alright well that's good to know he doesn't lie on his side for an extended period of time it just like 6 or so seconds but it's still very odd

well i am not leaving anytime soon but when i go outta town for 2 or 3 days i usually put some fish in for him. also, oscars are such odd fish, like how they can sit still, it is hard to tell how they feel bc they are always lazy. if mine kinda floats on its side occasionally could this be an...

I meant can the Dempsey harm the pleco, it pokes at him sometimes is that bad? The plecs like 5-6" and the dempseys like 2 and if I go outta town ad I leave some feeders in the tank for oscar is that acceptable?

ok thanks for tellin me about the feeders. And can they harm my pleco?

so i have an oscar fish and i feed him beefheart occasionally, and goldfish, cichlid gold, and other rnadom foods i have that dont have preservatives, i also give him krill but he doesnt seem to like the krill is that normal? let me know what u feed your oscars, and what they enjoy eating...

alright, thanks for pointing that out to me, ill work on it

i looked it up and couldnt find much, ill talk to my LF and see what they think. een if its okay ill try to moe it a little. itll be really hard though now bc waters like 6 poung per gallon, and thats 75 gal. so ya, itll be REALLY heay, but i bet ill be able to slide it a bit

ya ill definately take out some plants as the grow, bc last time they just ripped em all to shreds and its off about 1/4" is that a big deal, should i een it out?

ok, well can i just email them to you? itd be much easier

hey so i took some pictures, but how do i post them on here?

I don't have any right now, but I'll take some tomorrow and post em

well i got my tank complete, finally, yesterday, and its doing well so far. i ended up just gettin 5 RBPs from the LF i usually go to, they are all just about 1". i may get a couple more but i gotta wait til thursday for more to come in. even though i wanted to get some that were already big...

ya wel I'm going to that store right now..I'll let ya know how it is

ok ya i didnt hae em that long that was just a guess, that was wayyy off. i joined this in january 09, and i got my fish a lil before then so i had em for a little more than a yr...it prolly sounds like im lieing now so i dont sound bad, but i have an EXTREMELY bad memory. and im gonna sound...

ya my Lf is really reliable and had helped me alot well i mean its going to be a very long time for them to get to the size where i need to get rid of some, and imean i had nine before, not full grown though, but they were growing for about 2 1/2 or 3 yrs

ya ok ill be sure to get a good filter, ill hae my LF help me out and ya once they r full grown probably 3-4,and if worst comes to worst, like if i cant give them away, i hae several tanks i could put a couple in so they arent crammed. just until i find a new owner

ya that is a minor set back.... and back to the filter, what size should i get? like what gph and stuff? andI am assuming that I can get a filter that isn’t equivilant to my tanks size too, like since I already have a filter I could get a filter, just for example, that only filters a 65 gal...

ya i am planning on making this take filled with "vegetation," my last one had alot in it, only problem was that they would bite the fake plants at the stems and there was just fake leaves alll over. i am gonna get the 10 RBPs for 100$ on aquascapeonline. i know that they may be too many, but...

alright, ill have to check those out. what do u think the minimum size i should get should be? so i know what not to go below? and also i was reading about RBPs and it is said that if u have a tank that is more dim, or has a canopy of some floating plants to make shadows, or if i use...

ya, ur right, that isnt really what im looking for. and ya i know thats not full, i was just lettin ya know how big they got. ill prolly get another 100gal filter, u think thatll do the trick?

ya i agree that posting that pic would be asking for trouble, but i guess ill see when i go there. and my rbps were about 5" or 5 1/2" and i never had any HUGE issues, i mean some minor things here and there, but, again, thats just as far as i know, i mean there coul hae ben issues that i was...

ya i thought so. im gonna up the filtration, but it was odd because with my rbps it seemed to do the job quite well. i changed the water fairly often, and my water tests were usually around normal. i actually just found a pet store in cincy, Aquatics and Exotics. the website isnt ery good...

alright good. idk what size it is for sure, im almost positie its in the 80s though... all i hae for filtration is a penguin filter that is for, i wanna say 100gal. it has worked fine for me for as long as i can remember, as far as i know. i think i am gonna buy another filter, possibly the...

dimensions==== these may be off by a little be i just used a ruler. 20" high 18" long and 48" wide my LF said they can only order RBPs. im looking for more stores but i am not haing much luck.. the caribes on aquascapeonline are 75$ for a 3", is that what they usually are? u know where i...

ya i hae looked at caribe before, they are cool, but the ones on aqua scape are 75$, and not in stock.... how many caribe would one get for an 85 gal.? and u know anywhere i could get caribe for decent price?

ya i feel like one serra couldnt possibly be as interesting multiple rbps...i was thinking about just buying some more rbps because i was quite satisfied with them. but then again i wanted to try something new. i would like to stick to pirahnas because i really like them, and if not piranhas i...

dang...in your opinion is it worth having just one serra? Like with my rbps they were more active when I got more and, just wondering, what type of piranha would u get if u were me? Price plays a part in my choice also, I don't wanna pay more than 35 or 40 per fish? and what is drip acclimation?

ok, so even though i have an 85 gal. 2 wont work? if not, i was wanting to get a couple or more piranhas. i dont think i would like only having one in the tank, so are there any others that are "better" than RBPs but can be with each other? and i live in cincinnati ohio, the weather has been...

ok cool. and yes i mean the red sanchezi, and the gold piranha's scientific name is Serrasalmus Spilopluera, so yes gold spilo. and i am assuming that ordering fish by mail in the winter isn't a good idea, what do you think? i have talked to my local store but they said hey cant order big...

ya. i have an 85 gal. and i was also looking at the gold piranha, and red spilo too and where should i look for piranhas? Freank, who is he? and i know that cichlids are more agressive than piranhas, but i like the piranhas more. my reds that i had were begginning to be very active and not as...

So i had a bit of an incident...i had 8 RBPs and i went on a trip. got back all were cooked...my heater had a great malfunction and fried them all....i am greatly disappointed but i want to make use of the tank. I want to get another fairly agressive fish. that is as interesting as RBPs. i...

let me know if this works i really dont know if it will but heres the pics http://webmail1.webmail.aol.com/29202-111/aim-2/en-us/mail/get-attachment.aspx?uid=1.27503113&folder=Inbox&partId=2...

ya thats a very good point. ill get it on here prolly by tonight....how do u post pics on here? im gonna send it from my phone to my email, can i just paste it in my post? or what?

yea but that takes too long. i just wanna send u the pic through text, it'd be much easier

cou7ld u give me ur call number, bc it takes alotta time to do it over email? i will not abuse u over ur number, and please dont abuse me over my phone. okay, i know u dont know me but i swear to u that im seriously worried about my fish and i will not mess with u over ur number please thank you

i found a weird looking red thing in my tank, it looks like an organ?!? i have an oscar fish and a blue dempsey cichlid. what is it? all i could think of was that my fish was a girl and it was on its period, hahaha. i have nio idea. the fish look fine and are acting normal but idk what this red...

hahaha yea i know exactly what you mean!! and it worries me when they all lash out when htye get scared bc they hae bitten eachther on accident before and they run full speed and bash into the glass sometimes...and u wonder why they arent so smart???

at first yes it was just because they were agressive, and its not that im bored with them, i just wanted to get a lil variety in it which i know u really cant...and although reds are not very aggressive they r still cool and i actually find mine rather agressive, even though i dont have much to...

o i couldnt agree more..like someday i wanna get an elongatus...they are so cool, but very expensive, and do know if they are really as aggressive as the internet says they are?
