This thread is very helpful. I have one as well it’s still settling in only had it about 2.5-3 weeks and it spent the first 2 days in the back corner of the tank by my filter intake and then it eventually moved under the diagonal slate and since then I ve never seen it come out. It either lays on t ...

Agreed let them settle in feed them well and really tend to your tank as these really love cool fresh water with lots of flow. Another good sign is to watch the length of their “whiskers” the longer whiskers will be male and short will be female. I have these and blue phantoms as well and am cur ...

Any help ??

Hi everyone!! I recently moved my phantom colony of L128 and L200s to my 65 gal which only houses them. I’m running a fluval 406 / a 40 gal submersible filter / a 60 gal sponge filter as well. It’s a fairly deep sand bed and this tank has been running for a few years now never lost the cycle on it. T ...

Anyone know what this splotching is or could be from ??

Thanks I may have to replace them. I have a question as I ve found that my hifin greens are showing dark splotching.

Update 65 gal stock has been rehomed except for the vampire pleco which I ll move into my 40 breeder with my Ethelwynnae peacocks temporarily.

Removing plants and coral from filtration to lower the ph in the tank.

The bloodworms I used to get them to eat something. They ve only received them 3 times in a month once. One was a treatment feed. The other was to add into the repashy on first feeding of that and the third was a feeding for some peacocks I also had in the tank that I received as well. The leftovers ...

I think from research you could have still done water changes by just syphoning the water out from a back corner or at the surface and by taking the tank temp and then taking faucet temp and equalizing that to the exact degree and reducing the pressure of the return. I know that most ppl don’t like t ...

The tank they are housed in is 34x18x18 inches Just keep an eye on the thick sand bed, I personally wouldn't use one more than an inch thick, some people have had issues caused by decomposing food/waste in deep sand beds, some people swear by them! Just something to think about :-). Yeh the tank ...

Great !! Thanks I appreciate your help and experience. It’s a possibility your tank and mine are the same length it looks similar how big was it ?? I’m gonna see if I can get some RO water just in case but I don’t think I need it because I ve had to add crushed coral to my filtration just to get it t ...

Awesome !!! Figuring out the sex is why I decided to get 10 of them as I let the odds work in my favor cause no way in hell out of all these wild caught I didn’t get at least 1-2 female or 1-2 males. The current you have is it created by a powerhead or just by your filter. Could I see a photo of y ...

Hi everyone this is my first created thread so bare with me. I have a fairly decent sized colony of L128s commonly Blue Phantoms and about 4 L200s Hifin green phantoms. I ve been doing a lot of research for the last 2 months on requirements for keeping them. I ve found a few contradictions on how ...

I advise you all to purchase some repashy superfoods. It serves multiple purposes for a great base of making and serving any food to wild caughts. I was unsure if mine were eating and if they were who was and who wasn’t. But with the repashy the means to mix in fruits and veggies is easier and can b ...

I think this is a gross exaggeration. My wife is the type who has 2 pluggins in every room and oil diffusers on every counter and table top she can fit. If my dogs fart she makes me look for poop and wipe out their kennels and when I first got Repashy / bottom scratcher / morning wood / Soilent ...
