Neo on our site? It's like having fish royalty here, I saw the tank on MFK looking good.

Your gourami looks weird or is it the pics? The tail is very orange.

Look up intructions on google on how to properly clean and put together the filter.

I need to do 50% everytime or more 25% my fish would slap me.

Sounds like you got a dud. Mine holds exect temp from the moment it is on, flashing if out of limit. The only issue I have had is if I drain the tank and foget to unplug it, but pulling the plug and sticking it back in resets it. That's the thing of course I unplug it everytime I do a water change. I do 50% water changes every 4 to 5 days so I have no choice but to unplug it.

I used to keep larger CA/SA cichlids I got rid of most of my fish a little while ago but I found they were fine and the colors were insane if you kept up on water changes, I wouldn't worry about changing the water in anyway.

Yes they are, all over youtube, discovery network, and national geographic.

Thats the one I was talking about.

I have to say something about the rena smart heaters. They work great and are ideal for ray tanks buuuut, they tank about a week to get to a desired temp and they don't keep it constant. Evertime it would get to the ideal temp I would have to do a water change the day before anyways so I think they're useless.

Um I've honestly seen a betta there for $100 lol.

Haha rusting glass and rocks, its just harmless brown algae.

Scotts payara is my old payara I kept it in a 125 with bala sharks and silver dollars and they all schooled together, it freaked the hell out of my juvi arowana but it was quite a site.

Scott get some bala sharks or silver dollars they school with payaras.

Its a scomb.

still waiting for photos. Not fair to say you have such a beautiful fish without sharing him with us. Hey hold your horses I want to wait until he's settled in, he's a tiny bit upset right now from the move. I want to do a couple water changes and start feeding him so he doesn't look all sad and raggy.

Giant gourami apreciation thread? I got him from a guy down 66th nw, he's beautiful.

Would you believe I just picked out of these beauties up? Cost be nothing but gas money, it's a wicked specimen too.

:drool: IF you ever sell them please pm me! Wow these are nice fish.

The covers will probably fall off when they shed their stingers but in some cases can harm the rays by building up dirt underneith it and cause infection so grab some tweezers and try your best to gently pull it off. Btw what kinda rays did you get?

High temps keep desease at bay and heals wounds faster. My fish are top quality and in great health as a result of warm temps, fequent water changes and good food.

DEfinitly go to Scott for rays, top quality, awesome prices, he does trades on almost anything too. I have a couple pearl motoros from him, I had a motoro too but after keeping the pearl motoros I never want a motoro again because they're so boring looking compared to the other rays. He lives way out in drayton valley but I'm sure he'd meet you somewhere.

The larger the footprint the better, go for 6' x 4' if you can. I make sure there is tons of circulation when they rays thrash around or hide in the sand the waste and small food particles get sucked into the three cansister I have. I also use a heater with a protective cover to make sure the rays stay safe, they can burn very easily. The temperature, the higher the better I keep mine at around 86F it keeps my arowana happy aswell. For filtration the more the better too, I have about 265 gallons of filtration on my 125 gallon tank (the rays are still young.) When it comes to feeding, a fat stingray is a happy stingray, nightcrawlers, market shrimp, massivore pellets, and especially smelt are some food stingrays usually take a liking to. I feed my rays Hikari Massivore pellets, uncooked prawn, and a few nightcrawlers every now and then, I feed three times a day. There's alot more too keeping rays but my computer is about to die. Just remember keep the water as clean as possible, feed lots with a variety and the more space the better.

whats your user name on animal world?

Nice buddy!

I found the exact page that pic came from and the name was right under it... Also that is the new name, it used to be known or thought to be part of Neetroplus group but after they examined the jaw and teeth formations it was moved to the Archocentrus family and then Cryptoheros but now the fish is in a monotypic sub-genus. The name is still Cryptoheros Panamensis.
