yarimochi Posted January 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 I know it doesnt sound good but other than resting on the bottom, he looks very healthy, ive seen him eat the shrimp the guys at hff gave gim and he otherwise looks in perfect condition. I know asians are pretty hardy but i dont want to fork out 2 grand for a fish that dies the next day, what do other people think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evil_elmo Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 how big is the tank he is in at HFF? maybe the tank is too small for him? they sit or float(swims in the same spot without moving) when they are stressed. like everyone says, you can just adjust the flow on the fx5 to suit him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarimochi Posted January 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Im not going to open another thread ill ask the question on the one ive already started. When I get back, I will be buying my fx5, lights heaters...blah blah blah and ill be getting the water into the tank, The next day if the the heaters have done their job, ill go off to hollywood and get about 5 platys, a week after the platys have done their job ill put my two birchirs in and in about 4 days my asian aro will go in. If you havent figured in out already, this is my cycling plan. Is this long enough? Is their anything i can put in to speed it up? Ive seen a product like that for marine but im not sure about fw. Would an asian aro be happy in this level of cycling? thanks heaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Do you have an established tank/filter? Use as much water from an established tank (try for at least 20%) and run one filter thats already established while the FX5 is cycling. Alternately, run the FX5 for a couple of weeks on a tank thats been up and running for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
