LONG POST: Here's the situation... Mako, my odoe has never eaten live food before. Recently, I rehomed his bichir tank mate to someone who has a bigger tank. The tank is planted and has driftwood so alot of hiding space. I recently bought SAE, barilius ardens and black phantom tetra. He had...

I was wondering whether anyone knows where I could order some marble gar (aka Boulengerella maculata), a false gar, in the US. So far, it's out of stock at some of the common online retailers. Thank you!

Hey y’all! My Tank has had some fungal problems recently, which I’m guessing is due to (maybe?) some ammonia spikes. One of the most prevalent issues is this skirt tetra right here. There’s a few black dots here or there on one or two other skirt tetras, but this dude’s got it bad. A few of my...

HEADSTANDERS are a loosely related group of South American ‘characins’, in two families (ANOSTOMIDAE and CHILODONTIDAE). Their name comes from the habit of frequently standing in near vertical position, and performing antics while feeding (sometimes upside down), hiding, or otherwise just...

I have 6 of what I think are Striped Pike Characin, Boulngerella lateristriga, all about 6" or a little bit more. I got these by mistake today and have no system for them in the long term (really even the short term). Let me know if you're interested - I won't ship unless you want to provide...

Firstly, sorry for the dirty acrylic. Feedings are wet and wild over here and I didn’t expect my Tat to be so bold today. For the past few weeks I’ve seen what I thought was my Tat taking bites of food (mainly shrimp) from the corner of my eye. Once or twice during my pellet feedings I could...

I noticed this red “thing” on my African Pikes tail and I don’t know what it is. Can some tell me if this is dangerous? I’ve never seen anything like it before. I’ve attached some images. If anyone knows what this is please help. Thank You.

Okay, so, I've absolutely never seen this before - but I recently just bought a pair (Male and female) of kirbensis cichlids for my 29 gallon community. I have had a school of 6 diamond tetras for since I got the 29 up and running, and the leader of this school is the biggest, flashiest diamond...

Hello! Wanted to share a little video of my red wolf. Got him off eBay for about $70. Quarantined for a couple of months in a 10G. Now in a 29G by itself until I figure out if I want to mix him in with my polys... The video is from April, since then he has put on maybe an inch? I feed him...

Today I write to my fellow MFKers with deep sorrow. I am absolutely devastated.. didn't realize I had truly become quite attached to this beast.. Last night, I struggled for 3 hours trying to save this monster.. I realized something was wrong as the power to my tanks were off so I go check the...
