Originally Posted by Oceansidefish Sorry about that...You want about 30% a month. IMO I would try and do it once a week so about 7g a week or 15g every other week. Ok that is what I will do from now on! Once a week 7 or so gal

I have read up as much as I could on the Niger Trigger and i understand he likes to hide and hang around on the bottom. I just never see this guy! He is the coolest fish ever!! When the other fish eat they come out or if they are already out they come to the top of the tank but not my...

Can you recommend anywhere online to get a refractometer?

I seen they recommend at least 75 gal... He is pretty large already about 3-4inches. What do u think i should do with him? I will work on the salt level asap and do it slowly. Thanks for your help

Changed the water twice so far... 15 gal both time....I will pick a test kit tommorrow...... My last name is Polish. My Grandparents parents came here back in the early 1900's from what i was told. My last is pretty crazy looking i know, i had to deal with it all my life
