Hi tdnp They cetainly grow very quickly. A friend of mine brought them and didnt like them so we offered to take them on. At this point we were new to fish keeping and didn't realise the size they grew. Two years later and ours are now well over a foot long and kept in a 6 foot tank. I think...

Hello again, just found this while looking up info on Pangasius

Hello My red tailed black shark loves to eat courgette, although he has to be quick before the pleco get hold of it. James

Hello, Is it possible to put too much air into a tank? I put a post up a while ago about my pangasius which kept bloating up and expelling air at the top of the tank. He has been ok for a while but the yesterday he was really bloated again. I noticed that the water level was low both the...

I have a group of 5 clowns, they spend a great deal of time under the bog wood in my tank. Although they tend to come out during late afternoon. Its amazing how they all hide away under the same bit of wood. The tank looks empty when they are all hiding. They are cool fish though as each one has...

i had crabs , ooopss better rephrase that i had a couple of red clawed crabs in my tank and they were really cool. They didn't bother anything eles in the tank and were really good entertainment. Just make sure that there is no way for them to escape e.g. a really good lid to your tank. I came...

Hello another question for all those fish experts out there. I currently using an Ehiem wet and dry filter which contains only EHFISUBSTRAT filter media. Where do people stand on filter media? is this stuff effective? Would i be better off with the hula hoop type media in one tray and maybe...

I used the whole course but as its such a big tank it didnt last that long (3 treatments) would it be better to keep treating him? James

Does any one know if you can still get spares for hyflo pumps. Or any one that still sells that style of piston pump. Its a really well engineered piston pump that makes a really relaxing noise instead of a buzzzzzzz If not can anyone recommend a silent diaphram pump as i can't stand the...

Interpet swimbladder treatment

Thanks He is doing it every two minutes or so. He looks quite bloated though.

sorry He is still swimming normally apart from this burping at the top

he swims to the top and then you can here an audible noise of him expelling the air. He also has bubbles of air coming out his gills quite often under the water as well. All the rest of the fish in the tank are fine i have a similar sized pangasius in the tank with him and he is also fine.

I have a very burpy pangasius catfish, He keeps swimming to the top and expelling air. I have tried treating him with a swimbladder medicine but he is still burping. Any idea TIA James
