Senegal Bichir tank

Ok so I've not changed a thing in the tank.

I fed him a "lekker stuk" lever this morning as he looked a bit hungry, he grabbed it and swallowed with out any hesitation.

I did a 40-50% wc last night.

He had a bit of red streaks on his tail fin(I think it might have been the bucket I kept him in) that is almost completely gone.

I'm feeding every second day.
I tried to give him TetraMin last night, he bit it a couple of times but he did not eat.

 

Update:
I removed the pink 15watt.
The plants are doing good have not started to push new leafs but there roots are growing.

I fed him 4 peaces of liver just now.

 

Nice man glad you are enjoying him so much, tonight is wc night removing 240 liters of water :laugh: takes me about 20-30 minutes for the whole wc :nuts:

 

Yeah I'm enjoying this guy plenty and so is my dad.

Hehe luckily you only have one 650L tank.

 

Remember I also have my 100 Liter Quarantine tank but luckily it only gets a 40% water change once a week, that is around 40 liters.

Nice man that is good.

 

Nice Bichir and nice rock!

 

I forgot you have the 100L hviviers, 240 + 40 = 280L. With all my tanks I change 365L and after that I'm completely drained.

Thanks Hawk!

 

Hehe yeah I can only imagine dude. Maybe you must divide your wc regime for your tanks maybe do half on Mondays and the other half on Wednesdays.

 

I can't, I have to do it friday saturday or sunday.
What I do in summer:
Friday a 50% wc on all tanks, then a do a 30% wc on all tanks again on sunday
What I do in winter:
I just do 1x 50% wc on the weekend.

 

Okay cool then dude, if it works for you then sweeet!!!

Keeps you from doing mischief :bigsmile:

 

Hehe, it keeps me from doing to much mischief :trytofly:

 

Hehehe cool man keep at it LOL!!!

 

Hehehe will do

 

Not as much as I'd hoped to update but:
I upgraded the lighting to 2x 11watt cool daylight and 1x 11wat cool white bulb and took out the 18watt.
I also put in a baby guppie and it lived 2days :nuts: and then got eaten :cry:

And that's it
