  Beautiful video and fish!! Are they peaceful with slower fish and do they feed relatively up top? I want to add them to a river tank with stiphodon gobies and want to make sure they will get along with the gobies and not gobble all the food at the bottom 😅 thx for any insight!

• 
  @AguabonitaAquatics2 ай бұрын

  They are fierce competitors, I would suspect they would acquire virtually all the food fed from above. It may be possible to feed the gobies larger pellets and have them receive an adequate amount of leftover food, but you may end up with some real chunky kali tawa. In my experience raising them from fry with large cories, they eventually outcompeted the cories for food, so much so, that I had to separate them. The cories could get some leftover pellets, but basically no frozen foods and just small amounts of baby brine shrimp. It may be possible, but I would say it would be difficult as you may have to target feed the gobies while the Kali Tawa are distracted with other food. Kali tawa are next level, ravenous feeders and don't seem to have a problem with taking food from the bottom. A just as beautiful alternative is the furcatus blue eye (forktail rainbowfish), they are heavy feeders, but aren't nearly as food crazed and only half-heartedly go after pellets on the bottom. Pictures don't do them justice, when people see them in my fishroom, they want to keep them more than any other fish I have!

• 
  @Fishnkitts2 ай бұрын

  Thanks for your insight! My plan would be to feed them up top with their own food, the gobies would get sinkable algae wafers and repashy. But Yeah my biggest concern is whether the tawa would gobble everything up after they ate no matter what. It sounds like that’s the case? :( If that’s the case i will pass on them and wait till I have no gobies, the gobies are sweet slow little guys 😭 Can furcata handle flow?

  I’m the said gentleman who Dean talked about. No Planaria worked great, but the recommendation I’d give if you have mystery snails is to get them out of the tank for a few days if possible. I’d do a 30-50% water change every other day for a week or so to get rid of the No Planaria left in the tank, or most of it after the treatment is done. The mystery snails definitely don’t like it. 3 out of 4 I had died because I didn’t change the water after. I just didn’t realize that’s what was making them sick. Pest snails did not get affected (of course), but the big snails will suffer. I’d treat the tank, wait for the hydra/planaria to die, then do a few water changes to get rid of the No Planaria leftovers.

Their bellies are glowing orange, the males have intricate and unique vermiculation, but the feature that is most impressive is a green, silver or copper iridescent sheen that they have; I've never seen anything quite like it.

  I expect salt kills both hydra and planaria at higher concentrations. I don't see a standard dose or duration when used in combination with shrimp. Most anti-biotic/fungal/parasitic/helminth medications work by differential sensitivity. The animal you are trying to save is less sensitive and the one you are trying to kill is more sensitive. The problem with shrimp is they are generally a more sensitive species ( I expect some plants would also be sensitive). Would make for a great randomized control trial (for hobbyists) as no company would want to do it as there's no profits to be made off of salt. Good question, wish I had a lab to figure it out.
