Sadly, he died 5 days after I purchased him. It was due to tank bullies and not eating as much as he should have I feel but I am not positive. I am going to try again in the future but not till I get different fish. Next time the ghost will be the first fish.

For my numbers, I went with what my local fish store told me would be ok. And all my fish are still really small so space is not a big issue currently. I am waiting for the summer to get a 75-100 gallon for the bala sharks and knife fish. I am probably going to have to get rid of the columbian...

So I have a 36 gallon bow front tank and was wondering what you guys thought of its stock. Currently my fish are: 1 red tail shark 1 yo yo loach 1 silver angelfish 1 black ghost knife fish 1 betta 1 columbian catfish 2 bala sharks 3 black skirt tetras Eventually I would like to swap out the...

Alright thanks. I have just significantly dimmed it but I am going to leave the light off for two days or so It looks brighter than it is in the picture

What would you suggest I use to just dim the light? I am going to change it back. And I just moved all electronics away. The closest is 6 or so feet away

Also, quick update. I just fed him some brine shrimp and he ate alot! But still won't move frome the corner... Even when eating

That is correct

I also remember the guy at my local store tropiquatics telling me that electronic's near this fish might mess with it. Could this also be a problem?

Alright I will try

Th this is it currently. I just added something to dimm the light a while ago

This is the current tank setup. ( you can kind of see his tail stivking out in the upper left corner

I have a large pvc tube with three openings and a smaller one that his a little bigger than him, but he won't move from the top. I have tried pushing him out from behind in hooes that maybe he will try and explore the tank again but he just goes right back to that spot

Alright, thanks guys all I'm worried about is that he is sitting at the top of my tank behind the part of the filter that sucks up the water. Like is this normal?

Should I give it a few days to see if it adjusts before I make any decisions?

Also, the betta has been in there from the start and hasn't bothered any fish yet. I did some research to make sure it would be ok and it said as long as it is the only betta or similar looking fish
