Breding pair

[Jrippa1982]

I was woundering since i have a 55 gal tank already set up with afican with oscars and jack dempsey with with one white and red spots convit

But i also have a breeding pair of conivt cichlids and i am just about to put up my 29 gal tank agian but i just want more than just them in the tank but what would u say leave them alone or get more fish. since i started wit ha 29 gal tank before getting the 55 gal tank.

If it were me and depending on what Africans you have, I would put the Africans in the 29g and leave the JD and Oscar in the 55g. You will need some great filtration for the 55g also since for a 55g is a bit too small for the Oscar alone. I'd recommend a minimum of a 75g for the Oscar and JD.

wouldn't it be ok is they was baby oscars for now anyways??

I had afican in there and the jd there is two of them a male and a female theny came out of my fathers 75 galt tank so of sourse they are the biggest in the tank but there also with fronts too and alot of more fish and they havent really beat up the smallerfish since they are in there to make sure the aggersivee in the tank stays to a minum so not all the fish would get picked on since there is 6 tanks of just cichlids and i also habe a just about 3in make of the yellow lab and before i had 2 females and they both died off from somthing wrong but there is more yellow labs in the rest of the tanks and i would end up using the fry or when they get big engugh to be a feeders

If you have a pair of cons getting ready to breed, I would put them in the 29g and after the fry are big enough on their own, you could move the parents back.
If you leave them in the other tank, they are going to start fighting with everything else in there defending their babies.

(One more small suggestion, proof read your posts. They are difficult to understand. Thanks and no offence intended)
