i would get 4 and hope you have a pair. most say get 6 to get a for sure pair. which you cvould get 6 but would have to get rid of some as they grew older. something else you might want to keep in mind, when they start breeding they will get very aggressive, as cichlids do, and will need to be...

its possible that they are just fighting over territory, depending on how big your tank is.

what size tank is your new one? and if its under 55g stay away from oscars and look at something smaller. firemouths possibly

they like plants, any sort of hiding place they like to rip up plants too they like plants, any sort of hiding place they like to rip up plants too

a 75g would be fine for the BGK if you didnt get the pleco. besides...a pleco that size will make a lot of waste and not do much but poop. and i wouldnt get tiger barbs with the BGk, they tend to be nippy fish. think of a more peaceful fish that is big enough to not get eaten by the BGK...

dwarf gouramis are slow and sorta lazy when it comes to fry. they like to chase but if thier fed enough dont bother eating. you could try an angelfish, but once full grown your neons might be at risk. and im sure your pleco has his own at a few of them also, even the neons. feed every other day...

only problem with getting so many is finding them homes as they get bigger. 5 would be fine in that tank, they might like some more plant cover though. normally if you buy discus from the area they will have the same or close to same water conditions. aclimate them over an hour or so in a...

i would get one dwarf gourami and see how it went you have a large tank and if you have something for the fish to set territories up with theyll be fine. your tank is actually understocked, IMO, that is until your livebearers start popping out fry like no other and umm...my betta and dwarf...

by whitespot, do you mean ich? its brought on by stress. and supposedly once they get it they cant again. its not exactly the shippers fault. and you should say who the shipper is so that people know that this shipper should probably be passed up if anyone else has had the same experiances...

paradise fish are like bettas or gouramis and should none of the three should be put together. even guppies with large colorful tails can get torn apart or killed. paradise fish are a gamble. depending on what you want depends on how he will act. just get one. if his authority feels as though...

anything deep rooting. amazon swords, anubias-dont plant it goes on wood, i think some wentiis might work too its a hit or miss situation

i doubt its caused from any sort of stress. i dont like tiger barbs, but i also highly doubt they have anything to do with whats happening. and for getting another...i think these 2 need to get better first. ive never heard of a fish getting stressed because thier M/F ratio isnt correct. as...

try feeding him a shelled pea. if his scales are sticking out then it is coning...and has dropsy. http://www.fishjunkies.com/Diseases/dropsy.php

the only thing i would put with a pair of convicts is probably...an oscar? and even then he'd get beaten up. any fish you put with them they will shred to the point they cant swim and then knaw on them slowly until they die. maybe you should just stick with two pairs of cons? the black and the...

try aquabid. you can see what people say about the fish and they have great deals and some good fish and look at some of the fish at rocky mountain discus...a lot of them look stunted. thats the bad thing about ordering online. you see the great quality of parents and then you dont get as high...

i agree, a few more tiger barbs to make the school complete and then you could do smaller cichlids like listed above also. you cant really keep anything bigger with them...you could TRY angelfish but its really not recommended to but its done often enough with success

different people will say different things neons and angels can go together...best results are if you get the angels real small after the neons are settled. i keep angels, a betta, and a gourami together. my gourami and betta sleep next to each other. i dont think its fair to say it wont work...

the pH is fine. discus arnt big pussys, they can deal with pH up to 8 and breed in it if acclimated right and kept stable. wood will soften the water i would say stress. thier new. give them time. thats a really big tank they were put into and more adequate hiding places would help. laeve the...

personally i would let nature takes its course :) theyll always be more, and its always its exciting having babys!

How long have you had the tank running? 9 months How long have you had the discus? 6 months What's the tank temp? 83F Do you add dechlorinator during the water changes? If so, what kind? yes, novaqua How big are the discus? 3.5-4" What do you feed them? bloodworms, brine shrimp, veggies...

i just shot that video a few moments ago. they came out a big to eat but that is it. still very stressed, and the white patches around his head are still there im getting pimafix ASAP thanks for the fast response.

i have asked on other forums without much other help. im hoping someone here can help me. dont know what it is, i noticed it yesterday night but everybody was acting as usual so i didnt htink much of it. now thier all hiding and wont come up and see me. one has these white patches on his...

stick with flourite...and id recomend about 2 inches or so...2 bags of the stuff would be fine, and then covering it with gravel to keep debris and dust from clousing the tank. cycle for about 2 months, fishless or not, before you think about discus. great plants would be the amazon sword...

most likely the question once hes grown up and become accumstomed to the tank..is what wont this fish kill.

i used to feed mine convicts right after they would hatch. what they didnt go after and pick off the bottom they would eat after they started freeswimming. because your raising the fish...and know they dont have anything wrong with them i see no problem with the parasites. they wouldnt have...

id say the darker is maybe an F1 or F2, closer to wild generation. but most likely got red turq and green in em the other is just a pigeon blood, possibly silver pigeon blood.

anybody know anything about this fish? min. tank size ive heard is 29g because they dont move around a whole lot. anybody have them?
