    Thoughts on a community of reds and golds?

    Always impressed with your tank! What grade of fish did you end up going with? I'm looking at the merlions but hesitant to pick up premium quality fish only to have them fight and not show their true colors in a community setting.

    Shipping danger...winter!

    I remember when you shipped me mine, it got lost as well. Luckily we were able to find it 5 hours later and my fish was okay. Airlines should give the option to tag expensive cargo with GPS or long range RFID tags so they can never get lost.

    Thoughts on a community of reds and golds?

    Let's hear your thoughts on combining red aros with gold aros? I've been pm'ing merlion here on this board and he advises against the combination citing the overall look does not achieve a uniform theme and the difficulty in having the proper light to showcase either colors. Anyone do it...

    FS: 72" x 30" x 28" tank with black iron stand

    Yea, the fish turned out great, until it stopped eating for 9 months. During that time, it didn't show any signs of outwards deterioration. One day it just started swimming weird and within 2 days it was having problems staying upright. It ended up getting nipped at by my turtle and other...

    FS: Clown Loaches and Female Motoro Ray

    Couldn't edit my first post so here's the video in it's own post. Not sure why the quality of the video is so poor, viewed on my computer it's much better. The water is a little dirty because I just fed them, try to get the loaches out from the driftwood. I used to have a shoal of 9...

    FS: Clown Loaches and Female Motoro Ray

    Looking to thin out the herd. Finding less time to keep up with my tank with the new kid and work. Figured I'd make it a little easier on myself by getting rid of some of the bioload. 6 clown loaches from 5" - 7". $250 for them all 20" Female Motoro Ray This one's quite fertile. Gave...

    New tank brainstorm project.

    Building a bungalow and plan on having 4 bedrooms upstairs. I want the fish tank to have a comfortable sitting area around it to entertain with. I'm sure my wife would much rather have a TV on the main floor great room as opposed to my fish tank. Contemplating a flush mount fish tank built...

    Arowana is sick with something, not sure what?

    update Got rid of the male stingray, pleco and datnoid. The female gave birth to another 4 pups so I moved them to a separate tank as well. I think before I got rid of the male, he popped her again so she's currently pregnant again. My aro no longer has cloudy eye. Has no ripped fins...

    New tank brainstorm project.

    Hey Theo, Yea that's the aro I still have. Fish was delivered on my wedding date so there's a bit of sentimental feeling there. Really don't want to get rid of it unless I have to but if I want to do a comm tank, it looks like my only option. Thanks, these are perfect examples of tips...

    FS: 10" Indo Datnoid

    Purchased from another forum member about 6 months ago. Started really going after my aro in the last 2 weeks. Need to get rid of him asap before my aro jumps. Was stable up until 2 weeks ago, but now only shows colors when attacking. Currently eating thawed shrimp from Superstore and...

    Arowana is sick with something, not sure what?

    Every month, I clean one. So they go through 2 month cycles of cleaning. I don't buffer my pH. It's not something I've ever done. To be honest, I don't even know what the pH of the water is. I've always just paid attention to the nitrite, nitrate, ammonia parameters. Hopefully with...

    Arowana is sick with something, not sure what?

    Water parameters are currently normal. Mind you, I just did a water change yesterday. I am hoping to get rid of the male stingray this friday. I've also been looking to get rid of the pleco, however you can't give those things away either. Never thought about the bioload being an issue...
