you mean the largest growing snakehead? Channa MicropeltEs aka the giant snakehead? snakeheads are great fish, in a 75 you could go for a smaller growing species of snakehead like dwarf snakeheads. or you could go for some of the smaller Pike cichlids

Good to see everythings still good! I commented earlier in the thread saying I wish to have a tank like yours, well Now i have a 5x3x2 that I'm setting up (3' wide pretty cool) wanted you to know that I'm still inspired by your tank and stocking :D

its empty right now, how else do you think I was moving it? :shifty: My dad recently had to take apart a 50 gal and reseal it, so he does know what hes doing, he says its a slow process but it needs to be slow to do it right, anyone have any experience?

Just got a big tank, and after struggling to get it into the basement chipped a small hole in the wall, WHY does it have to be one of those basements with a turning staircase? anyway its just sitting in my kitchen now, and I'm thinking the only option is to cut the silicone and take the tank to...

thats awesome :P i've had other fish that kept doing this to me, sometimes you can be fooled for years, luckily not as tricky as african cichlids :P|Nice looking severum btw

Wills is the man, he knows all :) You know with that dimensions you could go for a biotope tank, have a group of Geos, a severum or something as your main fish, and then a group of shoaling fish, thats not including the catfish and oddballs you could add. what exactly do you want?

well 240 liters is alot more than 125, we are talking almost double the capacity, which means the larger growing cichlids that people usually avoid could live in there, are you looking for a community or a couple of large fish? because you could have more peaceful large fish like severums...

I'm impressed, i worked in an LFS when i was 15 and we had one for sale half the size of that one and it costed a ton! always wondered what it would look like in a tank lol. Looks great!

i think it will work, because the Sajica are already an established pair then if you buy the other fish small, then they will grow up knowing that the sajicas are in charge. If you got a salvini and a firemouth around the same size as the sajicas there is always a chance they will start...

Yes that would be a responsible thing to do, so i dont see any problems, Also if thats your tank in your sig, i really love that sunken battleship :D

how about a group of Geophagus? I wouldnt have more than 1 Lima shovelnose because ive kept one and they are quite large and my one was very teritorial, however he did live with a breeding pair of oscars, so they are very compatible. I would say that you could go for geo's and some larger barbs...

I believe that they are the usual tankmates for angels and rams, what they lack in striking colour they make up for with great little personalities

whats a cowbag? lol I do see your point Wills, maybe i should grow on the slower growing fish first. I like that idea, Also I had a female nic before and she was no problem. I was on seriously fish yesterday and was roaming around the site clicking like mad haha. So as long as i choose...

Its fine Hanny no offence taken! Calgary seems to be unaffected by the credit crunch, unlike Europe haha. I cant wait to see how it looks either but unfortunately it could take longer for me to emigrate but hey, the tank WILL happen. that I am certain ;) on another note, lets here some more...

Thanks for the word of warning, but I'll be living with my parents for a bit when I move, and my step dad has said he will pretty much buy the tank for me, but I want to pay as much towards it as I can, also I shouldve said earlier that I want to buy the fish as babies, so starting it off in a...

Absolutely stunning, I can't wait to see more pictures as they progress! In that size tank they will all blow up like balloons!

thanks for the responces guys I really appreciate it! @This old spouse - thank you, certainly is a better selection of fish in north America ;) and I've never though of it but yes I could have a pictus, how many should be fair? i was thinking either that or clown loaches. @Chillipepper, I do...

Hello everyone! hope you're all having a nice day and thanks for clicking on my thread... (Ive bolded the important parts if you are impatient and want to skim) Now to the point. On the 13th of july I'm going to Calgary for two weeks to visit my step dad who lives there, I'm currently in the...

I would like to clear up that the first picture i posted was the F1 offspring of the fish pictured below, unfortunately Wills I don't know the collection location of the fish. This thread is becoming really useful and interesting, a lot of this information on severum identification and...

May I suggest some of the other species you could keep, There are plenty of cichlids and they all tend to have amazing personalities that make them so interesting to own and watch, There are smaller fish such as firemouths, salvini's even Jack dempseys seem to be smaller these days then they...

yes I am on MFK too, didn't think anyone would realise just from one photo lol. so that's that cleared up. Wills, I didn't know that it's really interesting thanks for sharing, so you think that the fish I had was a red shoulder? may I add that it was part of a wild caught pair, so it is...

Wow this is such an amazing tank! I hope to get a 6x2x2 in the future and your stocking is giving me ideas ;) I don't see why people said it would be overstocked because just looking at the tank now it looks fine, tons of space. If the fish tend to get to aggressive then you could add some...

may I add Rotkeil means red neck in German, a lot of the time rotkeils are labelled as red necked or red neck, red shoulder etc. so beware of being ripped off. I have also kept Rotkeil, super red, gold, and a green severum. They all tend to get the same size and have the same personality...

MA also have a habit of telling you anything you want to buy needs a larger tank then you have, I'ts common knowledge to just tell them youre setting up a new tank every time they ask lol. As for O's they love lots of wood and rocks like any cichlid, which will also help to distribute...

If you don't mind upgrading in the forseeable future then your stock is fine, always keep the option open as there is a chance you will see a great offer somewhere :) as for the oscar I have kept a lima shovelnose with oscars with no problems, Limas tend to only get 12" although most sources...
