Very elegant looking Oscar tank! :thumbs:

Incredible :thumbs:

Incredible! :thumbs:

Chuco Godmani?

Yup yup....your turn Nick

Here's a fairly easy one to help get the game going again!

Herichthys Deppi

Hey, You can get away with the 65 for a while, but as he gets closer to 10 inches he's gonna feel crowded in a 3 foot tank, and probably get grumpy, lying on the bottom and sulking. at 12 inches I had to move mine from his 90 into a 125, even a four foot tank looks small with a foot long fish! As for sand in the bottom.....I would use gravel instead, Oscars shovel sooooo much, and the stirred up sand can end up destroying the impeller in your filter. And later once it's bigger two filters is a must. They are awesome fish, but they are messy messy messy! Good luck :thumbs:

OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH!

Pisces has some! Was in today!

We are currently using zebra nerite snails for algae control, because there seem to be no brackish Plecos. They are fine with our Green spotted puffer.

Agreed, A texas & a jewel.

Thanks, It takes a while for greyhounds to retrain their bodies after racing, she spent all of her time going in 60km/hr bursts, for 623 metres, only making left turns, so in a fast run, if she tried to go right, she could tear a muscle, pull a tendon, or break a leg. But now that she's been off the track for a while, walking 5 Km a day, and playing with us and other dogs, she's a lot more nimble. But she is still really clumsy lol.

If it's fully fenced, she can go to the large off leash by my house, but without fences its not an option, Holly tops out at about 60km/h, if she see's a squirrel...... she's history. The other main problem is little dogs that look like bunnies, she ummmmmm.....gets excited! She is getting better at listening off leash, however sometimes the prey drive is too much. They can be lazy if they are allowed to be. They spend 20 hours a day in a crate at the track, so they are used to being immobile.(Thats why they make great apartment dogs).They are sprinters, so they are not used to walks or long runs, their lungs and muscles aren't trained for it, it takes a bit of conditioning, But if you walk them, and teach them to play they come around. Holly walks between 2 - 6 km per day, and we take her hiking every weekend. But in the house, she goes and lays down, and she's never under foot. The perfect city dog. But when she sees her leash she turns into a kangaroo, it's the happiest part of her day! On a side note, a large number of dogs at the off leash areas, are not trained at all, I've seen far too many out of control dogs with no owners in sight, or dogs attacking unsuspecting dogs, and their owners don't care, so I try to limit my visits to un-busy times. If a dog gets aggressive Holly remedies the situation quickly, She's rolled a Doberman, a Golden Lab, and a husky, and it's over before you can blink, especially if a dog jumps at her Mommy or Daddy,(but especially the Mommy) She hasn't hurt any, she just makes her point known! And no aggresion toward humans, ever.

She is one happy girl now that she no longer has to race! She's learned so much about being a dog in the last year.... including how to use stairs.... that was scary at first! It's like having a giant - wide eyed puppy! I wasn't sure at first about adopting an ex racer... but I must admit, she's the best dog I've ever owned!

I'm looking forward to hearing updates as you go, I would love some natural solutions, and less water waste. Keep us posted! :thumbs:

The boston looks very suave! lol

She can break a Bison hip bone into pieces in 10 minutes...... :boxed: I pray she never bites me!

This is our 5 year old Greyhound...Holly! Notice her beautiful Grin! This is how you stop MTS!!!!!!!! It's the ultimate cure for multiple tank syndrome.....NO time left! :rofl:

I have to agree with rudy on this one.... Just because waste dissolves and you can't see the solids anymore, does not mean it's not there! Water changes are a must! All natural environments have natural water changes, weather it's rain, river flow, even in stagnant little pools waste dissolves & seeps into the soil, and is moved around by ground water! Unfortunately nothing seeps through your aquarium glass! Sigh... Back to my 110 gallons of waterchanges! :cry:

I agree, 3 Oscars usually does not work, the weakest will get destroyed by the other 2, it's either 2, or have 5 or more.

Yup Yup. I guess I shouldn't have posted a pic of her last week huh? Lol Your turn Parachromis

No but close!

Whooooo Yeah. Okay here we go.

I think the dempsey's and what looks like pseudotropheus demasoni, may give the Betta a little trouble. but you can always try.....just stand by with a net.
