Hi, I have had my new fahaka for a week now. He's eating really well (bloodworm and small snails). I want to treat him for IP's just in case (plus I think he looks a bit skinny even though eating well). He is currently about 2 inches. I have done my research but I am still a bit confused as to how t...

Thanks PP! I think he's already grown.

Hi all, I popped into a LFS yesterday. They had 5 twin spot puffers split between two of those tiny tanks that shops normally keep siamese fighters in (probably 10 litres max!). 2 in one and 3 in the other. about 3 inches each. I spoke to the person at the shop and they admitted that ordering them w...

Interesting - i came across these yesterday for the first time. My lfs has these in 1.03 saltwater. Are these brackish or fresh?

Hi, Finally went to the LFS to pick up my Fahaka. I've included pics below of his tank and a pic of him. At the moment he looks a bit lost in that tank however he seems to be loving it (I guess it's like a palace to him compared to the LFS tank!). Can't wait to see him grow!. I introduced him yester...

Hi all,

I've been looking for schoutdeni's for a while now. Does anybody know where to locate these in the UK? Or does anybody have any in the UK that they are willing to sell?

So far I have found one at a shop in London but it was £400 and they only had one!

Thanks!

Hi

How many juvenile GSP's could I put in a 160 gallon? could i start with 12 and rehome if needed as they get bigger? The ones in the shop are currently about 1 inch.



Thanks

Hi all, My tank is all set up!! I went to the LFS to look at the fahaka. He looks like he had little colour and was just sat on the bottom of the tank not looking overly happy. I asked to see him feeding, and the person in the store said he had just eaten and pointed out, (as you can see in the pic)...

one issue i thought of - how long will the water take to heat?

Hi! The tanks arriving tomorrow!! I have tetra safe start at the ready. No LFS's have had fahaka's in stock for months so I was planning to buy online. I called my fave LFS on Sunday and by chance they received a fahaka last week!! it is only a small one (one inch). They have reserved it for me unti...

Hi all, I was at a LFS and running through their current 'import list'. The above name fish appeared on the list, available at about 6-7 inches long. I have looked through google and can find next to nothing about this fish other than it may well be marine (and not freshwater as 'advertised'). Does ...

Hi, I've got two 130 gal tanks arriving next week. one for a fahaka and one that I haven't quite decided what to put in. I've thought on and off about schoutendeni's - please post pics when they arrive as that may well help persuade me :D They are nearly impossible to get in the UK without spending ...

"they live in the Nile river & find food just fine!" - I never even thought of that haha very good point.

Hoping to pick him up on friday

Thanks Puffer Punk for your response
