Never kept Stewartii but once I quarantined 10 Channa Argus for 5 days before sending them to buyer. They were 2'' (5 cm) long and they accepted live blood worms (after quarantine also). So I suppose...

Its a good question indeed after a sudden death of 5 neon tetras in my tank overnight after turning on anti-mosquite device. Only tetras. No other mere reason I found - just one parameter was...

I wouldn't be so delighted until I know exactly the scientific name of the species. EBAY's " LIVE FRESHWATER CLAMS WATER FILTERS KOI POND aquarium fish tank feeders" is nothing specific. Besides, in...

This behavior can sometimes be observed with no consequnces or sign of bad health (like too long sleeping or attemts to escape the tank). MS show quite diversified and sophisticated behaviour.

While I fully support madagascariensis's advice, especially concerning large clams, which require separate feeding and they dig substrate in such way that you would face a new landscape each morning...

By the way, do you have any clue how did you get them in your tank? What plants? The thing is that these creatures love cool sping waters. This one I pictured in the mountain river.

Well, lets pretend there is no shrimps there :) Rams (Mikrogeophagus ramirezi) are the first applicants

Very inspiring :)
Please share some more information like year-round temperature, food, husbandry, etc.
Thanks

hi, this is Pangasius sutchi

Well it seems like you are doing a right job there and all answers to your questions "Yes". However, 4.0 for ammonia after almost 1 month period might mean that you still have some traces of organic...

This is normal for swordtail to bring 2-3 broods from one insemination and obviously your hi-fin didn't impregnate a f. yet.
I believe the time hasn't come yet for your worry. However, if such...

something is wrong with url above. click here to see the proper result

In a broader view, an isolation of some fish can cause stressed behaviour resulting in a faster ending... I know for sure that one of such fish is glass catfish Kryptopterus, and there should be more...

small vivarium could be an option

Well I just wanted to add that such "behaviour" of your UGF is normal for any UGF system. Only RUGF can work long with no need of nasty cleanings since already filtered water goes through substrate.

Wow, such a complicated system you employed. Frankly, I can hardly imagine UGF working under sand bed. Could you please share some pictures (or url if you already posted it somewhere). In particular,...

I guess you don't catch my idea. I never said fresh water will hurt fish. If you can be sure of water quality and fact that before\after params don't change, go ahead with any % of pwc. We are here...

50% water change is really huge change, which could be justified in case something is really wrong with water parameters in your tank (ammonia after overfeed or death, accidental chemical poisong...

The only assumption coming is water change. When did you make last water change?

50% water change weekly is a huge change. Is it your nitrate level (over>50) that makes you perform such huge changes? If so, then good alternative wouild be making 20% change twice a week. In case...

So far the only reason for huge drastic water changes I see in this case are is smelling water. Test readings described above, stocking and "touch of cloudy" shouldn't be reason for 50% changes,...

Thats Great! Good luck :)

Brhino, could you please describe the % of the water change and frequency you used to follow?

Now I got your point :) I kept rams and cribs in community tanks, and since cribs were super-productive and ready to spawn each month with all related consequences, their behaviour was more...

First of all, raising kribs in a community tank is nearly impossible. If you are indeed to breed them, please provide separate tank, and your question will be resolved. Second, even though each fish...
