    Oh, and the limnophila sessiliflora are looking amazing. Good job (my favourite plant btw).

    Hey Bud I just got a Fahaka Puffer about the size of my hand in a 75 gallon tank. I need help scaping it. I have regular pool sand substrate. What plants are good to use low tech? And whatever other tips you might have for me would be appreciated. Thanks

    Hiya I love your new Bichir, he/she looks great in the puffer tank. Those killi fish are beautiful, look at their colours 😍😍. Thanks for sharing 👍

    I understand that this is an old video but I am wanting to say I have had a fahaka puffer with a fire eel plecos Buenos Aires tetras ECT I have not lost one fish and they have been altogether for 5 years now the fahaka I have does not even nip at their fins so it's really cool to see others like you have him with tank mates
    (The fahaka I hav sleeps next to my fire eel every night haha)

      Would it be best to put tank mates with the super small or wait till they grow a bit? Iv got a baby fahaka I wanted to keep with congo tetras, a few synadontis, and possibly an African knife fish. Any input would be appreciated.

    A Belated Happy Birthday Robert! The news of your infamy was late in arriving at the colonies.
    Do these fish get along still? I am getting a young Fahaka tomorrow and all I can find says anything I put in there is going to be a Filet O'Fish sandwich. This is the type of video I totally respect, well done!!!

    I love this video because I have literally the same set up. Senegal Bichir with a ghost knife and fahaka. I put the knifefish and Bichir in a different tank because I thought the fahaka would mess them up now I know it might be ok!

    My puffer bit my bichirs tail as well. As long as the fish I put with him are smaller than he is I've had success but he attacked my discus, my flag cichlid and tried to get at my 8 inch red shoulder when he was about 1 1/2 inches so I just house him with some panda garra right now

    My Fahaka never ate it’s dither fish. Now that it’s bigger I have it in a bigger tank with two large Hoplo catfish no issues except some minor nipping.

    My exact same killi would eat shrimp the same size as itself.. as in fully grow cherry’s. 1 inch, they folded them in half. And spat the shells out once they squished the meat out. Entire colony eaten in 2 days.
    Not all killis are like that though

    I've had one awhile now and know why he huddles in corners. Try a tank with him alone awhile. Watch him blossom, then get some FAST endlers when you get him in his 175 gallon and big and confident 👏👏👏💙 that be boss💙 They are so cool swimming around and confident 💙💙 mine for 5 inches in a 55 gallon alone from fry stage in 2 months. 🤯🤯🤯🤯I love my Rafiki. He is still alone now.

    Is this tanks still running the bichir fahaka combo? Curious if it worked out long term.

    • @AquariumAdventures
      @AquariumAdventures  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It didn't i'm afraid - worked for quite a while, but then one day the Fahaka decided he didn't want to share the tank and took a chunk out of the bichir!

    I think a lot of fish are idiots 😆 a lot are smart but a lot are idiots like people, I have fish that will want to hang out with fish that clearly don’t like them that will bite or nip at them and they still continue to do it. 🤦‍♂️ all they have to do is hang out all the way on the other side of the tank lol
