yesterday i posted that my female ram had died and after getting home from work today i've noticed that the male ram is sulking behind a flower pot since her absence. Is he lonely?? secondly i have 3 coreys in there and just noticed redening of the gills on the smallest one. just tested and...

got home to my ram in a bad way, asked for advice but she died as i set up the hospital tank. jd

you could but you might have to start the filter under water to get the water high enough in the filter

haha yeah. read they can eat small feeder goldies. I bet it would have a go at anything!!!!! gt's grow much lager than bolivian rams, will eventualy be about 8 inches (more if male)

i read a gt will grow about 3.5 inches max in a year, very slow growers. yeah should be getting 4 sd'son saturday money permitting. buying lots offish this weekend, i want 6 guppy's 4 sd's and 3 leopard coreys plus some decorations for my 55gal. bloody fishcosting me a fortune. lol EDIT -...

good idea, should be getting some on the weekend i can't wait till he's a bit bigger,been toldit will take awhile. i'm gona feel so guilty about feeding guppy's!! will let you know how it goes. thaks jayjay, ur a lifesaver jd

was thinking ifi use theempty 10g i can put marbles down as a substrate so the fry can hideout down there

i have a 20 gal with 2 rams 1 bn plec 3 corydoras and an empty 10 gal. Wouldyou suggest i put the guppy's in the 20 gal and put the rams in the 10g or just put the guppy'sin the 10g. and what ratio of males to females would you suggest either for the 10g or 20g?? thanks jd

lovely tanks the wolf, all have good character and look very busy and interesting. Love your loaches :wub: keep up the good work jd

sounds interesting. put your picture on photobucket and that will allow you to post your picture. have you tried the filter yet? jd

will be buying 4 slver dollars on saturday then. i can't wait. read that green terrors are slow growers so the silver dollars should grow quicker than the gt. thanks for the help all jd

do you think 4 fully grown silver dollars would take attention away from my green terror once he is fully grown?

been doing a little more research and found i could put a red finned or red tailed shark in with him aswell

Well i havn't been shouted at yet so i might not be considered a monstar phew #wipes brow jd

they have 1 inch long silver dollars at my lsf,do you think i should get those or try and find ones thatare larger than my GT as he's only 1.5 inches right now. The tank is approx 48 inches long x 15 inches deep x 16 inches tall, is that enough room for silver dollars and a fully grown GT do...

why not make a nano planted tank

wasn't sure if it wasfrowned upon, seems a bit cruel but was i think my GT would benefit when he's big enough. jd

i don't want another cichlid with him, was just thinking of a smaller school i could put with him, but im not sure if its necessary jd

would it be classed wrong/unethical to breed guppy's as food for my green terror??? jd

ok thanks, saw on a few threads on a cichlid forum of people using tiger barbs. i will leave it as it is for now. cheers jd

how many silver dollars could i fit in a 55 gal tank, i want them as dither fish for my green terror. Would i be able to get a good school of them 4-5 plus the GT 1.5 inches at the moment (will grow to 8-9 inches) or am i pushing my luck??? jd

i was thinking of the silver dollars but i thought they would be too much when the GT is fully grownbecause they like to be in groups of 4-5 EDIT: not sure if he's a male or female. is only about 1.5 inches. think he's too young to sex yet

i didnt like how the females looked when older and i couldn't find a male anywhere so i did some research and really liked the GT so did a swap at my lfs What do you think i could put in as a dither fish, I don't think silver dollars would fit in a 55 gal with a fully grown GT so do you think...

Took my female blue acara back today and swapped her for a green terror, s/he's only about 1.5 inches and looks so lost in its 4foot tank so i was wondering what dither fish i could put in. Could congo tetras work or are they too slow if not how about black widdow tetras?? jd

would help the others if you state your tank size

thanks for the replies all. she's the only fish in the tank so she's top of the pecking order. Do you think a male + female acara and a male + female firemouth in a 55 then. would it not get a little cramped.

i can't tell, maybe he's still too young to sex

how can you distinguish detween the male and female. he has a lot more colour today but i do not have a camera with me. could you tell me the differences and i can go have a closer inspection. cheers again jayjay jd

can anyone id his sex?

what are you going to stock in your 90gal

this is my new acara, only been in the tank about 8hours. seems to have settled in, i am hoping for someone to help me sex him if its possible and tomake sure he is a blue acara he's about 3 inches long

i think i might try a male and female firemouth along with the blue acara. you've persuaded me. Hopefully the acara will be ableto hold its own. But theres nothing to say the firemoughs will pair up if i only buy 2 though

thats not too bad but if i got a breeding pair would they gang up on the acara during breeding as its only in a 55gal

if i got 2 firemouths they would have to be females then to stop breeding and i assume aggression is less with 2 females rather than 2 males

i read they spawn every few weeks somewhere and i don't have the room to look after the fry. so if i have a female acara my tank stocking will be 2 female acara 1 firemouth if i have a male acara 1 male acara 1 firemouth and i need help chosing 1 fish that could go well with these.

i don't have room for anymore tanks, i have 4 in my room as it is. can just about move in there. im trying to get a good picture so i can sex my acara, he's about 3 inches, maybe just over. i believe they can be sexed at about 3 inches so i'm hoping for some help. i have read acaras spawn...
