mine already went threw that little cute stage, and he got his tail bitten off and his left wing lol.

Well he is the same size as my big red empress hap and my living stone... so 8-9 inches maybe?

Sigh... there are different types. Some grow out to 5 feet or more. Mine was a baby at 3 inches and it grows to 12 inches with a maximum size of 15 inches, my local pet store breeds them. The manager showed me a few breeding pairs and they are only about a foot long. :rolleyes:

Oh yes I forgot to mention that you should test your ph and try to keep your water neutral in ph. In a mixed community tank you will have varied preferences so it is best to keep things more less neutral. You don’t want hard water for most small community fish. So I would test your water...

No worries glad I could help here is some more answers to your questions: :music: German rams? Nah just keep the water warm and clean and they do fine, I kept two of them in my little 5 gallon a few years ago. People think that just because they are cichlids they are aggressive. They are...

Darf frogs are cool :)

Thank you :lol: I love walking catfish but make sure you don't get one that ends up growing thicker than your arm lol! Yeah that is strange, now that is what I call a love hate realationship. :lol: He is one of my favorites! I love how he lays down on his side pretending to be dead: lol...

No that is all you really need chemical wise. (Maybe a ph buffer if your ph is too high or low in the tap water, although most fish will adapted anyways.) I would recommend testing every week for the fist month before and after water changes just to find out the effect of the water changes and...

Sorry--wasn't trying to bust on you--I am an avid swimmer and liked your name, thought maybe you were a swimmer too, or that your betta was a cool "freestyle" swimmer. Hey Look at my name, how boring and as far as I can tell, I can't change my user name. Take care. No worries lol, I was just...

Sounds like a bacterial infection to me, my first ram died because of one. I would feed anti bacterial food, Isolation and waiting is a give away. (White poo? now that is strange I some internal parasites mess fish up really bad) I hope your fish gets better, blue rams are too cute to die Yes...

Yes I agree they do fine with a little salt, also don't over dose your chemicals either it is really easy to do so in a small tank :) I used to change 50 percent of the water every week and clean out all of the gravel when I had my 7 gallon nano. It was a little overcrowded but my fish did fine...

Too wordy indeed, well I read... some of that lol. I think you could have summarized that a little better, but no worries. Well…you could go a few directions with that tank it sounds very nice. I would go with some angel fish or a ruby clown cichlid, or my personal favorite (south American...

I had a heater just like that! I lost my favorit cichlid :( the stress that it causes your fish is bad and they can get sick. I would recomend getting a refund. My heater had a little switch that turned off and on depending on what the water temperature was, if your water temp is all over the...

first most plecs are big waste producers so having a bristlenose isn't really helping-they may get rid of algea but you have to deal with the extra poop. They may also get stunted in a small tank. They don't only need a "small piece of wood". I don't even think they eat wood- they need a proper...

thanks bro :drinks:

I'm a guitar player... I do a lot of song writing and recording for my band too. Most of our practices are jam sessions. (Basically freestyle I guess) I skateboard with my band and I like to free style that’s like it, lol give me a break it was the first thing that poped into my mind I just...

bump

I drive out to the city and buy food and chemicals in bulk. A pet store called Hidden reef aquatics, they sell me my fish and I take them home in a 4 gallon plastic tubbaware type container. It is an hour drive :(. I guess it is a little annoying but at least all the fish I buy are healthy and...

If you just keep with small neons and danio's you should be fine. Is your tank cycled yet?I would add one small corry if you are sticking with neons and danio's [assuming your tank is cycled if not then don't add anything else until it is] because they are good bottom feeders and you don't want...

Hey you know it could be a dwarf freshwater puffer. If thats the case he should be fine in the 10 gallon. I would find out exactly what kind of puffer he is, they are very nice fish and probably one of the only oddballs small enough to keep in a 10 gallon. The only problem is that he gets very...

yeah... that sucks. I know how you feel though I hate pets mart and pet cetera or "pet-Ignorance" as I call them.

weird! but he looks really cool, kind of reminds of my living stone cichlid, exept your fish looks 20 times more like a rock than mine lol. your tank looks awesome by the way! :good:

Nice plant work! I love the glass catfish too :D

lolz... that is one way of looking at it

:lol: you said it

wow what a nice set up you have! :drool:

Thank you, Hmmm really? Well perhaps I should keep a close eye on him, as it stands now I have a hard time imagining my cichlids turning violently aggressive. However as you suggested they are unpredictable. Also he seems to have no problems defending him self since my particular parrot fish...

Again you are not reading my posts... sigh I hate repeating myself..but I will with more detail this time since you don't seem to get it. I feed them spirulina flakes in the morning and then in the afternoon. At night I feed them brine shrimp and krill. I got this stratagy from...

What about chocolate? uh sorry thats the best I could come up with, it has a good ring to it thought don't you think?

I am not too keen on having one. You are not even taking the time to read my posts properly so I don't think arguing would solve much. Remember there is more than one way to do anything and my way seems to be working perfectly fine. You have a nice day. Stay open minded :rolleyes:

Read my post I edited it. I think you dead wrong no offence. oh and I never said mbunaI said "cichlids" now I really have no clue what you are getting at, you seem a little stressed out. I think you need to calm down and try reading my post... you know with your eyes.

LoL All African cichlids are not rock dwellers the big ones are haps silly I feed them both algy wafers and frozen food to keep them all healthy. I have large rock dwellers as well as dwarf ones. The parrot fish is a hybrid species with no definite water preferences, they prefer neutral to high...

:lol: Well to each his own I guess

I like him, whats his name? :lol:

No worries, well the best thing to do is take a little visit down to the pet store tomorrow and talk to Mr. Fish breeder dude. Since my fish isn't going to grow 50 cm over night I think I will ask him for the spices scientific name so that I can look them up on the internet. He is a nice guy, he...

Well perhaps I should thank you for your concern but like you said a lot of the walking catfishes and some look very similar. Mine had its tail bitten off by one the more aggressive cichlids at a young age. He is a clumsy slow swimmer because of this. One of the cichlids in my tank is already 9...

mmmmm I like all flat fish, and trout. yummy

http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/speci...p?species_id=90 he is one of these guys, It says here that there maximum size is 15 inches, and I also read on another spread sheet that they only get about a foot. The owner of my local pet store breeds them I doubt he is lying to me. Are you...

Thanks :) It is called a walking catfish I think. They get kinda big 12 inches I was told. I remeber when I first got him he was probably 3 inches long and my cichlids looked like neons :D

That looks really cool, nice idea :nod:
