Hmmm IMO glass catfish and upside down catfish may end up as dinner eventually for the ghost knife… however I’ve had large fish with small fish without too many dramas but it really depends on the fish. I probably wouldn’t risk it but it’s up to you. If you’re after a pleco in this setup I’d go...

That’s understandable, live feeding would definitely increase aggression towards smaller fish that resemble feeder fish. As well as trying to minimise any aggression within my tanks I also don’t feed feeder fish due to any health issues or parasites these fish may come with (unless of course...

I add it to my shopping list!

I love Charlie’s colours 😍

Such an eager fish! That ox heart must be amazing, Rudy is gonna love it!

I have heard about the benefits of ox heart especially for discus but I haven’t ever fed Rudy ox heart. It’s definitely on the list to try out, thank you! I’ll check out the video of Charlie now :)

That’s fair, however at the moment the eba isnt showing signs of stress. He’s coloured up very well since I bought I’m two weeks ago, he’s eating like a champ and he swims up to the glass when I’m near the tank. However, it is a very fair pint that you’ve made. If things look like they’re going...

I’ve raised a few batches of eba in the past. From my experience they can be excellent parents and it will help to keep the fry with the parents. They will fiercely defend their babies so at least a few will survive to free swimmers. Once they’re free swimming tho I’d recommend moving them to a...

Hahaha I’m hoping she remains peaceful 😂 she is definitely a spoilt fish tho! Gets fed a cube of brine shrimp and a couple prawns every few days plus hikari gold that she munches on very loudly 😂 if she does start to show signs of aggression I have a couple tanks that my eba can go to!

I definitely wouldn’t put a BGK in with a bichir. I unfortunately did that and ended up with a dead ghost knife :( I would recommend plecos tho. I’ve currently got a sailfin in with my bichir and the get along well, often sleeping under the same driftwood. If you could get your hands on an L600...

Anyone else’s Oscar been a gentle giant? I’ve had my fair share of psychotic oscars lol but since buying Rudy around a year ago I’ve noticed that she’s been the most placid and gentle Oscar I’ve ever had. She’s been raised up around some very small fish and whilst intrigued by them, hasn’t ever...

Thank you very much! Hmmm possibly but I do have a heater guard on so I’m guessing maybe not… most likely my pleco had a taste 😂

Thank you, I always thought that all plecos handled medication pretty badly… I just added a little bit of stress coat
