Yeah i have 2 Bichir..Senegalus..a male and a female

Just looked them up the upside down cat is a Mystus Leucophasis-the Asian upside down cat. My raphael is spotted so it is the Agamyxis Pectinifrons from south america

Yeah i put some shrimp pellets in right when i turned the lights to moon mode last night and he was hunting around this morning still before i switched modes again. He looks really awesome. I designed some really good dark hiding spots just for the catfish and the pleco all 3 seem really happy

Some of my favorite pics from the past couple days. Added 4 new fish and stocked my 75 which has been cycling and is finally ready! So happy with it

Pictures from today

I just acquired an upside down cat and a raphael cat from a buddy they came from a well established 50 gallon tank. They both look very happy in my 75. Lots of rocks and cave structures..Driftwood..Just looking for suggestions about diet and feeding really or any advice from people who have had...

If you have an aquarium store nearby most will test your water for you if you bring them a sample

I like to make sure my snails have lots of driftwood, live plants, rocks and caves to forage for algae and keep them busy in the bottom of the tank. I also make sure they have plenty of food (algae wafers) that seems to keep them in the tank.

Yeah i lost 2 Nerites that way. They just went too far away from the tank while i was out for the weekend and dried up. At that time i would put them back in the water multiple times a week, and my tank conditions were fine. Now i just keep it in a tank with a sealed canopy

I have had several Nerites and they climb out of the tank all the time. In contrast, the mystery/apple snails i have stay underwater 98% of the time. I think the Nerites are less aquatic than other snails. I dont know for sure but they definitely climb out of the tank more than other snails i have
