Wow 28 or 29 years old? Ive heard of black sharks living into their 20's but pushing 30! Thats crazy! Really great fish but they are nasty! My black shark just killed my 11-12 inch Texas Cichlid a few months ago. And as you know Texas cichlids arent pushovers. I really miss him, he was a really...

Ive got a 15 inch black shark they are awsome, send me a pm if you are still looking for info on them, I can help you out!

I have a Black Shark who is 15 inches long :good:

Thanx for the compliment!!! And yeah, black sharks are great fish but they are pretty evil :crazy:

Well here is my fish list: CA/SA Dempsey (7 inches) Devil (12 inches) Green Terror (3 inches) Convict (3 inches) Jaguar (9 inches) Africans: Jewel (2 inches) Yellow Lab (6 inches) Cobalt Blue (5 inches) Red Zebra (5 inches) Albino Red Zebra (4 inches) Acei (4 inches) New guy, cant remember...

Thank you guys!!

I know puffers are mean little suckers but is a puffers agression level on par with african cichlids? Would puffers kill my africans or would my africans kill the puffers? Or are the puffers tough enough that they would simply keep each other at bay?

I 2nd this, Red Tails and cichlids, african or american do very well togeather. If you get an agressive shark, it will kill anything you put in with it other than cichlids. They tend to get along with cichlids very will though. Got one myself with a bunch of mbuna's, great match. Assuming you...

Uhh tried that once, the red tail shark completly shreaded the betta within a matter of HOURS. Betta was not even recognizable...

He was an electric blue ahli I believe that is how you spell it, the blue was actually consiterably bigger than the zebra but I guess its not the size of the fish in the fight its the size of the fight in the fish that matters most. Blue didnt make it either:( Actually I do have a mixed tank...

Well, they both are africans so its not like I put the zebra in with a betta or something.

Got home to find out of nowhere my red zebra shreaded my electric blue, I noticed the zebra going after him last night but didnt give it a second thought since they have been tankmates for a long time. Got home today to find the blue just in pieces. Ive got him in the isolation tank but I dont...

Wow, your gonna insult and start an argument with these other posters over semantics?? Mean=Naturally agressive, use a little common sense, it dosent take a rocket scientist to realise that the original posters intent was not to suggest that this fish was evil but infact does have a nasty...

Depends on if its a redtail shark or a rainbow shark. Even though most sources list them both at a max length of 5-6 inches, Ive never had a rainbow shark even get anywhere close to that, its pretty accurate for the redtail though.

I for one never understood what the big deal is about hybrid fish. I bet 75% of all the dogs out there are muts, isnt that sorta the same thing, a mix between two other breeds? You dont see anyone huffing and puffing over a lab/shepard mix. I came to the conclusion a long time ago that most...

Never did get your final judgement:)

Yeah it would be neat:) Id love to see what a plec and an angelfish would yield:)

Please no flaming, I really dont know the answer to this! Understanging the liklihood of this happening would be basically zero, however I was wondering if it is even physically possible for fish of different groups to produce fry? For example, a red tail shark and an african cichlid, or a tetra...

Ive heard the same thing about the leps, so far no agression at all, I got him at about an inch and a half and he's now probably 3-3.5 inches, but they max out at 12 so he still has some growing to do and with that new behavior could emerge. Ive heard that they are very tough fish, they...

Thank you! I was able tonight to get a few shots of the severum as well as the jewel cichlid and a few more good ones of the other fish:)

Interaction is unbelievable. The Dempsey always swims around with the africans as if he were one of the pack. The devil and the Black shark are clearly the alpha fish in the tank and are completly and wisley left alone, the africans just swim out of their way. The funny thing is every morning...

Thanx for the compliments and kind words:) Ive put lots of hard work into this community over the years!!

Would a darker gravel be beneficial to the fish health wise in any way? Aditionally, what would be the best way you think to replace that much gravel in a 125G tank with minimal disturbance to the fish?

I agree, I also agree that purists can certainly be a militant bunch cant they:) Ive always mixed and never run into trouble. No reason to change the way I keep fish now. My biggest concern in the very beginning was agression but the Devil and Black shark are so big all the africans just avoid...

Well, speaking for only myself. In my experience Ive found the ph level concerns to be way overblown and very much all to do about nothing. I know some fish keepers would agree with me and others would most certainly disagree. Fish adapt to different ph levels extremly well. And its not like we...

1st the big ones, sort of the centerpieces of the community, the red devil: And the black shark: Here is a shot of em togeather: The electric blue: The cobalt blue: The electric yellow and jack dempsey: The zebra: the lerperinus: Not pictured here: green severum jewel cichlid...

Id say for future reference, keep your shark with cichlids, really they make better cichlid tankmates than they do with anything else because just like cichlids their personalities vary, some are nasty as hell and need to be with other agresive fish.

Wow, Id say that a red tail black shark would tear through that list of fish in time for dinner.

Oh almost forgot,a Banded Leporinus is another fish that will do really good with africans, just google the name, they look like leopard sharks, very cool! Ive got one in my cichlid tank right now, he's great!

I actually had an Auratus try to take on my Red Devil once. The Auratus got whooped but the point is that he tried:) They are pretty mean little guys.

Angels and Africans are not really a good mix, It can be hard to find fish to mix with africans because they are grumpy little buggers:) One fish that you can mix with cichlids would be a Red Tail Shark. Not a rainbow shark, you can tell the difference as a rainbow has all red fins, a red tail...

I was just wondering in case I ever decided to get one. It would definantly sway my decision.

Evil but cool:)
