Hi there, I'm new to this forum. I just want to know will its right fin grow back?



What might have caused its tail to turn white? The aquarium fish store that I went told me it's because of temperature and asked me to add some yellow treatment syrup and some anti-bacterial salt into the water. Will it really work?

I buy feeder fish from big farm cost around 3-5 cents per piece depending on size. They call it leko or low grade carp fry or something like that. I found out that some species of bichirs only active and eat at night and some are active all the time.

I bought twice. First time I bought bigger than 1 inch ones and they charge me 5 cents per piece, I took 800 pieces. Yesterday my cousin help me go buy, I ask him take those smaller than 1 inch ones because I got myself some small/young bichirs. This time it's around 3 cents and I bought 900 pieces. I'm not sure if there's any minimum amount.

Nope, don't have tank, place them in those "tong biru" where factories keep their chemicals and most of them dies. Everyday throw those dead ones give tortoises to eat. Still figuring how to lower the death rate. Maybe next time separate put into few tong biru and change the pipe water to river water. This time de die more (>300 today) maybe because 100% pipe water + anti chlorine. Hmm... Any idea?

I always make sure there are feeder fish in the aquariums. I don't mind my fish eat a lot just as long as they grow

10 inch or 10 cm? I bought a pair around 10-12 cm for RM 50 each. They are like not growing because I stares at them everyday.

They will dash and jump out of water if something startled them. Mine almost jumped out when I was changing water just now. As soon as I saw it, the head was already on the corner of the aquarium. Used my palm to smack it back down to the water and put back the cover.

You guys eat sushi before? Know unagi? I want to ask what do the eels eat? It's freshwater ones.

How about living environment? Need sand or something? I see them keep rushing here and there non stop banging wall and trying to dig into the stones.

They eat a little bit of bloodworms. Feeders shrimp like too fast for them, then I get a dead shrimp and peel off the shell and one of them ate it.



PVC tubes WORKS, they hiding inside.


Er... Those you eat at sushi king? Yes, I mean it.

Which do you mean? The ones in the pictures are mine

Smaller than my little finger, guess it's still fry

I'm not sure where because my dad got it from the exporter farm

How big? Location secret? Come on...

My fatty die jor

Go out a while come back then it die jor~ Another one like dying also, I don't know what is happening so I put it to another aquarium. Hope it will survive.

I would put some knife fish, arapaimas, alligator gars and some RTC, then buy 10k feeder fish pour all inside.


2 months ago when I bought them, they are less than 6 inch, now 7.5 inch already.

I saw those at Ikia Aquapet in Melaka, Ornate RM 60 and Delhezi RM 30. Around 4-5 inch.

Can red arowana be put together with spotted gars?

Red aro will bully my gars? Even if the gars are bigger?

Sigh... One of my Delzehi just died.

Thanks for the info, will try. I'm not worry about feeder fish because I always keep extra. And new record this time is 0 death rate of my feeder fish. Use those empty drum (tong biru) and river water + oxygen pump will be enough.

Spotted gars hard to com with other fish. My clown knife fish was bitten, the flesh and tail koyak here and there. Don't dare put aro inside liao.
Fibre glass tank what color? Blue or white?
