    snake heads with aros?

    Thanks for the input guys. After careful consideration don't think I'm gonna risk my asian aros with snakeheads. Don't think I like em enough to start up a new tank either. Gonna stick with aros, rays and loaches!! I also picked up some silver dollars for tank mates with my RTG, and they are...

    snake heads with aros?

    Hey everyone! I was wondering if anyone has successfully kept a community tank with an asian aro and snake head. I've seen some video's on youtube, but it was only done with silver aro. I'm considering getting a snake head, either channa auranti, or channa bleheri to add to my existing aro...

    Decaying scales!

    After melafix treatment no improvement, in fact the SR red is now displaying a redish coloration around the tail. I'm almost certain this has to be due to internal parasite. I'm going to try treating for internal parasites over the next few days, hoping this will cure him for good. I'll keep...

    Decaying scales!

    What is pitting? I have never heard of that term before. I have been using melafix which should cure both, also wouldn't that effect all aro's not just the one?? The scale issue has been there for about a month, which would have given it enough time to transfer to other aro's, if it was...

    Decaying scales!

    No it does not look like that. I don't use carbon in any of my aro tanks, my water is always perfect and he is the aggressor. Also, surprisingly it's a pretty calm trio of aro's, they very rarely fight and I very rarely see any rips or tears in the fins. Water is tested on a regular basis...

    Decaying scales!

    Hey guys, here are some close up pictures of my SR's scales. Sorry about the quality, but you can clearly see the damage on the scales. He's not getting beat up as he is the aggressor in the tank. All are still eating. Water quality is perfect, nitrite, ammonia, 0ppm, chlorine not a factor...

    Decaying scales!

    This is the strangest thing. I did 3 days of melafix treatment, and after third day did 50% water change. All aro's are still eating aggresivaley, the two BBXB's are just as before with no issues to their scales, the Super Red's condition seems to have gotten worse as far as the scales look...

    Bichir not eating

    No, it has none of the above mentioned ailments. For some reason though started eating again out of the blue one day. Weird. All is well though, for future reference however, what does it mean if it does have red spots coming through the scales on the body?
