Thanks for the tips! I'm kinda in another predicament though (it never ends!). The severum has stopped eating... And don't thinking the little flying fox is eating either. I realized the last several days (maybe closeto a week now) the severum has no interest in food. Everytime I drop flakes...

Ok, that makes sense about fish turning sluggish from cold water. I'll try the thermometer in my hands trick. But yeah, goes there's no definitive diagnosis for the flying fox and angel fish. Could've just been their time to go. Not even sure how old they were. Ant recommendations for fish...

Yes we bought a thermometer from Walmart last night but doesn't seem to be working.. it said it was like 88F right when we put it in the cold water, and now our heater seems to be working and has warmed the water up quite a bit, but the thermometer has the same reading... Update on the angel...

Ok so I have kind of an emergency situation. I think it was Byron that told me it could turn fatal overnight with the fish I have in my tank currently. Well, it did unfortunately. Woke up this morning with my bigger one of the two flying foxes (or some type of algae eaters) dead. Well, now my...

Good to know about changing the MB for smaller photos! And thanks for the tips on plants for the severum. I actually have a couple pothos plant stems dipped in the water (not planted), and have the stem clipped onto the filter so the severum can't pull it down. I've read that pothos plants are...

Yikes. Well I definitely won't be getting any more fish unless I do get q bigger tank down the road. How many gallons is a 6 foot long tank approx?

Ok, this makes sense. I told my tank size and fish I have to the guy at the fish store and he didn't think adding more fish would be overstocking it at all. He had recommended an electric blue jack dempsy, parrot fish, and a few others. Tried both the EBJD and the parrot, both of which I ended...

Very informative reply! Thanks so much for the info. I think I may take your advice and just keep what's in there for now. And maybe get some new decor to satiate my desire for something new. :) Would love some live plants, but the severum just eats/destroys them. :(

Thanks for the response! I tried loading the image but it kept saying the file was too large :/. And I couldn't edit my post to take that part about adding the photo. Maybe cause I'm on my phone? Anyways. Tank dimensions are 30 x 12 x 22. GH is 60 and pH is between 7-7.5. So probably no rainbow...

Thanks for the response! What, if I may ask, are the exact issues with the fish in there now? They seem to all get along for the most part. The severum is just very much the dominant one in the tank, and I've noticed sometimes that the angelfish and severum pick on each other sometimes. But it's...

Hello! I am new to the tropical fish world. We took on a 37 g aquarium from a friend which includes a 6-7 inch gold severum, an angelfish, and 2 flying foxes. I am really wanting to add another fish or 2 (that are not small enough for the severum to eat) and that are preferably colorful (not...
