Brought 2 ID sharks 2day both looked normal coloured however 1 changed when put in the tank i don't think it's albino as it's eyes look normal is this a platinum ID shark?

I have a goonch and tigrinus that will only eat if food is dropped right in front of them. Do you have recommendations for a tool (i was thinking a metal pole with a clamp of the end or something) that i can use to reach the bottom with food? Thanks - Nick

This is going to be the thread where I will post everything and anything about my somewhat South American community aquarium. I will provide updates, videos, pictures and more. I think you will enjoy seeing my tank. This has always been a dream of mine to own MY very own 6' aquarium and with my...

So this morning, I noticed my black ear shark catfish was twitching while swimming. He wasn't going crazy or anything; he was swimming very slowly, and every now and then he would make some jerky movements that were definitely not normal. His mouth would open whenever he twitched; it almost...

So after a lot of financial distress over the past couple of years I am finally at a stable and comfortable point. I have bought a 125 gallon tank and it's currently cycling and will be for around the next few weeks. I got a peacock Eel from a friend who bought it on impulse and had neither the...

I have 2 4-5 inch gulpers in a 55 and I just saw 1 latched onto the other ones side. I tapped on the glass and he stopped but I was just wondering if this was normal? It's been a week since iv fed them so they are due to be fed but iv never seen this happen in the few months iv had them.

So I've had my black ear pangasius for a little while now, and he is starting to gain confidence as a member of my tank. However, at random times, he'll go absolutely nuts for no reason. He will swim from one side of my tank to the other at lightning speed. He'll hit the glass so hard I can hear...

Hi guys- So I recently purchased a beautiful pangasius catfish that was simply labeled "black ear pangasius." I checked one of my fish books and found the iridescent pangasius, which he kind of looks like. However, the iridescent pangasius lacks the black spot behind the gills that my catfish...

Hey all, For any of you that keep South American fish, there is a massive field guide coming out for identifying fish from the Amazon, Orinoco, and Guianas regions. This should be a major upgrade from books focusing on only the commonly-imported aquarium fish. Really, nothing this in-depth has...

Hi! It's my first time owning a monster fish species and I may have got a little too carried away at the fish shop and bought 2 BGK and a catfish (Clarias Batrachus) at once. The bgk and catfish are all around 3 inches. They were fine for the first few days each doing their own thing but today...

I'm back! And trying my best to pick up where I left off. :) In keeping with my tradition of naming my fish after Game of Thrones characters, and in honor of how much yellow this fish is beginning to display, I decided to name him after the fabled leader of the Golden Company: Maelys the...

I'm getting a 75 gallon tank Thursday and I'm not sure what to put in it. It will eventually be the sump in my tank I'm completely at the end of summer. (7ft x 3ft x 2ft tall) I don't really have any filtration on me but could I use it as a grow out for a Motoro and Ripshaw Catfish? Opinions?

Had them a little over a week now, can't get shrimp until this weekend but how long should I go with them not eating ( assuming they don't eat this weekend ) before I just get feeders? I have 6 neon tetras in there they still havnt ate, so could I get more or do you think they'd eventually...

Lots of posts of TSNs on here, so I thought I'd share a couple photos of some great looking P. tigrinum. I came across these at an aquarium exporter in Peru where they had been recently collected from the Rio Nanay. The largest was about 40 inches, while the smaller two were 30 - 35.
