I agree

Deff dont move the pair. Leave 'em

Facinating

:good:

Have a minimum of 75G for the 2. A 4 ft is way too small.

I got a bloke from my lfs to help me and turns out to be bristlenose. He said that the tank I brought them from was in bad condition, so most were stunted. I think they were in a 3G or something? I thought they could live in small quarters like bettas so I brought them. Only thing I regret is...

It could go ape and the small angels pick on the larger ones. But what are the chances of that.

I supose theres no need. Plants hate salt aswell. Win-Win

Righteo.

Yes I will do water changes, I soaked the wood in hot water for about 30 mins and put it in the tanks. Sank right away. probably pre waterlogged at the lfs? I posted in NWC because Im lazy.

The GT will already have the advantage of size.

Sounds great. Get 'curly' driftwood/bogwood or stuff that provides caves and protection so other fish can escape the rainbows.

I've put large peices of driftwood into my 2 tanks and want to get rid of the colours produced. Im thinking of buying this product called 'Bamboo Carbon' to take the colours out. This is what it says; "After bamboo is smouldered to a high temperature it becomes bamboo carbon which contains...

Lisa you make everything sound worse. Angels are cichlids, not thier agressiveness could be good or bad. But if you buy two, they're not always gonna be a breeding pair!!!!! Calm down and relise if they grow up with smaller fish they'll learn to live with them. Thus having a reduced risk of...

STAY AWAY FROM BLUE DOLPHINS!!!!!! They are african cichlids and will kill the other fish, rule the roost and grow to 9-10". They require special tanks dedicated to just afrcian cichlid. Careful planning there.

The day I see a clown loach grow 7" in a year, it must be on steriods or streched. Lol

You need a high tank for angels.

Sounds like its going pretty smooth.

Thats the ovaries filling up with eggs. Thats what makes female fish thicker.

But you'd want to be able to possibly add more fish/parrots in the future so I'd get a minimum of 75.

The result would be a nice looking fish I presume.

I dont mind when people buy hybrids. Probably happens in mature. But buying dyed fish really shÃŽts me off.

Got a whole tank shot?

Mine? My step dad has had it since the 70's and when he moved in, set this up. From then my love of fish has branched out. But now he claims to know best from keeping a couple of goldfish and some other. Says I cant buy a filter because a internal one is perfect. He doesnt know anything.

Time will tell.

Convicts dont back down. As for firemouths. Depends.

I would keep it below 1 teaspoon per gallon.

The FH may take advantage of your GT. I meant by justify as in, what other people thought.

Any cichlids?

Its not that planted is it? Just some ground things. Add Java Fern on to the bogwood.

Some big bright maxima clams or corals would spruce things up.

I live in a place where one end is like a city, 3 kms down the road and its all bush. I'd buy cheap land and build. That is, when I get old enough. Its always the missus that stops us doing great things...

Such a lovely fish. A 3 foot pacu could bite a finger off. They have those large human like teeth because in thier natural habitat they eat nuts and fruits falling off trees. They crush thier food good.

Deff not a livebearer. I would like to own a 2 foot livebearer. Almost all fish lay eggs. Perhaps you could spawn them when they get larger? The fat tummy is probably the ovaries filling up with eggs because of proper feeding and living conditons.

Doesnt take much to interupt breeding. On the other hand it takes a bomb to make then stop.

Do discus like salt? Cause plecs dont?

Yeah, that stuff does the trick. Also massive water changes and better care. Hexamita usually attacks fish with lacking care. Such as feeding and water. But all is easily fixed.

Could probably fit 6 or so in.

Because Gt's are a semi-large cichlid, they grow slower. This is just my weird view, but I just stereo-typicaly think of GT's are calm-ish.

Im presuming Jags are more agressive than FH's but I wanted to justify some things. I dont think GT's are that all agressive. But are still not placid.
