I have a 8-10 inch suncat in a 100 gallon tank with 2 blue gill, a jack dempsy, a 4 inch hopolo cat, 4 inch pim, a 6 inch channel cat and a 5 inch "clown catfish". None of these fish are getting beat up. Before I moved him to this 100 gallon, when he was smaller, he lived in a 20 long and ...

He does resemble a flowerhorn...Just going by what i was told. JD is smaller, about 5 inches and he is in the pipe and the Pleco is in the middle of the wood, you can see his eye reflection. I had a striped ralph. with my ART and he did well, although he only got to about 4 inches. I tried to put in...

With the recent death of my 18" Asian Red Tail a friend gave me a Jack Dempsy, a large Blue Texas Cic. and a 6 inch Pleco. I have a 100 gallon tank with a bit extra filtration (i run a fluval 404 and a large HOB and air stones) I tried to put a 8-10 inch Sun Cat in there but the Blue Texas woul...

I just moved my Suncat into a 100 gal tank with a Pleco, Jack Dempsey and a Blue Texas Cichlid. The blue Texas wouldn't leave him alone. He didn't outright attack him he just kept poking at him and making him swim around. I had to move him back into the 20gal, he was bruised and scratched up. Though...

a friend is offering me a blue texas cichlid and a largish pleco. I also have the suncat that could benifit from a larger tank but will he get picked on? I was unable to keep him with other fish as he was aggressive towards them. He is also giving me a large amt of wood and i have rocks so shelter w...

Went down to basement and there was ART laying on the floor....dead. Dont know how he got out, I have 4 red bricks on the top and theres only an 1.5 inch gap at the back. I just finished the burial in the back yard. Now what to do with a 100gal tank...... Thanks for all the help and support over the...

I stumbled upon this lil video and thought it was neat. What kind of cat is it?

he seems to be healing alright. Some barbels are missing and he was scraped up on one side. Not very active, just hanging out in his pipe. Im sure he will heal up and be swimming around in no time.

I took the h2o sample the fish store and it checks out fine....guess he just got rowdy
How long can a fish live outside of water? When I picked him up he was sticky but not dry. His gills and mouth were closed pretty tightly too.

While I was at work today my wife called me crying hysterically and screaming. Apparently art jumped out of the tank and was laying on the floor!! Dont know how he did it, there's only a 2 inch gap in the back for the filter. This was at 115pm. I flew home and he was still alive! I tossed him back i...

got everybody moved around yesterday. I moved ART be just putting a little net over the end of his pipe and lifting him out of the 30 and into the 100. He seems to like it. He seems happy in his larger home. I moved the suncat into the 20long and the 30 is now a community tank. Thanks for all the he...

yes i use a conditioner/chlorine remover when i do changes. I just replaced about 1/2 and installed an air stone b/c he is breathing hard. Is this some kind of infection, should i get some drops? Or just really keep up on the quality?

HELP AGAIN!! he got lethargic again and i saw a barbel was bent so i thought nothin of it....tonight i looked and his gills are frayed..AAAGH!! pix: HPIM6252 50.JPG HPIM6253 50.JPG btw im still working on setting up the 100gallon...i have to pour a concrete pad to level the basement floor im going t...

o i forgot to ask: WHats the best way to remove this lil bugger from his humble abode? Do i use a net? Manhandle him out? Last time i moved him he was 10 inches and it was a pain. I used a little net but now hes big, i have a regular fishin net that has no knots, its more like basketball jersy mesh.

Well aRTis doing much better. He is eating normally and swimming around. I did get that 100gallon tank. It is 6foot long and18x18 inches square. It came with a tetra whisper 5, i might have to supplement that, at least a pump to move the water. I need to get a heater, with a heater cover. I think in...

I remember when mine was that small, they grow up so fast ! *sniff*tear*
I just feed him sinking pellets and every now and then feeders. Hes 18inches and about 7 years old
check out pix of mine in the "Asian Red Tail help" thread.

I am working on getting a 100g with stand hood and whisper filter for $300. Im kind of limited by budget. The seller states it is 6ft X 19 inches X 18 inches. What kind of filtration do you recomend? i have heard undergravel is no good for a big dirty fish as it can get clogged and build up bacteria...

can i use crayfish and clams that i catch from local streams and creeks? I didnt know they could eat clams and such. you would need a tank that is about 6 x 12 feet in base, and at least 4 foot deep. I'd start thinking about where you're going to build the base for it now... I have toyed around,half...

I didnt even know what he was when I bought him. I found out from this site. I bought him from a fish store in the mall. At the time I was just buying random catfish to keep in a small tank at my parents in my bed room. I saw this little 5 inch guy and asked about him. They said they dont know what ...

it does get gross pretty fast. Even smelling sometimes. I have been changing the water pretty frequently during his illness and with each 5gallon change he gets a bit better. We will see...
I gotta keep my eyes open for a BIG tank i guess.

Any bigger tank and it will have to go to the basement. Im out of room upstairs but I like having him around to look at. How big of a tank is big enough? I know a.r.t. get huge but can I get away with a 55? As far as the water quality, I used to test pretty often and have always had good tests, I ha...

thats him alright! I only have him in a 30....i know i know he NEEDS a bigger tank...unfortunitly the budget is tight. The only thing in there is some gravel, a 4inch pvc pipe he usually hides in and a chunk of drift wood that a striped ralph. used to live in. surprisingly thats the only fish he did...

I have an 18in long Asian Redtail. He/she (not sure) is about 6-8 years old. I feed him feeder goldfish and sinking pellets and he is pretty active, even begging at night for food. About 3-4 days ago I noticed on his left side 2 broken barbels and an eye injury. There are no tank mates so i can only...
