Thanks, ill be sure to change the water more often. The white line has been there, i cant tell if its scar tissue or some kind of infection

Sun/eclipse catfish is 2 years old and 9 inches. He has some kind of open wound on his side, i noticed it about 2 weeks ago. It hasnt healed yet, and his behavior has changed. He used to never leave his log with the lights on, now he'll sit out in the open. Ive been treating with melafix, is...

About 15 dollars.

I've had this guy for a while, but I need a species ID in order to determine whether I can keep him or not. I bought him from a LFS in July, he was labled as "red pike" and the shop owner assured me he would not exceed 6-7 inches. He is now roughly 8 inches in length. It might be helpful to add...

It is a 75 gallon tank, I know it will be overstocked when all fish are at max size, but not all of them are staying for the long run. Thanks for the advice, ill definately try meal worms. How has your bichir grown since you've bought him, just for comparison?

Welcome, I hope you find this forum as helpful as I have!

I have a large aggressive stocked with: 1 silver dollar (other 4 died mysteriously) 1 sun/eclipse catfish 1 pike cichlid (exact species unknown) 1 senegal bichir 1 plecostomus I introduced the fish into the cycled tank in february of this year. Since then, all fish are substantially larger...

I did catch them in a local pond, but the pond water is much warmer than what i currently have them in. I expected them to be cautious of eating the first couple days, but from their lack of movement they already appear half dead.

I also have a senegal bichir in the same tank as my eclipse catfish. The bichir is by far my favorite fish. Very cool to watch, and doesn't pick on anybody.

eclipse catfish are awesome, I have one in my 55g. They grow so fast! Mine went from 1 inch to like 4.5-5 in 3 months. Make sure you have a dark place for him to hide, mine's in a driftwood cave. I dont see him during the day, but when you wait until night, turn off the lights and shine a...

First of all thank you for taking your time to help, i appreciate it. Now then, I have been working on building a pond for the past month now. I have a small stream that runs through my property, and I simply found a good area to dam it up; fast forward to today, I now have a small pond. It is...

I own a Red Tail Shark that is nearly two years old. He does not live up to his aggressive description and only chased a couple of cories for a few days when they were 1st introduced. The cories and shark now live happily together and the shark only flares his fins a little bit when competing...

I'd have to say go out and get another filter. They're like 10 bucks.

I own a 55g tank with driftwood, rocks, and plastic plants. It has been set up for nearly two months now and I have several questions about the fish I have stocked it with. I have 6 silver dollars, 1 Senegal bichir, 1 sun catfish, 1 common plecostomus, and 1 pike cichlid. All the fish are very...

Take out the shark for a few days and see what happens+ treat with Melafix
