I think a PH of 7.0 will go good. Will try to get some Red Heads. Hopefully won't have same problem as Cichlid_Crazy. I don't want commons but, I do need to leave them space as we have 5 of varying sizes in our pond and they come in for winter. Gonna do a real qucik cycle using my 3 HOB and I...

I'll have a ratio of 3:7 with females being 3. Will seem to be a good set-up. Need some more species. Hoping for something real active. Want a good top dweller now. Also, want a good, unique, bottom dweller that will be something someone will notice quickly. I'm looking at some oddballs for...

Thx Minx. Would Bosemani do? Love ow they change during the day. Would a school of 8 Columbian and then a school of 8 Bosemani? Well, will consider Geos if my LFS gets any in. Last time they had only on Geo. Surinamesis I think. It was also alone, no one else was in the compartments with him...

I don't see the size difference :P . 125 gallon? Well, could yah help me plan my 100 USG for christmas? Hopefully your new baby is a girl and Harry Plopper may pair up later on? Good luck with your set up.

Beautiful, too bad it won't have a chance in a show. Sucks they go by standards instead of unique loking mutations. Kinda like how it's tail doesn't branch out to 2 points all the way. Pretty cool fish. I give it a 12/10. (2 over 10, be proud)

Wait, I will. I guess I did. Wouldn't let me a week ago.

Well, I would like to know about these fish. They seem to interest me and LFS has had them for a good month or so. Might consider one also after seeing the one in the 100 USG show tank they have. Water parmeters? Tank size? Temperment? Diet? Other good facts? Experience?

You'd look at a full grown Sev and think, "OMG, that monster must be aggressive.",and then you see one the same size in peace with a small guppy. They can and just might eat fish they can eat but, I've seen Sevs in with fish it could easily eat.

My dad had a mean male Jag and as soon as it hit 5", it tried to swallow a 3" Pleco. Dad had to kill pleco to get the Jag free from it's spines. He just got out pliers and tore it apart. Jag got sold at 7" but, had 3 holes in it's throat were it had the incedent.

*bump*

Pretty cool. Keep us updated.

Well, getting a 100 USG for Christmas. So, gonna need a plan instead of how all my other tanks were and see something and go from there. I just want to plan out a beautiful tank full of activity. Excuse me if I ever bombard you guys with questions. So, I want a large, peaceful fish as a center...

Well, some are any way. Mine from years ago would kill Danios for the heck of it.

#3 is a gold Gourami, relativley aggressive to small fish.

Wow, cool cory. Found these yourself? Bought them from a good source? Can see it now if you found it. Falconis Corydoras

I've been attacked by my HRP pair but, just alttle tingly feeling as the bit me.

Disease outbreaks suck. You can never act fast enough with your prized fish. Sucks aquariums are so closed in, disease spreads like the plague.

Great Nemo. Who knew Boss was messy?:P Wonder how the Anemone out of Airline will work out.

Love the Blue Pearlscale and the Altum.

Best to go bare for easy clean up till they are 4" then you can add what you want. Discus are very easy to stunt. A week of slacking off and your Discus will get stunted. Why would your bro spend that much money on something he'll just get rid of? Well, take out the sand, store it some where...

Updates? Piccies? Love the topic and waiting for updates. :P

Course 4x2x2 would work. Not a discus expert but, a good discus flake would suffice. Could try Discuskeeper's recipe. Why did your brother thrust them on you? Lucky :hyper: Also, any other decorations in the tank? Gravel, plants, sand, ect.? If so, take them out cause that'll lead to stunting...

So, by tommorow you'll be raising 3 batches at one time. Up for the challenge young Nemo of the Anemone? I need to start reading, already thinking of changing over the remaining 29 USG instead of getting rid of it. :crazy: You're crazy Nemo. Changing the word is un-realistic as Bon Scott from...

Well, under right conditions, those strands can become a pest to get rid of, and ever-growing mass if I say. Java Moss is hard to get rid of. I have a few strands on ornaments that are bone-dry but green. I do think they should have atleast given you a fistful.

I see your problem with roots, yes. I have had some plants and surprised at root growth over a week. I'm talking 2 inches of new roots weekly.

Crustaceans, feed tings like shrimp, crab meat, prawns, and other Crustaceans.

Extra shrimp cause of the Carotenes in crustaceans.

Been doing research on discus and found it's not a practice to feed discus live food other than grown-yourself BS

Wow! 1.3 cm? It looks atleast an inch in the pictues. Now spending my time on SW alittle more than FW. Hmm, you've changed me -Nemo-, you've changed me. :shifty:

Really, I have to counter your opinion there three-fingers. I have an apple in with a HRP pair and I see no problems. Really, depends on the size of the snail and aggression of the cichlid. I've seen many tiny apples in with an oscar and the oscar not eat a single one but, I've also seen a JD...

Wonder how they go from creepy balls with eyes to clowns. When will you give boss and his siblings away?

Well, will be in the middle actually. I'll always have FW in my heart.

Well, is this a 55 USG or 100 USG gallon? Both are 4 ft. yet one is almost double in capacity. I say a GT and Texas would be okay in a 100 with plenty dithers but, would kill for space in a 55. Better to go for Carprintis and GT

Best idea would put a sponge over pipe so no babies get sucked through. There is some good fry raising videos on youtube also.

I have one of the mopst overlooked jobs in the world that millions do from August to May. I am a........... Kid in school. Hoping for a major in Marine Biology when I get into college and glad there is one close, across the gulf in Florida.(i live in Mobile, Alabama).

Cardinal Diary next then? Hard to believe a FW keeper like me now is realizing SW may be my next ank after the 100 USG Cichlid tank.

This thread and the "Nemo Diary" may actually lead me to persuade my Grandparents for me to get a 20 gallon. Grandad can get ahold of some plexiglass, so no problem building a tank and I might need some help with filtration. But, all this will wait a good year or 2 cause I'm pshing it getting a...

Best to try food with a smell and gradually it'll learn to eat flakes, pellets, FD shrimp, and other dry foods. Got mine with the smell of krill, but he didn't like it's taste and he just found flakes one day and now he competes with the HRP's at feeding time. Doubt it's the oscar intimidation...

Ohh, never ealized the 3 inchers at the store were gonna grow that big. Need to start realizing community fish at the store might no stay that big forever. Plan 2x Sevs 4x Silver Dollars 1x Black Acara 2x BN (have great albino pair at store) 2x Festivum Maybe 3x Angels?

You could but, you need to think of the wild discus needs more. Domestics are just more tolerant of water while wilds are so used to Amazon conditions that they don't tolerate water as easily as domestics.
