HUGE BLUE ACARA AND BICHIR ADDED TO MY FISH ROOM

[@gregleuze6657]

My Electric Blue Acara and my Denison Barbs come to the front of the tank when I come by. That is nice coloration on your fish. When acclimating the fish to the tank do you add tank water to the bag to acclimate them to the new water conditions or do you just float and add? What you are doing seems to be working for you but was just curious. That is a beautiful tank room. Just need a leather chair in the middle to relax and watch the fish.

the king of DIY has a birchir with some rays

[@piyushg1238]

Sir if you want to grow clown loaches fast here is a idea you can try Find a mud pond near by and let them be by them self and just feed them ,they will grow vigorously Love from India ❤️🇮🇳❤️

[@joealyjim3029]

It is illegal to put non native fish in ponds unless you own the pond. It also wont survive outside in the UK when the temp gets to -3*C or lower in winter.

[@iHeartOiSkanks]

@@joealyjim3029 I’m sure he can get a loicense for that.

[@joealyjim3029]

@@iHeartOiSkanks nope, there is no license that allows you to stock ponds that arent your own with non native fish. There is also no license that changes the climate to be comparable to that of india.

All good he’s getting big now will be moving him soon 👍🏻👍🏻

Morning Mick, I’ve just brought a brand new tank that got no lid (love that style) any ideas to stop fish jumping out?

[@MicksFishUk]

Hey mate have you looked at the Red Sea jump nets they are pretty good

[@TheBailz77]

So close to 10k mate love it....

[@jordonhewitt9721]

Love your videos dude and just need abit off help with my 150 liter tank did a 25% water change on Thursday and my water is still not clear I washed everything but still not clearing up

[@MicksFishUk]

How long are you leaving the lights on for mate? And thanks mate appreciate it 👍🏻. Also up the water changes to 50% once a week

[@jordonhewitt9721]

Thank you for replying back I leave the lights on for roughly 14 hours a day I will try the 50% water change from now on

[@MicksFishUk]

Wow mate that way to long. What will happen is the algae will start to grow with the lights on that’s much and you will get blooms etc. I have mine on 6 hours a day and that’s it. It will make a massive difference give it a go 👍🏻 hope this helps

[@jordonhewitt9721]

Bichir go well with rays man heaps of people keep them together here in australia

[@polypterusbichir6837]

I am not sure of that.. i saw more than ones bichirs biting the Ray and after that died of getting stabbed by the ray🤔

I loved your old one that was the biggest EB-Acura i have seen so far

[@craigthomson8550]

you have no space for rays

[@KlX3]

That an endlicheri bichir and it's a lower jaw bichir. Lower jaw bichir doesn't go well with pleco.

[@shanehudson8971]

Hello, iv recently joined the hobby a few months back and I have started off with a 54ltr tank. I have 3 Cory's, 1 brusslenose pleco, and 7 male guppies with no famles as I don't want to deal with fry just as of yet. But recently I'v been getting a at least 1 death every 2 days or so with my guppies nothing else. I got my water tested and everything was fine there's nothing on the fish visually and iv treated my water with a bacteria/parasite and fungus treatment. And Iv had another death since then. But iv recently noticed one of my guppies staying at the surface with its mouth open. I know this can be due to either under oxygenation in the tank or over. I was using a Air stone and also filter but iv recently removed the air stone and just kept the filter to oxygenat the tank. Have you got any idea or clues to what this could be as iv tried explaining it to my local halls aquatics and they have no idea.

Thats an endlicheri bichir. They will get big and eat anything close to fitting in their mouth. I have 4 and in 7 months they went from 2” to 10”

[@voultronix761]

Wow, my senegal bichir only grows half an inch a month

[@TheAsianOmg]

You should give a visit to birchen grove garden Center they got a fish shop in there I’m no expert but they got soo soo much fish there and it’s not too far it’s in NW London

[@DanielKeepingFish]

That's a nice big EBA. Get a couple more man, mine just bred for the first time recently and was really interesting observing the whole process. Dunno how I've not found your channel before but glad I stumbled across it. Doesn't seem to be many of us from daan saf UK. Take it easy man and take care.

[@MicksFishUk]

Thanks buddy appreciate it 👊👊

[@kuroinc2321]

That's an endlicheri bichir, and bichir with pleco is really not a good combination, usually the pleco will suck the slime coat of the bichir.

[@IBreeeZzTV]

I second this.

I feel like the best personn to ask is stingray biotics. Or rod at preditory fins. They can answer all your stingray questions.

Hello micks fish.... I currently live in Chelmsford Essex I will be picking up a tank and it comes with fish..... I don't want the fish but would like to make at least a little bit of something off them as it is reflecting in the price of the tank.... there is an armored Bircher.. a pair of red terrors and a pleco plus 2 upside down catfish and some demasoni..... just wondering if you're interested

[@MicksFishUk]

Hey mate can u message me on Instagram cheer buddy

When I bought my ornate Bichir I was told you Pronounce it like biker 😎 and the very biggest bichirs have the underbite the bottom jaw protrudes those can grow well over 2 /3 feet yours is not one of those the one you’ve got they grow very fat big old bellies on them You have to make sure they get their share of the food because their eyesight is terrible but they’re very cool Although you know that you have one in the monster tank looks quite skinny he has a lot of competition there though it’s the eyesight it’s a bit of a problem has to be said all the best mate 🤥👍⚒

Bricuhhuessssss will get 24-36 inches and thiccc Kept rays with loaches and bircherrrssss as long as enough food and enough space there okay snd rays will hurt then self in anything so be carful of any wood any rock anything and heaters are recommended to have covers on them

[@robertjohnston25]

Man I’m on the fence about an Oscar maybe you can seal the deal for me. I have a 210g 75g sump with 27 clown loaches ironically about the size of the ones you have in your 210g as well. Have you ever had an issue with your Oscars eating a clown loach? I would be gutted to see that happen to one of mine I’ve invested in them so much more than any of my other fish lol. Any tips would be appreciated :)

[@jhaych]

You should be absolutely fine mate

[@garygurney7373]

I am afraid that your tank is not big enough needs to be a minimum of 30 inches wide
