Emperor 400

[abrinn23]

Would 2 emperor 400's be overkill for a 75g and a black ghost knife fish?

My BGK once got caught in the bottom if my emperor 400 but after I freed him he didn't get stuck again. I would say do it. I'm planning in adding another to my 55

How big was he?

 

[jackwagon]

It was when I just got him. He was only 2 inches so if yours is any older ill assume he will be fine.

I'm getting one that will be around that size. What do I feed him while he is that small?

 

[jackwagon]

Mine is eating crushed tropical flakes. I hand fed him the fist time. Just pinch a little I'm between your fingers and put it right next to him and he will go for it.

Alright awesome thanks!

 

[jackwagon]

Yep be sure to post some pictures!

 

[abrinn23]

I definitely will! Expect to see some this weekend if my parameters remain perfect

 

[abrinn23]

Do you have one if those "knife tubes" for knifefish?

 

[abrinn23]

The cycling has begun...

I like your stand! I'm actually going to build a combination cave/ ghost tube structure out if slate and ABS. I started a thread about it but I got a little side tracked and haven't done anymore work on it. But I will eventually. Mine stays out all the time and like to be my power head, not by the current but off to the side.

 

[abrinn23]

I'm definitely going to follow that that will be extremely impressive! I have my reserves about the tube because I don't want him to just stay in that all the time but I'm going to work on a way to integrate it with the rocks I'm going to put in there and make it a "cave"

I forgot that I was getting help from you on this thread too! Here are some pictures of the little guy. Taken from my phone so sorry they aren't the best!

 

[jackwagon]

Looks exactly like mine. Haha have you tried to handlers him yet?

Hand feed* stupid auto correct

 

[abrinn23]

Yeah I did! He took freeze dried bloodworms from me and then I tried shrimp pellets but he wasn't having that haha

 

[jackwagon]

Nevermind I just saw your other post lol. Here is mine. These are bad camera pictures too.

 

[abrinn23]

I wish mine would come out of his little hiding spot and swim around, I know he's just getting use to everything but I'm impatient haha

 

[abrinn23]

Well he's decided he doesn't want to eat anything anymore....
