I think he knows, since in the first post he said he knew it was a bad choice. IMO. Just curious... What size tank do they need?
dkpate said:I would go even bigger than 75 gallon, my BGK grew from 4-8 inches in less than 6 months. I would say 100-125 since they are long fish and LOVE to dart around.
Like posted before, keep the water really really clean, if you have ANY decorations in there, feel them and make sure there are no sharp edges. Almost all of the plastic houses and tubes I got for mine had to be sanded down.
Do not put him back in the 10 gallon, keep him in the bigger one, it has more water volume, which is therefore easier to maintain okay water parameters.
Do water changes until you get the nitrites down to .25, even if you have to do two 50% water changes every day.
What are you feeding him and how much?
dkpate said:Prime is fine with everything, and I would actually just go with the Prime itself, skip all the other stuff.
You should keep doing water changes every day or so until the ammonia and nitrite are at 0, which could take 3-6 weeks.
