    Shell rot?

    I brought a Cumberland slider about a week ago and when I got it home I noticed that the back of his shell looked decayed like in the pic Now it's slowly spreading up the side edges and the bottom of the shell looks pale and whitish on the joins. I have a UVA+UVB bulb and a decent basking area...

    Channa pulchra tank mates?

    Yea, I was told its a fairly new species and its sub tropical so slightly lower temps than some tropical fish like.

    Channa pulchra tank mates?

    Picked up a channa pulchra yesterday and researched how to care for them but I couldn't find much information, I would like a pleco especially a blue phantom and I know my set up is ok for 1 but will the snake head be to aggressive?

    How many oscars?

    Ok, I think I will probably do that. Thanks :)

    How many oscars?

    Thanks for the reply, the tank will be done in the next 1-2 months and if I add them slowly what sort of time gap between adding them? I don't want to put 1 or 2 in there to establish a territory and grow then add more and the new smaller ones to get attacked/dominated and die from the stress?

    How many oscars?

    Hi, I am going to get some oscars today and would like to know what is a good number? Space isn't an issue because I have a 120g set up ready and I have a 750g I'm building now. I basically want to know how to keep aggression down, I was hoping to get 4-5 O's, do you think this will work?

    nitrates VERY high

    I'm don't know a great deal about marine set ups but It sounds to me that your having something called die off which I think is something to do with your LR but idk how to fix it as for the sand you have to stir it up and then the debris lays on top because its lighter and you hold the syphon...

    nitrates VERY high

    When was the last time you cleaned the filter and vacuumed the gravel? Also what is your tank size and stock?

    Spotted AFrican Leaffish Died

    Yea that should work as long as the other fish are bigger than the leaf fish can eat and I agree it might be better to add the leaf fish last but you can work around this by changing decor etc. good luck.

    I hate seeing this too! I have seen really good lfs go down hill badly when staff change, always a shame to see it

    Torn fins, who is the culprit?

    Thank you! Idk where I read that then :/ must have got confused with a different gar, I'm pretty sure it is him them. Any ideas on how to limit it? Bigger tank maybe?

    Torn fins, who is the culprit?

    Yea that's what I am thinking, but he is well fed and keeps itself to itself and I'm sure I read somewhere that they was diurnal? But I'm thinking maybe not :/

    Spotted AFrican Leaffish Died

    Sorry you lost you fish, that sucks :( I don't think leaf fish are schooling fish so 1 would be fine as far as I know and I have seen them fairly big (like 10 inch at least) at a lfs so not sure how many would be suitable for a 46g, and I have no idea about the oto's I wouldn't think they was...

    Torn fins, who is the culprit?

    Forgot to add that it happens at night.

    Torn fins, who is the culprit?

    Each day my fish's fins are torn a little bit again, its nothing serious and is mostly healed by the next day but then it happens again! ATM I am suspecting my spotted gar but here is my list incase anyone has had this happening before. My fish are: Red tail catfish 6-7 inch Rtcxtsn catfish...

    Tiger shovel nose triangle indent?

    I have room but I don't want a pond because it will loose to much heat and the running costs would be astronomical and also the risk of herons and cats getting at my aquatic beasties. I have been looking at large plywood aquarium designs but I'm thinking brick might be a longer lasting method.

    Tiger shovel nose triangle indent?

    Yea it is going to be huge :D and I'm not exactly sure how to make it yet, still planning the best way to build it haha I'm thinking brick ATM but not sure that's why I am building the 600g but no not like a swimming pool coz its going to be out of ground :)
