Bichir Thread #44

[sixthbrand]

Anyway anyone has any theories or conclusions as to Teugelsi being prone to SDS? Apart from what Schmike said from being stressed out..

Would like to know more before i decide whether or not to "invest" in one.

TIA

Anyway, there is good news as Angus can declare this as DOA as it's within 24 hours from arrival. I didn't know about it till I asked him if he wanted the body for specimen.

DOA means Death On Arrival?

So that means can ask for refund?

His asking SDS not DOA bro..

SDS is more of a "heng" or "suai" matter most of the time imo.. it can happen to any type of fishes.. I cant answer for teugelsi since I have only own 1 and its my 1st piece too.

DOA's refund matters will need to depend on the importer's agreement with the supplier itself. Angus is able to get a 24hrs' refund or replacement policy doesnt mean other importers can get same T&C I supposed.

Des bro, i think bichir_lover was referring to Schmike's post.

SDS means sudden death syndrome.

Anw anyone has any experience or advice on the idea of comm-ing Bichirs with Bagarius/Tigs? No size in particular but just in general.
