Hi all, Does anyone know why my plec and both walking catfish shoot to the top of the tank then back to the bottom as if they are gulping for air.? I thought it was the water parameters , but they are fine.

Hi all , Is filter carbon really needed?

It takes years of taste testing to find what you like . Are you sure you have never been tempted lol. Go on turn to the dark side.

I did the same and took out the carbon. Is carbon really needed? If so i would buy a small external filter that sits on the side of the tank and put the carbon in that . Makes it easy to change. But most of the bods on here say leave the carbon out.

My tank has plenty of caves and hiding places. The only chasing i see is between the shark and the convict but its not aggresive. the stay in there own areas most of the time . I also have 2 walking catfish which i thought would be a problem but they dont bother anyone. Im trying the therory...

My tank is 180 liters. about a meter in length. Cool fish, they dont seem to bother the others. I know these fish get big so i am going to upgrade in the future to a 350/400 liter tank. At the moment they are only a couple of inches long and i have them 5 months. They are mad at feeding time ...

I bought them at nottcuts. Im working on the theory that if they all grow up together they will get use to each other. The red tailed shark use to chase everything around the tank , now he doesnt really bother. The 3 tiger barbs who use to nip fins dont bother anymore , infact they have teamed...
