ok. Well, I've decided im going to build, or buy an overflow box. I'm probably going to have a rio 2100 pump, and i think they are rated at 400 gph. I'm sure i could find an overflow box that is also rated at 400 gph, but i was wondering, is there any way to build one yourself, and be fairly...

I'm making a wet dry filter of my own. I don't want to drill the glass for in the intake hosing to the sump, so i'm wondering if i can just put the tube at the top of the water . will it still work right? i'm probably going to be using a rio 2100 series pump, or maybe a 2500, depends on what...

alright, thanks a lot

Alright. Well I've decided to go shopping for some more fish for my 75. Right now i have the green terror, red devil, a female convict, common plec., and a blue channel cat. I'm probably going to be taking the convict to the fish store. I was thinking about getting a couple more convicts and...

mine , as xxz stated :rolleyes: , constantly nagged at one of my powder blue dwarf gouramis, and eventually made a wound about the size of a dime on the side of the gourami. the gourami was fine, i got rid of the shark. i didnt even notice it bother anything else than that, and it usually kept...

when i got a stand for my 29 i at first got that topfin one from petsmart as well. i put my tank on it, but it really didnt look like it would be good for longterm, im sure it is , but it was just cheap looking, and i found one for about the same price at another LFS that was solid oak, so i...

convict cichlid?

i have a question about the died oscars most. Is the blue oscar that has the weird shaped lines down them like oscars do, it looks albino but with the blue lines, is this died?? just wondering because i didn't realize that they died oscars, and i just recently saw this color formation, and it...

mine has a planty kind of smell to it. everything is fine in the tank so i guess its ok

Well i just got out of the shower and found my male convict beat up really bad,and dead, hooked onto filter. Well this really sucks because my female is sporting a big belly and her prettiest colors. I was expecting them to lay eggs here within the next couple days. I dont really know who did...

ahhh.. sorry about that, forgot to resize that one, how do i rid of it?

heres my green terror. sorry about my pics being really close up and stuff, really crappy digi camera.

alright, ill look into angels, thanks a lot

ive kept red devils, convicts, and jacks with them successfully. fish ive had problems with : texas, firemouth, jewel im not saying that any of this will work because i have seen a lot of mixed opinions about this fish, but hope that helps a little. make sure you have plenty of territories, mine...

i didnt say inexpensive, i was just saying im not looking to pay a couple hundred dollars for fish, because i dont have that kind of money. the money making is an ulterior agenda really, if i could trade fish for store credt and just get enough to get free food and filter pads and such that...

ok, im really gonna start getting into this breeding stuff, it is really interactive, more than just having decorations, and hey i might turn a few dollars right :P . so im going to buy a few smaller tanks ( 20's, 15's) to raise my fry in. but, in a little while when i get ahold of some money...

ok... i think it is going to be hard to tell if i only have one of each species?? so the males is smaller right? do you konw of a site that has pictures of what male and female gt looks like when vented?

alright, thanks. i replaced the gravel in my tank with sand. it looks great, just put back in the slate rocks and such. it looks really realistic, which was what i was going for. the fish seem to like it, terror and devil going crazy everytime i put a new rock in there, its really cool, they...

wow i just got home from school, and it is already 9 oclock on this forum. my lfs said they would be getting in a shipment of south and central americans on wednesday, but they dont know how big the fish will be. my gt is about 8 inches long, so is it going to be really hard to pair it off ...

just to let up any confusion. when i said community tank, i didnt mean it cant be kept with other species of fish. it can, as long as they are just as mean. by community tank i was referring to a tetra, barb, danio kind of community tankbecause you were asking about keeping them with barbs. as...

ok. i assumed the red devil was a male because of the really pronounced hump that it has, it is not even a year old yet, and my green terror is a year and a half still so i guess i am goign to be waiting a while. i havent ever vented a fish so if anyone could give me some pointers, and how can...

i have kept jewels before, a few years ago. If they are the same species, then no they are not compatible at all with your tiger barbs. I had a pair and the male killed everything in my tank, including the female. very mean, deffinately not a community fish.

Ok. I'm going to a not so LFS today, it is a ways away. I'm goign to take them a female jack and a male convict, they are not well loved in my tank, and i want to give them a stress free life, if possible. Anyways, this store has a very large selection of fish, and i was thinking of...

I have small gravel in my tank now, but i just dont really like how it looks. It doesnt look natural enough to suit me. I was wondering what other types of substrate i could use. I've never seen anything other than sand and gravel, and i dont know if sand would work. My cousin put sand in a...

1 green terror 1 red devil 1 jack dempsey 3 convicts ( breeding pair, extra male) 2 texas 1 pleco 1 blue channel cat

he is about eight inches long, maybe nine and a half with tail. i have had him since 2 inches, had him for probably almost a year. the fish i ahve seen are very similar, the only difference being (not always) teal, green coloring on the lower half of the face. idk, but if my fish is not a green...

I saw an arcticle a while back that got my curiousity started, but left the topic alone for a while. I came across some stuff a few days ago that said that the true green terror, aquidens rivulatus, is very rare. I own a "green terror", but cant tell if it is the rivulatus, or the closely...

alright, im goign to the store today to get some slate rocks to set up the tank.. thanks. ill try it outand see what happens

i have a 75 gallon tank with a red devil, green terror, jack dempsey, texas, and a plecotomus. the first three fish get along fairly well, but the green terror constantly messes with the texas and it is always in caves or up behind one of the three filters. i have another tank that is up and...
