Second Attempt 110L

[Jay1983]

lol I haven't seen all of Universe.. Hubby was in Iraq when it aired and I was preggo and wrestling a 1 year old. No TV time then. I'll have to buy it soon.

I treat this forum like a chatroom. Sorry Jay

I have been thinking seriously about some GBR's. I'm so nervous about their sensitivity though. {fishy talk}

lol no need to say sorry!!!

They are great miss, fantastic fish... what sort of water params you got?? they like soft water but that is easily achieved with using a combination of ro and tap... acidic water but they will be fine anything from a ph 5-7. I've seen some people calling these fish boring in the tropical discussion part of this forum... don't understand that they are beautiful in colour terms absolutely stunning, they are constantly moving and mine always come up to the glass to greet me.

I saw people saying Bolivians are boring too, but I love them. I might try some GBR's then sometime.

Yeah Bolivians are great I hear they can be even better if you have a big enough tank and they are kept in small groups!!

A group of 6 looks awesome, but you'd be looking at a 4ft tank as a minimum.

Something I'd love to have... would Bolivians be ok with Angels as that may be a future project.

 

[minnnt]

Yep, that is an often used combination. I would have to favour Keyholes though, but that is personal preference. Krobia would be worth a look also.

there are to many fish to choose from! would keyholes be kept in groups too then or just pairs?

 

[minnnt]

I would keep a group, but i'm greedy. Ultimately, for me, Rainbow Cichlids would win, but they munch plants like no tomorrow

 

[FishFanatic04]

I had 6 bolivians in my 75g with angels. I wouldn't want a group in a smaller tank.

New pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How's the Rams doing?!

 

[Jay1983]

nothing really new apart from 2 floating japonica where the rams dug it up, they seem to have started clearing a corner (digging up the hc!!) I'm very tempted to clear a corner and fill with sand.

 

[minnnt]

That made me LOL!! Hahahahaha!

Just post them to me if they're causing you hassle.
