Re: what can live with a fahaka
My Fahaka has grown into a full on buddy relationship with a Bala Shark. They teamwork feeding time, rest together, etc. Of course your mileage may vary, but I have found that my Fahaka has grown quite tolerant of other fish. Including a small group of Siamese algea eaters and some rainbows. EDIT: O...

Re: Fahaka Puffer Rescue
So the width of 18 on the 125 is enough for them to spin? Do you use rocks too or just a wood cave? My guess is it was an inexperienced person who saw it at a petco or something when it was a baby.

Re: Trying to save two GSP
My plan is to keep this tank just for them and move them up. How fast do you think i can go up in salinity since I have live rock i can put in once it hits 1.020?
