I'm going to get some massivore for mine. He gobbles down the little carnivore discs like freakin skittles. It's so fun to watch him try to find them though, blind little guy, lol. He will eat frozen bloodworms and shrimp pellets now. I like the idea of a variety diet... My other catfish, and...

Would massivore be better for my ec? Or should I stick with carnivores?

My endlicheri likes live mosquito guppies, hikari carnivore, and shrimp pellets

My shovelnose is tiny... only maybe 3 in. And that's being generous... for an "everyday" diet, should I start him off on the catfish pellets, carnivore pellets, or break up massivore tabs? I hear the massivore is what they should eat when bigger, but I haven't heard anything about babies. In...

8x14x11. The fish is all fins though... like almost half of his length is just from the base of his tail to the tip. No deformaties. He/she is so young she didn't even have bristles when I got it, just super long fins. And now that I actually see it on a ruler, 4in was a little generous...

For the record, the 3gal tank is mainly to get baby fish started growing before I throw them into my 30 or 60 gal.

Interesting... I always had him in the 3 gal with the intention of moving him when he grows... but in the year ive had it, he's only grown from about 1 in to about 4 with fins and everything. It caught me by surprise because no BN ive ever had grew this slow. So when I went online to look ot up...

EDIT: I decided this post would be better as it's own topic.

Thanks. Now time for another question about my shovelnose... but I should prolly jump over to the catfish section for it.

I am also curious about the nutritional value of mosquito guppies, as I am in pretty much the same boat. Except it's my catfish that need snacks. I know some people hate live food, but Its hard to pass up a thriving, and FREE supply of fish food. Also ghost shrimp... they are super cheap and I...

I'm planning on either putting mine in the top tier of my koi pond(nothing but mosquito guppies and goldfish in that pool) or buying like a 350 gal tank to keep him and some other massive fish I may obtain... although a 400gal catfish tank is starting to sound pretty cool. Hopefully when he...

I have an albino bristlenose in my 3gal shrimp tank. The albino variation doesn't shorten their life any, but it stunts their growth to about 4-6 in. Max as an adult. So if you get him(or her, lol) small, it should be a long time before it gets too big for the tank, if even at all.

And as far as lowering your RCS population, shrimp are at like the bottom of the food chain, so if they will fit in a fishes mouth... they will probably end up in there. Kuli loaches look cool, like to hide, and LOVE shrimp. One of my favorites. They might completley wipe out your shrimp though...

I had an upside down cat before... now after reading nobody's post, I'm starting to think mine was a fluke. The one I had got added to a mostly ram filled tank with some loaches and a few other types of fish. He ate everything. Untill an even meaner red tail catfish we got at a later date grew...

As far as my experiences have gone, shrimp aren't like fish in the sense that they will eat till they die. Generally I hear you're supposed to feed your shrimps treats in amounts that they can finish in about an hour or two. So far I have had no problems while sticking to these times, but I...

Well the shrimp should be safe from the mollies. The catfish and zebras however are omniverous, and eat insect larvae, etc in the wild. They should be small enough to not be a problem, but can easily gang up and kill a shrimp... especially for the 24hrs after a molt. Shrimp in general are very...

If you can track down some endlers, they will be an awesome addition. They stay pretty tiny, and have crazy colorings and markings. On top of it, they are livebearers! I've always been a fan of microrasboras. Rummynose tetras look pretty cool too. And there's always the option of shrimp....

Although I'm new to these forums, I have been keeping fish almost my entire life. I have set up a shrimp tank recently and have added some cardinal tetras and endlers for color, along with a rescue mickey mouse platy from a friend's dying tank. Which brings me to my next point... one of the...
