Turquoise Head Jewels spawning in Fahaka central

Post by grup »

This is some interesting footage of a really beautiful aquarium that had a rather interesting mix of 2 Fahakas,
as well as several species of Cichlids. According to Martin's posts, it all worked for a while, but he eventually separated everything out due to stress issues.

Be sure to view some of his other videos of his large puffers in a mixed species tank.

My fahaka allows tank mates. It's rare that someone would find 2 of them that do & actually get along with another fahaka. They look VERY well fed though. A lil too fat for me...

Point taken, PP.

Better to be well fed and well kept, than just well fed.

I pity this portly fellow.

Fish abuse is so desperately overlooked, it pains me.
