That is pretty normal for them. More then likely moves around when no movement in room.

Tiger Fish are primarily carnivores. They are a predator that in the wild primarily feeds on fish fry and small fishes, small shrimps, crabs, worms, and insect larvae. In the aquarium their main diet consists of smaller fish although they can sometimes be coaxed into eating shrimp, worms or insects. One look at their large mouth will tell you that small tank mates will disappear quickly. They are not aggressive towards other species but will attempt to eat any fish that will fit into their mouth.

read through the information written on the fish on this site. Some great information. These fish are not the easiest to care for, so do a lot of research! Good luck

Hi! I'm really new to being an aquarist, and I decided to bring two giant Danios home with a (cleaned) 10-gallon setup I bought from a thrift shop for cheap. I do have a question about feeding in general...how much is a 'little amount'? To err on the safe side, as I've heard of fish dying from overfeeding so I give them three small meals of around...four large flakes equivalent. Maybe somewhat less than a pinch. Am I giving them enough food, or am I giving them too much? This is my first time and I really want it to be right. Thanks for the help!

It sounds like you are doing just fine feeding your fish! I wouldn't worry about overfeeding them too much, as long as you do regular water changes. One pinch 2-3 times a day is a good amount.

To start off, be sure you feed a variety of food including fresh chopped veggies. Also a 10 gallon is way to small for these fish. Even one or two. With only having 2 you will quickly notice a dominant fish in the hierarchy whom will most likely kill the other one. You need a group of at least 5 or 6 at minimum. 90 gallon cichlid community tank 75 gallon giant danio species tank

I have about 4 Borely - Red Kadango cichlids. they are pretty peaceful guys, and subtly colored. Some have Blue heads and brownish red bodies On, my biggest is silver in body, with bright yellow fins. I love them!

What a beautiful fish... I envy you :) Is 'Borely - Kadango' a hybrid or a cross?

I have them in a community tank! My rainbow fish stops them from eating the other fish.

I just bought a single mono and have kept it with 2 gold fish, 2 sharks, 1 ghost & few guppies! Although read that they are not fresh water fish. But they were kept in fresh water from where I bought them. Is it really a bad idea?

Mono Fish usually do fine as youngsters in freshwater aquariums. But as they get older they usually do better in a brackish water environment.
