i wouldn't doubt it.. the lil guys probably get a big kick from it lol. on a stranger note.. my little black convict seems to have dissapeared.. and i have a good guess where it went... :/

ok thanks... and ya they have plenty of hiding spots! I guess i'll just see what happens.

very true.. so you think i should give them time? it's not like they're skinny or anything.. they really are fat lil guys haha. they might be eating when the lights go out.. who knows :/

it said between 0-20. i ran another one and came up with 20. not sure about the variations. and if it matters any my tank was planted 3 days ago before i put sand in.

sorry lol. nitrate 0ppm. nitrite 0 ppm. soft water(75) 120 alkalinity. 7.2 - 7.8 ph. ph is thr only one that decides to fluctuate. and yes, they are very beautiful fish, however I've asking around and the general consensus is that they do not grow to be anywhere around 12" in captivity. i'll see...

40 breeder. water params are spot on for what they should be. i do daily water changes as well.

sun catfish/eclipse catfish depending on where it comes from. okay... so water params are a-okay, and theres practically a buffet for them lol. they are about 9 inches long.. both are brothers so they're practically inseparable. BUT i cant get the big fellaz to eat:/?! i have flakes, pellets...

oh, yeah man. and i really appreciate what you guys do on here. so far in the tank i have a tiretrack eel, a small jack dempsey, a convict, a badass loach(he is the smallest and somehow bosses the rest around), a green terror, and a lazy firemouth. thr tank seems to be ok so far... i try to keep...

im well aware of the requirements as far as space goes. my main concern is how to get them to eat.. or to simply start eating even

well, i have gotton all of the fish to eat (earthworms of all things) BUT the oscar.. and i have no ide what i could get him to eat, i've tried everything but feeder guppies

yes, and some sort of fizz tablets that im fairly skeptical of.i did a pwc twice yesterday and once today. they apparently stabilize ph and amonia toxicity, as well as a chemical that reduces nitrates and phosphate, and helps stabilize ph and alkalinity as well. i dont want to over-medicate or...

i have test strips.. but thankyou! my girlfriend set up my first tank.. so this is the first time I've done it without "supervision" haha. I'm just worried about getting my fish to eat.. the levels arent too much of proble as the are nearing the "ideal" zone they shouls be in. could the fish...

just set it all up a few days ago.. fish arent all eating yet and my levels are almost constantly fluctuating... so im wondering that since i just set it up, should i be doing daily water changes?

a few days ago i bought a brand new 40g tank.. stocked it a few days at a time.. and now im encountering problems. it seems my fish ( tiny oscar, dempsey, and 2 pictus) are unwilling to eat. i absolutely have no ide what to do.. theres PLENTY of hiding spots, ezpecially seeing how small they...

That looks about right! from what i can tell, and dont quote me on this, they get about 20 inches or so long. I just dont know what they could go with.. because catfish tend to see something and automatically try to fit it in their mouth hahaha. Maybe Oscars? Big Eels? Maybe even a large angelfish?
