We have a 135 gallon tank with an arrowana that's about 20 or 22 inches, a pleco that's about 10 inches and then the catfish. I went and checked on the catfish again and his stomach has gone down. Do they maybe store them and spit them out. This is my first catfish so I may be worrying for...

We have an 18 inch marble catfish we got a couple weeks ago who has been doing fine. Today when I check on him I noticed that his stomach is huge and looks like he may be eating rocks. You can see bumps here and there throughout the stomach. I'm worried about him and of course it's too late...

First it started around one eye and then spread down his back fins. To me it looks like dust. Or like mold but white (that fuzzy look). It's not tiny dots lick ich although he now has those tiny dots on one eye. One thing I didn't mention was that the tank has been set up since January...

We have a silver arowana that is about 10 inches long and is in a 135 gallon tank. On Halloween I had done a 25% water change and vacuumed about half of the sand in the bottom of the tank. The next day two of the gourami started spawning (they've never done that before). Then the arowana...

Pictures I would love to see pictures of your new tank. We also have a 135 gallon freshwater, but I am having problems decorating it. I want to go with a natural look so I have plants and rock but I'm not really happy with it.

He was a pearl arowana (australian) and we paid $30 for him. We were told he wound get to around three feet long (we have a 135 gallon tank but I was told he would outgrow it). $15 sounds cheap even for silver arowanas. Of course we got him in San Francisco which is usually a little more...

Arowana Thaiboxer - He was found on the floor. It was after we took apart the pumps and hoses so we're not sure if he fell out of one of the hoses when we pulled it apart or if he was there before and we just didn't see him. I had the tank covered but I know they jump and can knock the glass...

Our baby arowana (he's about 3 inches long) keeps jumping into the filter. He's done it twice so far and we have found him swimming in the top filter box (the part that is in the main tank). This morning when I left for work we couldn't find him again. My husband is still looking for him but...

Look under the topic "dwarf puffer not eating" and I put some information there about my experience and some websites that helped me. Hopefully they help you out also. Good luck!

I don't know yet if this will work (we'll be trying it this weekend) but we were going to try using a piece of PVC or another type of tube and a funnel. This way we could guide the sand where we wanted it to go and hopefully not too much will float around. I'll let you know if it works.

Puffers I had two leopard puffers wich are bigger than the dwarf ones but I thought I would still share my experience. I bought mine at Petsmart (not knowing any better) and had only read a little about them. I asked questions of the employee there and they said to just feed the two guys...

sorry, message posted twice.

tabitha - From what I have read they are peaceful fish as long as no other fish in your tank will fit in their mouth, otherwise he will try and eat them. Right now he is living with three clown loaches who should stay bigger than his mouth I hope! I was thinking about adding a black ghost...

Arrowanas The arrowana that we got does not still have his egg sac BUT they had a bunch of silver arrowanas that did and they were selling them! 8O Glad we didn't get one. Our tank is a 135 gallon so hopefully he will be happy there. My husbands friend had a silver arrowana that decided to...
