Re: my tanks (1)
+1 to PP. I would stay in a corner too if i am in there.. on a side note, I think I see some white grains on him.. And behind the fahaka i can see the inlet of the filtration built into the tank at the very bottom.. I hope u do eventually get substrate and the decos in somehow.. perhaps somw alteration need to be done.

Re: my tanks (1)
She does not feel safe! This is what we have been trying to tell you all along, your problem will get worse and more frequent until these puffers are housed properly. Now the question is whether or not you can cater for their needs?
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly
Re: my tanks (1)

Re: my tanks (1)
I'm just looking at the picture you most recently posted and although very hard to tell looks like some grains of salt on her. I find it easiest to first spot them on the fins as tiny white dots. If she was in with your sick congo you most definaly should be treating her for ich also. Ich lives in the water so any and all fish in the same tank will probably be infected (especially with such a severe case you're congo has). How and for how long did you continue treat last time?she have not sick and no bacterial infection,a little skin injury .Last month, the white spot disease, but has been cured completely.

Re: my tanks (1)
T.k we did not say you need disco gravel. You do need substrate of some kind! You also need to provide suitable homes for these fish.

He was being cute about the fact he is NOT using the "disco gravel".

Yes, you most definitely do NOT need disco gravel Your fish would appreciate even a thin layer of substrate and some hiding places though
It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.

Re: my tanks (1)
Try to work towards something like this:
Trust me while it may make the tank look a bit crowded the fish will be grinning from ear to ear... err shall I say... gill to gill.

TK she is looking nice glad you are working towards a better environment. A word of caution try not to overfeed. How often are you feeding and how much? They should be feed til their bellies are slightly rounded. Here is a link talking about overfeeding viewtopic.php?f=2&t=149
