No idea about EBJD's but a regular one in a 55 is a decent size. They would definitely stress out or attack the others.

What are you water parameters? This is very important. Give us as much info as you can.    What filter do you have? Size of the tank and the fish please. How often do you change the water? How do you do it? How do you clean the filter media?   When water contain toxins, white 'dust' may appear...

How big is the Clown Loach exactly? You may find that a lot of questions ask for specific numbers and we may bombard you with them since a fish is ill. I am lead to believe that Clown loaches require other Clown loaches because they do far better with company. They also grow to 12 inches I...

Looks like a stink bug.     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentatomidae

GT can be aggressive yes, but not as much as a JD or Flower Horn in my experience. What is your full stocking idea? 90 Gallons is a decent size but if you have too many fish then yes it most likely will fight.

Sorry to hear that mate. Maybe wait a few weeks and decide? It's a good hobby and sometimes I find myself just sitting there looking at my fish :) They can make you happy!

Oh no :s shame but you can choose something you want I guess.

I would suggest a different tank by himself. I don't know much about gold fish but have read that they can host certain diseases and is the water temperature a little less for them too?

I would say yes over all. Plenty of fish have been put in smaller tanks than they should, and I am guilty of that. It's far too easy to make that mistake.   It's a bit like dogs for me. Some people are far too careless and are bad dog owners. However there's no rule that people need a license etc...

A Green Terror may work. Not too aggressive from my experience, not any more than an Oscar anyway.    I was thinking a beautiful Flower Horn could work too. Aggressive but with space, it will just be a King with a fight here and there.    As long as there is enough room, then they won't be too...

Looks like good news then. Maybe the medication has worked. I don't know much about your community of fish but do you think having less has helped in some way? May as well get it tested there than do nothing when you don't know what has gone wrong. I'm sure if you told them the situation they...

  I wonder if a slightly lower PH would help the Barb's?    I am stomped! Did you have full water readings prior to the change in filter? I am going to guess that something has changed since the new filter, but what is the bloody mystery lol.    Would you say they have gone grey/blue-ish too? I...

Get some Seachem Prime. It's going to take out Chlorine with water changes and also help against Ammonia , Nitrite and Nitrate. 

Any chance you can get a PH reading please. What test kits are you using? Maybe get a LFS to do a test. The symptoms sound like either heavy metals are effecting them. Have any lost colour? I think there is a disease beginning with c with the same symptoms if there is colour lost. I forgot the...

Can you list some more info please.   Tank size. Water hardness. Temp of tank. Nitrites, PH etc... again   I assume you use dechlorinator for water changes. You also have a filter running perfectly without any changes? Good aeration.   Nothing new was added right? Such as something that may have...

I believe topping up water is perhaps working now because you don't have so many fish. If you got quite a few Discuss then the waste would go up and you would definitely need to do water changes or nitrates would start to build up.    If water changes are already a concern, then in my opinion...

I use a cheap timer from ebay for my lighting. You can set how many hours and what time yourself. Why not get one of those instead? Only one socket at a time but you can get 2 for very cheap. 

Well I have read on another forum that a gentlemen used some Arcadia tubes on his set up. I am not joined to that forum so haven't asked him, al though the thread is fairly old anyway.   I have the older T8 unit. It's not a planted tank so I don't need my lightning to be much brighter other than...

I have never had a Jaguar, but did once want them, however Oscar's appeal to me more. I have had quite a few Cichlid's and large fish from:  GT's, Flower Horns, Giant Gouramis, Jack Dempseys, Fire Mouths etc... and I always prefer Oscar's. They are easily available which is true so not so...

Green terrors are suppose to have orange tips. Usually they do have a slight hump even as a juvenile. I had one and it looks like a hybrid aswell.

A friend of mine was closing up his tank because he will be starting university in september. He offered me a convict and another fish which he does not know what it is. I accepted the offer because I know I am able to care for them well. The only thing is, I am not sure what fish this is. If...

Is that the scientific name for a flowerhorn then? After googling, the pictures do look similar to a flowerhorn, but I am not sure because the nickname is firehead.

i don't like you, but i feel black eheim pipes will make it look a lot better. the green stands out amongst your fishes. ps. i had to mention i don't like you so it's clear.

looks abit overstocked to me. anyway to hide the green eheim pipes? nice fish

he is obviously having a laugh in a subtle way. m,aybe it's american humour but he definitely isn't trolling here from his follow up posts.

1. amir is very young, and is still learning. 2. he is a very good boxer. he can punch if needed, and can also box. 3. he is not the done deal. no boxer can be called the done deal. every boxer has his main strengths and weknesses. 4. he has less than 20 fights. ofcourse he isn't going to be a...

when i had a pair of angels, my male died exactly the same way. he just gave up life i suppose. he didn't move much and was aimlessly floating around. he was fairly big when i got him so i assumed it was old age. i never got to know since he didn't appear to be ill or anything the day before.

i have 2 firemouths amongst some cichlids and at the beginning they were in the lower end of the pecking order. now they don't really get attacked as it seems they can defend themselves although they are pretty neutral. after about 2 weeks i found them more confident. i suspect he will not fear...

i don't know if they physically harm fish, but i have heard it changes their characteristics sometimes.

although you may be right on the part of having more precise answers, i feel that the sub forums will be less inactive and therefore appeal less to people. i like this site because there are 2 or 3 threads created in each forum, and also the fact that people reply back.

very impressed you made everything yourself,. well done

you don't need 15 years of experience to see that his ray is fine in the gravel that he has. is his ray dead or not? mr poolittle

from a picture you can see that his gravel is way too sharp? wow you must have some 20/20 vision to detect something being sharp. also wow you must be dr doolittle with your fishes if that means that you can tell if rays are unhappy with the gravel. did your ray whisper to you "hey mr tikarman...

why is it way too big? if he has kept his ray with those pebbles and it is still alive then he should keep it. yeah you would change it, but you're just someone who doesn't seem to think. if he saw it was a problem then he would have changed it. anyway nice fish underworld :) are fishes in...

my convicts eat simple flakes with soem brine shrimp, daphnia or live river shrimp. i got them at about 1 inch and it took mine 3 months to breed. the male is abour 3.5 inches and female about 2.5.

the term overstocked is used when a tank is not understocked too often. i mean how can you tell precisely if a tank is 'just right'? do you measure the fish and compare it to the tank? water quality can help judge if the tank has too many fishes in it ofcourse, but then you have to look at...

it's called trial and error :) if you see signs that it isn't working then you can take the fish out. any particular reason you wanted this combo? obviously the discus needs the right water so you will have to set everything according to what the discus like and hope for the ebst for your betta.

3 months i would say.

considering the size difference a female betta would mroe likely get eaten. althoguh they are pretty hardy and can hide when needed.
