Currently I have a 120 with a fx-5 and an ehiem classic. I have a sand substrate with some manzanita drift wood through out the tank. Im putting my Discus and clown loaches up for sale now to make room and so no one gets killed because of my new decision. I want to know if this is a good set up for a fahaka and if I can make any improvements. Any fedback would be awesome. Also some tips on how to care for new little fahaka. I can get one around 2'' from my local LFS for around 15 bucks with a hook-up.
Thanks

That's a great price! After the tank is empty, you'll have to continue feeding it flakes or ammonia, to keep it cycled. Read the feeding article in our Library section, for diet ideas.

Re: Getting a fahaka in the near future
When I go into the library to look at the diet links or anything in the library there are no links or articles coming up. Any help with that issue?Pufferpunk wrote:

Re: Getting a fahaka in the near future
Our library is temporarily down. A lot of the links can be found here. viewforum.php?f=65
Here is the link on diet. viewtopic.php?f=66&t=28566

Re: Getting a fahaka in the near future
That's why I said Library "section". 
We will not have a working drop down menu, until we upgrade. Please no complaining, the Tech Staff is working as hard as they can!

I wasn't referring to you, i was speaking of CoCoPuff's complaint. He does a lot of that here.

Like PP said, her comment wasn't directed at you busterbrown. Please don't hesitate to come here with questions, we're happy to help 
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.
