Oi shane you kept that hush about getting them

I got these guys as a "SPUR OF THE MOMENT" Kind'A thing, they are both 9inches, put the tape to them out of the water when putting them in the tank, they was in a 3x1x1'ish with a Gibby the same size as the Oscars and there was also an Arowana in with them with one eye.

now they are loving it in a 120G

[Xenosis]

=(

 

[Spishkey]

does he come out at feeding time. what tankmates does he have?
a week really isnt a long time dont worry

 

[Lokemer]

Yes one is named sergio and the second is arrogonnes or how ever you spell that (in tribute to mad magazine)

 

[Spishkey]

cool names!

 

[Lokemer]

Thanks. I wonder how many people on this forum grew up reading mad or if they still read it today

he comes out yeh, but then he goes straight to his corner.
He has a small goldfish in there that i used to cycle the tank.
I think he is trying to eat it because it is missing fins

 

[shelaghfishface]

for goodness sake, course hes trying to eat it,, get the GF out and rehomed

why did u use goldfish anyway, they are just as susceptible to ammonia and nitrite as other fish .. fishless cycles or cloning is the way to go, not harming fish cos u have no paitence

Ive never cycled such a big tank before. Ive never used a canister filter, and i doubt my little 40 litre or 30 litre tanks media would help much at all.
I cant buy pure ammonia in Australia because people make bombs with it, trust me ive tried to get my hands on it.
In australia its the only option to cycling a tank. I had 4 feeder fish in there, then i removed 3 and there in a pond outside
Its not a matter of paticience, its a matter of not being able to do fishless cycle's in australia.
I just used 4 simple feeder fish's, They were guna get fed alive to something, so i don't see the difference for me using them and then putting 3 of them in a pond outside once im finished with them...
