I was just trying to say that depending on your tank (you might have had it set up with other fish) different pikes would be better suited. Or none at all if you had incompatible fish. A pair of regani would be fine in a 3ft tank. Ample room in the 4ft tank (though 1 pair only I would imagine...

Not quite sure what it is just yet, I will say that it looks more Old World than New World however.

Totally depends on your set up. More information would help pick a suitable one - if there is one. I like regani personally. Also, why does your post only go a couple of words then start a new line?

I found it in the link you provided Walkers, guess its up now :good:

Not sure as I'm in the UK, but seems excessive to me. $1200 is £760 according to XE currency converter. You can pick up a 75 gallon tank, filter, lights etc. for £400 easy in the UK I would say (got my 90 gallon + stand + filter + light + heaters for £75 - a rate bargin). So I wouldn't pay...

I would disagree with the statement an oscar would 'kill all the other tankmates'. Oscars are one of the more peaceful larger cichlids and should get on well with plecs and pictus. There is a small issue that they may eat the rope fish if the size difference is large enough, but use of common...

Could be interesting indeed.... I am very fortunate that when I was younger my parents were supportive of my hobby, the only arrangement I had to make was that I looked after the fish myself.

Garra flavatra? Edit: Images aren't working for some reason.

They would definately eat the smaller fish and attack the angels.

Yep, going to be quite stressful I imagine. And there's me not looking forward to taking down an empty Vision 260... C

Yeah I thought that too, but I keep hoping if theres a ton of java moss/hiding spots...some might survive :P Also, what temperature do you keep your discus at? I was planning on 28-30C, going on PFK article

I've always liked amazonian themed tanks, but have had 'larger/aggressive' cichlids for most of my fishkeeping life. In a way I fancy a change and the challenge of discus, I too am wary I will not be able to commit enough time to them, but I think that may be just nerves, plus the reputation of...

In the first option yes, discus and festae wouldn't work out well I imagine :crazy:. Discus are meant to be difficult to keep though, I'm personally weighing up my options on them, wether to take the plunge or not. I wouldn't recommend them as a beginner fish, possibly get the other fish...

Depends on dimensions. As you asked what I would stock it with....I'd go down the SA route too: Discus, altums, dwarf cichlids/geo's a huge school of tetra, cory's. Heavily planted with lots of bogwood. Though traditionally my interests like with larger CA/SA cichlids - so I would be tempted...

Sheffield. I have a very good LFS and am not so concerned about the fish being stunted as I trust the owner and know they take good care of the fish. I may have been stingy with the size's, I went there yesterday to have a word about them and possible exchange. He is ordering in some more...

Hi all, Discus have always been one of those fish that I'd like to keep, but always sometime in the future. I am put off by their demands and quite honestly, price. That has changed recently, last month my favourite LFS got a small group of discus in, priced at £90 for 6 - only 2-3" or so and...

Depends on what your interpretation of cute is. But hey, each to their own.

I would stick to 1 species of each larger fish (to avoid pairs forming which can be a hassle in a community tank). If your dead set on an oscar, then build the stocking around that. I would suggest: 1 Oscar 1 GT School of geo's 1 1 plec (NOT common/sailfin) School of pictus for the bottom...

Pretty sure its just a GT that the LFS has tried to squeeze more $$$ for. The comparison to an EBJD doesn't do it for me, there's a clear difference between a JD and an EBJD. Just because a fish may be more colourful, doesn't warrant a whole new name in my opinion, it will just be a...

Like others have said, it depends on what you want to do with the language. I really regret not trying harder in French classes at school, I now see how useful an extra language is. I'm half planning on teaching English abroad (going on a CELTA course soon), so will be at least a year in...

Isn't 'Royal GT' just a LFS name to get more money for a 'GT'?

I have a very good LFS that buys back fish or gives you credit. The bonus is that if you do get 6 fish to pair up, by the time they have formed a pair and things start to get nasty, the fish are generally twice as big as when you got them, so they are worth more, meaning I get more credit. Of...

You are kidding right? One name jumps out when you say Nottingham....Wharf Aquatics. Not sure how far it is from Lenton though, but its a worth a trip for any fishkeeper.

I remember him and can't imagine why he got banned. This forum has lost some good members...

Unfortunately not. Just one off google images. Compatibility will be an issue, RT and Midas are two fish with a lot of potential aggression. Lots of variables too...tank size, size of midas and RT, how long the midas has been in the tank and the indiviual fishes personalities.

I've recently gone through a phase of wanting a female red terror. These can look stunning. I would say you have room for a pair of these fish given the dimensions of the tank. Another option would be a south american biotope (1 school of tetra, a few dwarf cichlids, a school of cory's -...

From the dimensions given and a few internet searches/calculators I found the dimensions give 155 litres.

As long as you are sensible with what you choose there's no reason you can't have other cichlids. As Willis said, probably the most popular choice would be some type of apistogramma. Technically the rasbora come from Asia, so you wouldn't have a 'perfect new world biotope' unless you...

Given the shape of the tank the SA theme (tetra/small cichlid - planted etc.) sounds good. Another idea I've just had which might appeal to you, is if you get a load of snail shells, some sort of 'central pillar' and silicon the shells to that to make a sort of 'shell pyramid' and have a shell...

Stunning tank. Your angels are also great - much better than the 'man-made' colour varieties in my opinion. Especially like the twisting branches, they create a real sense of depth.

That first Nic pic is great.

Balloon rams are normal rams that have been bred with a deformed spine.

Pictures? I think 'Royal green terror' is just a way for LFS to make a bit more proffit out of a 'Green terror'. What are your plans for eventual stocking then?

I used a programme called 'Recuva'. A google search will bring up the website. Hope it helps, I know how upsetting it can be to loose pictures.

At least the assistant seemed to care. I find it disheartening walking into my LFS and seeing the same fish there week after week - they happen to be 2 oscars. Shame no one wants them but its understandable given their needs. What are your options with regards to placing the little fella...

If they are on your computer (even if you deleted them) there are programmes available that will retrieve them if possible. When you delete a file from your computer, its not totally removed (even if you delete from the recycle bin), its simply written over. Its also worth plugging in your...

I'd do 1 oscar or a pair in that tank. 3 is an odd number incase 2 pair up and then bully the remainder. Any more and you are sacrificing room that could be used for other fish. Oscars are great interactive fish, and mix well with a variety of other fish due to their temperament and...

Depends on what they end up going for. Theres a few people on this forum who sell RCS. They normally go for around 50p - £1 each (just looked in classified section - 3 sellers on first page). P+P will add to that if your not local. Though with the amount of RCS around these day's theres...

I agree with Curiosity101, if things like this were happening to hamsters or puppies, it would be a national scandal and in every newspaper. The sad fact is that fish are just fish to some people. While being confrontational may not have been the best approach, I can understand in the heat...

I'd be a bit concerned about the 5 angels. I think the tank may be able to support a pair of angels (which is probably what will happen when a pair form). Not sure on the height of the tank (16" from internet search), angels need tall tanks and I think the recommended height is 18". Perhaps...
