.

You could also test your tap water to see if it has high nitrates.

Re: hang-on and air pump

Botia's are diggers also. Mine loves to rearrange the tank and root evrything up. After the rooting up they have a nice feed on it. Also they dont mix with puffers in my opinion. If they are as big as my big mama is, she will teach them a lesson or two when they nibble. Javavern tied to wood or rock...

Re: feeding fahaka

Last friday a coworker of hubby brought a huge crab for kaya to eat. It was already deep frozen. Since it was so big we decided to slam it in 2. Well i never saw something that nasty. Normally we feed her scissors i get frozen from the market and the innerside of those are nice white and meaty. From...
