How is it not suitable for aquariums?

Glenbo, I believe ur mistaken because I havent seen any male over 7". LFS had some trade ins that must've bbeen a few years old due to their chunky size and nuchual humps. I say the biggest was pushing 7" but thats the biggest con I have ever seen in real life and internet. Also a 20 long in the...

Not sure how to sex them at that big if they are pink cons. Your tank is way to small for them, they will kill your black neons when big enough. I reccomend a 20 long USG. Good if male and female, not good if 2 males. Get a bigger tank ready or give them back.

You got those things what? a little over a week ago?!?!?!?!?! #40##, you must be glad for spending all the trial and error and finnaly this after a week.

how big is the tank they are going in and tankmates? lets hope u have 2 females because males are super aggresive, and a pair about twice that. Just think of a male as a super aggresive fish thats been compact into a 6 inch fish. Females are mellowish and don't pick fights like a male unless...

nelly, your right, it is missing something. It should be in my room is what its missing. :hyper:

I found with my HRPs that the male is more concerned with protecting his territory with fish that are sneaky bottom dwellers like small plecos and my rapheals. Instead of pestering female in the cave he's actually searching constanly for where each BN and rapheal is. Actually funny to watch...

lol stang, sneak them in the tank, when he asks if those 8 discus were there before say "no, never noticed em. but aren't they beautiful?" :good:

Quite common around here in fish stores. Don't grow big, brackish, seem very fragile, and look like they'll only take live foods.

Looks like a Vieja bifaciatus, there are 2 bifa's, bifaaciatus and bifaciatum. Google them and you'll see the differences. LFS once had a 12" bifaciatus

More pics Mark!!!! :sly: Lovely discus, need to post some full tank shots.

How big is the tank? Is it planted? Would you consider it decorated to were their are planty of hiding spots? Are there any floating objects a betta can hide under?

I am not getting these fish rite now. I know when I get older I'm getting a 125 USG and keeping a single male with some bottom dwellers like Rapheals, or getting a pair. I would like to do bocourti too but, waiting till I can house GTs before I get them. But sadly this will be atleast till I'm...

They do get big but not 4 feet. World record was only 38 inches and weighed 43 pounds. This was in Canada. Koi get bigger. Trout need more room.

Best to get rid of clown loach as they get huge, atleast 10". They do grow very slow, but doesn't help his growth in a small tank. I have a 29 gallon and I have serpae tetras and black skirts and both are alot better in schools. Cories are the same, up the number.

No they don't, all sites I have seen is 6", plus I asked about a medium sized central american cichlid and bocourti was recomended Edit: I see, guess I was wrong, almost bought these guys a few months ago. I'm reciving conflict info bout some of these fish. :crazy:

I decided against it. I'll rescue the Boucorti they have instead.

its 30" long and 12" wide. I have 3 filters, 2x Aquatech 20-40, and a Fluval 1 plus internal, equalling 92 gallons of filitration. I'm just wanting help one of these fish, If I find him looking crowded in my tank, I will advertise him on the forum and make sure he fiunds a good home. I just want...

I have used cinder blocks, nothing released into water, kinda rough though, but fish like exploring the many nooks and crannies in the maze.

I am just putting one in and nothing else. I am sure I have efficient filitration, and do %50 W/C on the tank weekly anyway. I know they occupy all spaces and I am helping one of the 8-9 full grown males that are confined to small spaces at LFS. All the males their have been through many fish...

Im not getting uaru :crazy: too big im getting a Cryptoheros cutteri, only gonna be 6" max. If I had room for a few of those beautiful fish and knew a place to get some then sure, need a 200 gallon for that though.

all a 29 USG is is a 30" long 55 USG. They only max at 8", right? better than the 12" cubes they are kept in at LFS. These are fully grown fish.

looks great Snowflake. They have turned into real lookers. Those scars make them unique. When I get my 4' tank, adding a cutteri at LFS that is blind in one eye, makes him different and unique.

Im not sure how big it'll be, but im moving my 29 stock to it. I was wondering more on if I can put it in my 29 when it's empty. It's typical 29, smae height and depth of a 55 but 30" long

I was thinking, whats the smallest tank I can have one of these lookers. LFS has a few that people dont want due to them all being male and they have reached size to terrorize any and all tank mates. I was thinking of taking in one when I have a 4 foot tank and my 29 USG is empty.

They all are the same species. They have ust been bred selectivly. Aslong as theres been a male with them from atmost 3 months ago, you can have babies. Livebearers are known to store sperm for later use. They can and will crossbreed.

How about a few spotted rapheals? They are small and, if given time, will come out during the day. Think they only grow 6", most likely 4"-5". Mine if pretty secluded but, I see him during the day jotting under plants and rocks on occasion. He's also only been in the tank for 4 days. Try spotted...

Are they fighting or developing who leads. I have 3 and I bought a small one, at a little under 3" and one that is 4.5". Lerger one looks quite ruff looking, has a spot that looks he has had a bad scrape before and is quite a bit spinier(?). Smaller one is very active, see him more than my...

lfs has a 200 gallon cube, thats 3x3x3

Lets see... in one 29 over course of 5 years. Only the Texas and Oscar were ever in same tank. I never understood fish keeping till a year ago when O died and Texas was given back to store. 3x Keyholes (Reasonable)5 years ago 2x Firemouths (Didn't last a month)4 years ago 2x Texas (Very bad...

I have been watching my tetras (Serpaes and Black Skirts) I have 8-9 serpaes (to lazy to count the things, and 6 Black Skirts. My Serpaes must be comfortable cause they barely are in a tight school unless they see me with the hose ready for a gravel cleaning. My black skirts are a mix of old...

Thought you had 300 quid, and only spent 180 of it!?!? You should of gotten more than 6! Good looking fish though.

Mark, you better have 2 whole pages of photos when the discus settle in.

platys may be subject to too much stress after birth or platies are too young

commons can be massive producers in the back end

Bought 6 today, all were a little shaky at first but, within an hour are doing good now.

I need to get 2 more for my buddy I bought today. He was active once I put him in, he spent 5 mins exploring and is in "his" hole now.

I have a pair of HRPs. Great fish, better looking than cons, but not as aggresive. I have some juvies at .5" to 1.5" (think theres a 2" male some where I keep confusing for adult female O.O) These are great fish. Only had one sucessful brood, I don't want to add on to the 20 I have now in that...

Livestock: .5 inch - 1 inch Honduran Red Point Cichlids/ Archocentrus sp. "Honduran Red Point" Age and condition: 2-3 months old, alot in good condition Quantity for sale: 25 Reason for Sale: too many fish Delivery or Collection: collection at my house, can't ship Sales price: depends on fish...

My baby HRps, at .5" - 1" will claim a spot, and they will sit there really pale looking until they are either A.) hungry or B.) notice the light. They darken real quick though.
