If your unsure, can't find a catagory, or there is more than one species in the pic...put it here.

Sounds cool. The other fish I have in my tank are too big for the eel to eat. I guess maybe I will just continue feeding him 1 or 2 fish cubes, depending on how I feel.

I have a freshwater tire track eel that's about 5 1/2 to 6 inches long and a little over 1/2 an inch thick. Each day I hand feed him one to two frozen blood worm or brine shrimp cubes. He seems to be healthy and happy, but I feel like 2 cubes a day may be too much food. He always seems to...

As far as names I kinda like funky names, like Mayonaise, Meat & Potatoes, Shaq, Goby, or Cyrano (all names of my past or present fish). Maybe he is going to molt? His shell does have some interesting colorations, so maybe that's a sign of impending moltation? Hey belinda, what's an...

Yea pufferpunk that is my fish! I remember hearing a long time ago about how they do like saltwater, at least when they get much older. QTFFER the rash is red and grey so I think you are right it's bacterial. I guess I should try this Maracyn. Would this harm my scaleless loaches and/or shark...

Recently I did a test of the water in my two tanks. I used those little strips that measure nitrate, nitrite, ph, etc. Anyway my numbers were awful, for both tanks. The nitrates were completely off the chart! Over 200! Everything else was just o.k. The water looked a bit soft, and was too...

I haven't really set a name for him. I usually don't give my underwater creatures names till they have been around for a while. That way I don't become prematurely attached ;) Any name suggestions would be appreciated though.

Yea you are probably right. I guess I'm just being a worried new parent. :) Thanks for the comforting.
