Anyone knows the growth rate of Asterophysus? Can a 25cm Asterophysus be kept with a 60cm ornate Birchir in a 125 gal?

So oxygen is the KEY factor?

I know that coldwater fishes need a chiller to survive. Without chillers, many fishes die prematurely. Does that mean that even gars and koi and goldfish need chillers?

Do you thing force feeding of egg yolk to the fish is a good idea? It is too weak to eat on its own.

Now that my soapfish is in a new tank, how should I go about cleaning up the tank? Carbon was suggested, but do you think I should just throw all the water away (after all it is contaminated). What about the gravel, bioballs, filter matting/pads etc?

As mentioned previously.

I have had the fish for 6 months. Ohter fishes in the tank died of other causes, like jumping into the filter (how silly) and another due to cloudy eye.Should it be best if I transferred the fish to a new tank, to eliminate the supposed causes mentioned while the fish takes time to heal itself...

My soapfish is the lone member of my 135 gallon aquarium. He has not eaten for more than 1.5 weeks, which is unusual. Also, when I am not looking, he will lie on his side and breathe feebly. Sometimes he swallows food then spits it out about 1/2 an hour later! This may be due to the...

They will be unique additions to my aquarium.

They are not endangered and are from Africa. Max size : 47cm

How do you keep them? Requirements wanted, like food, temp(do they need a chiller) etc will be appreciated.

Anyone keeping them, info on temp, foods, pH, current etc? Anyone has any pictures to share of this fish?

Oops! Should have clarified earlier! :o

I know that fact, and am obviously not going to keep one!!!

I have found out on fishbase that siberian sturgeons (naturally???) have Enteric Redmouth Disease Bacterial diseases. These diseases can potentially spread to humans. Therefore, is it safe for one to raise siberian sturgeon, let alone handle one?

Can a the following fishes be kept in a 135 gallon? Photoblepharon steinitzi :10cm Photoblepharon palpebratum : 10cm Anomalops katoptron : 30cm Sixline soapfish : 20cm Gymnothorax tile: 60cm I feel that the first 2 mentioned fishes will become dinner. Is that true? Planning...

Does anyone know of any aquariums that stock 1-2 inch specimens and are willing to ship them to Singapore? Thanks!

Can the mentioned fishes co-exist in a 600 gallon pond? Asterophysus batrachus: 25cm Spotted gar: 70cm Trachycorystes Trachycorystes: 30cm Cetopsis: 30cm

All right then, I do not want to keep it to see it suffer. Thanks!

I know it has been said that a dourado will kill a gar in the same tank, but is there any way to prevent that? If not, would a brycon live peacefully with the gar, without the gar killing the brycon? Will the brycon/dourado hog the food such that the gar starves to death? Thinking of keeping...
