Bro,

For kep leaves, is it easily available at LFS??? I have already pour the black water in my tank and I will not switch on the light for 1 week as per yr advice.

BTW, I have another 7'' RTG inside my 5ft tank. I have put a divider as both flight like hell when I remove it. One question, will it help if I were to buy another aro (total 3) and comm it. Is the chances of less fighting be less if there are 3 aros instead of 2?? Pls advise.

Thanks

hi suggested not to put the 2 together. If really thinking of comm, at least 4 above. As 7" rtg more aggressive, not worth to try to risk your small red. Definitely, 3 is better than 2. Try adding tank mate.

Bro,

My tank is 5'' x 1.5 x 1.5. Is it big enough to have 3 comm in my 5ft tank??? Pls advise.

Bro,

Noted yr advise. At the moment, I have 3 discus, 1 angel fish and 1 ray as tank make, together with the bigger RTG. Lucky for me, the discus gets along well with the RTG.

I have noticed that my baby PR is currently under a lot of stress whenever someone go near the tank. My aro will start to dash around the tank and notice that his 3 fins are all clamp during swimming. Also, my aro's appetite is not too good, ie. eating only 3-4 SW 2 times a day.

Is there anything I can do to calm my aro down, ie. add black water or cover the tank with newspaper for a while??

Appreciate all the tai kor's advise on this.

Thanks
Newbie

use more ketapang or black water...
