What a nice tank! I really appreciate the feedback nonetheless, it's always better for there to be two opinions rather than one especially since mostly all my knowledge is from the internet too:). I once saw this article about bichirs and they kept one in water and one out of water and tested...

Update: I ended up getting a 125g (6ft long)!

Okay, I think I'll just stick to my bichirs & rope fish then, with a possible pleco... I really don't want to rehome them since I love their prehistoric look and it doesn't sit right with me for some unknown reason to buy hundreds of dollars worth of schooling fish for such a large tank...

Wow, flowerthorns are expensive! I like your idea of discus and clown loaches though.:) What do you think about this for the 125g; 2 delhezi bichirs 1 Senegal bichir 2 rope fish Temporary BGK fish 3-5 discus 3-6 clown loaches And either a pleco (I love the green phantoms, but they are pricey)...

I have a 55g that the goldfish and dojo loach(s) are being put in, I guess the giant danio can go with them:). About the flowerhorns, I read that they are aggressive, could I really keep one with the bichirs and rope fish without too many problems? Could I keep one oscar and one flowerhorn...

Yes, I'm planning on picking up two more this weekend. Do you think the 125 can hold the bichirs and other fish for life (without the BGK fish)?

Okay, thank you!

I started with a 5 gallon, a 10g, then added a 5.5 gallon, then a 20g, then I got rid of them all. After about a year I got another 5g, 2.5, and then a 30g, then 2.5g, then a 55g, and a 10g, and now I just bought a 125g! (And am also starting to set up ANOTHER 3gallon shrimp tank. Watch out when...

Okay, thank you for letting me know about that

Yes, that makes sense. I originally planned to get more giant danios but the store didn't have any more at the moment, as soon as I get them in the 125 gallon (I'm setting it up this weekend) I am planning on getting a small school of the danios. Do you think they could live in the 125 for life...

The 125 is 72.5″ (6ft)L x 18.5″ W x 23.4″ H I can keep the dojo with the oranda in the 55 gallon without a problem. Do you think the 125 is a good size for the rest? It's a fairly large tank luckily:)

A few weeks ago I was able to buy some fish for my future large tank and I was hoping some of you would have some suggestions. As of right now I have a 2" black ghost knife fish with 2 delhezi bichirs (3-4"), 1 Senegal bichir (2"), 2 rope fish (12"), 1 giant Danio (2.5"), 1 dojo loach (5") and 1...

Okay, I appreciate the information, I can plan a little easier knowing about how long it takes for him to grow and what size tank he can/can't stay in. :)

Okay, so you'd suggest I rehome him when he gets to the 10" mark, correct? Also, how long do you think it might take the BGK to get to that size? Thank you

I have read that Hikari pellets are a great diet for many fish... other than online research I don't have any personal experience with this food. Good luck!

I recently bought a 2" black ghost knife fish. As of right now, he is in a 60 gallon aquarium with my 2 Senegal bichirs (3-4"), 2 rope fish (12"), 2 giant danios (2"), 1 dojo loach (5"), and 3 adult bronze corys. Most of the fish in this tank (bichirs, rope fish, and BGK fish are very calm and...

For me it was barbs (gold and cherry) I added only 6 of them to my 60gallon community tank and they took the spotlight and scared my other fish to the sides of the aquarium. Luckily they didn't do anything bad (like in other people's stories) other than not match the rest of the fish in activity...

World Wide Fish and Pets has been great for me. I ordered a little while ago and all my fish came in alive:) The owner was also extremely helpful over the phone (It's located in Connecticut and I am in California). And I am extremely pleased with the overall experience, this was my first time...

I was only able to get it up to 84-85 degrees, but it has been exactly a week and so far so good, I'm going to keep the temperature up for about another week and fingers crossed it kills the white spot.

Hello, this is just an update, so far all of the spots on the fish are gone (I ended up getting a 200w heater) and the temperature went up to 84 degrees. I'm going to leave the temp. high for at least 5 more days and hope that I am through with the outbreak of ich and that it doesn't appear...

That's great, I couldn't figure out how to delete one as I accidentally posted it twice.? Alright, (again, thank you for the help) I'll bump it up to 86° today, I'm really hopeful that it will go to 86° but if it doesn't I'll try what you said (worst things worst I'll try to get ahold of an...

This is great information! It helped me improve my understanding on how to treat my ich outbreak, thank you!

Okay, thanks

Alright, I'll do that...thank you, I really appreciate the help, the fish being sick and stressed is stressing me out??. I'll let you know how its going in hopefully about a week (unless it starts getting even worse). Once again I really appreciate the feedback from everyone, thank you!

Oh, I do remember reading that most strains of ich can't survive with salt in the water, so do you suggest not adding it with the risk of the ich increasing or adding the salt just in case even though the kuhlis and eel are sensitive to it?

Thank you so much, I ended up going to the store and buying a 55 gallon (150 watt) adjustable temperature heater as well as a air pump and set them up in my tank (I set the heater to 80° and will slowly make it higher throughout the next two days untill it reaches 86°). With these supplies do...

Okay, the you! Just out of curiosity if I don't add any medications (like ich-x, quick cure, etc.) Or aquarium salt at all but just increase the temperature to 84° then would my fish fight off the ich by themselves/the ich would die or would it still kill the fish Eventually unless I add salt?

Okay, I did do 1/2 the dose and they acted funny so I stopped... thank you so much for the suggestion, I'll search up the temp and see what I can do. I just got back from Petco and got a 55g adjustable heater and an air pump for circulation and to oxygenize the water. I might try salt in a...

Hi, I have a 55 gallon planted aquarium that has been set up for about two years now, I recently bought new kuhli loaches for my LFS and unfortunately didn't quarantine them.??‍♀️ I now have ich and it is starting to spread among my other fish... here is my stocking: 55 gallon planted: 3...
