so long as your temp doesn't bounce all over, i would add the danios. most danios i've had have been extremely hardy fishes. i like to use them for tank cycling and they typically wind up as a nice snack down the road.

cool stuff!! i've been contemplating building some 'lightshows' for my tanks. great pics and info

^^ eggcrate divider is gonna have to be mojo~strength. my knockoff version was obliderated by a startled 5" festae one body length away. blammo

mmm no experience with dovii but had a female GT lay a batch of eggs with only a juvie female convict in the tank. all eggs eaten in ~3 days, never happened again.

i run an fx5 comboed with a large sponge filter on a 75g. you can do it!

this thread is hellagreat. bump for votes

nice pickups dudes. cmon round II ~ i wanna post trimac pics lol

grammodes or salvini. both are apparently on the shy side, but ime they became very active and 'there' with time. the grammodes beg for food like mad...

Get a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter. yep gfci and elevate!

wow thats some trip. great photos. i enjoyed the triggerfish and the warriors. can you please elaborate on the monkey head soup. that is too mondo!!

whichever filter you choose, buy at least one size larger than the aquarium size recommended on the box. and run multiple filters. ie canister+hob and look into eheim classic

my guess was cichlasoma

dovii>>>peas.

ime if he doesn't eat the peas, he dies. but there must be alternative treatments/meds other members use. is this oscar in the same tank as the umbie that's been damaged ??

maybe too late.. and because of your location, but i have 6 foot lengths of inlet/outlet tubing for a 2217. in edmonton.

this behavior is why i prefer gravel over playsand with new worlds. colorful!

i just went and gave my 2217s hugs. aaahhhhh

from the zit like description you give, i've seen similar pimples once or twice on convicts. would always clear up ~48 hours later. i figured it to be physical aftermath after scrapping/chasing. hasn't led to worse conditions in my experience.

nice pickups

yeah any shyness in him will drain out quick. a future glass banger

the festae pair idea. mine are now in a 150 display tank and i am sooo glad that was the setup selected.

mm laser pointers. 15$ at the pet shop and only like 4$ at the dollar store. cept the dollar store ones can be bunk and work like trash for 15 minutes. LP used to drive the convicts crazy. i would rush the egg pile with the beam and the cons would go nutso. like my cat lol.

i know i am raising one old thread but i founf another source that says 8" TL for RIP. the book is pocketpro cichlids (advertised in TFH for months now) with classic pbass pic on the cover. i say RIP destroys that max size. he is huger!!!!! oh yeah, the book as a guide has excellent photos.

nice pick up

he's looking awesome. what a beast
