“Will a 90g work” I mean… I haven’t seen to many “true” 24” jags in the hobby in my 30+ years. And any of the guys who’s got them to that size generally have massive 500+ type setups. However that said, anyone can grow them Out to 16-18” just because they are what they are. Clean water and...

You def don’t want to add more CA/SA cichlids… the rainbow will out grow the FM rather quickly, I would just keep an eye on them and look for any real signs of damage, maybe add some more hiding spots and re arrange the current ones. That way they are less likely to see each other and it gives...

Depends on diet and genetics of the fish. A good diet and clean water, you could see her get to 3-4-5” in a years time. I’ve had several males reach about 5-6-7” in a year. Through the years it really just depends. It’s mainly genetics. But a good diet and clean water does help. [emoji106]

Soak some sinking pellets in garlic. Get one of them jars that have minced garlic pour out like a oz of the water in it.. and let some food soak in it for a few mins then toss it in. Also try some frozen food like blood worms or black worms or brine shrimp.. beef heart… Could try some live...

Could go with a pair of Krib’s, or rams, or apisto’s, They are 3 of the more common smaller cichlids. Could easily do a pair and some tetras or Cory cats or something in there.

Lol I looked at my old profile and updated it.. said I was 29 [emoji23]?*♂️?*♂️?*♂️ 37* [emoji30][emoji30][emoji30][emoji23] And yeah I get up at 4 to be at work by 6 good ol MD/VA traffic ?

Haha nah not yet, I ain’t even got it out the car yet... [emoji23]?*♂️ that’s gonna be later this weekend. Waking up at 4 for work kills any motivation after I get home haha.

Thanks bud, it’s been a extremely long time since I’ve had a community tank haha.. I must be getting old haha. Because the whole way to pick up the tank it was gonna be a single species tank wanted to keep some Salvini again. I also almost pulled the trigger on the 75g deal too but I knew...

I’m good brotha ima take the sponges in my beta tanks and add them in the sun sun filter I just ordered and help it cycle. I also really don’t have a problem doing a fish in cycle. That’s the way I’ve always done it. Ima pull some of the westeria and Java ferns out the beta tanks and plant...

I don’t see why not, just gonna add a big bio load to the tank though so will have to add a extra water change. And they hide a lot besides when they eat. But they are cool.

Had to drive about 40 mins to go get it but I still have a 55g stand, so caught the 55g starter kit with a bunch a extras for 105$ out the door. Stock will be some EB acara’s, about 10 Congo tetras or Bueno Aires tetras, 10 or so cory cats, and a solo koi angel to eat up any babies, and...

Rule of thumb with anything, if you don’t know what it is, just leave it at a general term. Nothing wrong with mutts or hybrids. I’ve had a plethora of midevils in my day, have had some wild caught and f1’s also. If I didn’t know exactly what they were i lumped it into a midevil... Same with...

It won’t take long even at 4-5 inches that gives you roughly 5-6 months before it’s around 10” provided it’s getting a healthy balanced diet and water is changed weekly. It will eventually bully and kill tank mates maybe not the gar, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it did. A full grown male...

Def apisto’s, or Kribs. Some cory’s for the floor, some bueno Aires tetras for the mid level, maybe a koi angel or a EB acara to clean up some of that fry. I’m a big fan of schooling fish with smaller cichlids. So hatchet fish, tiger barbs, Odessa barbs, rummy nose, bengal danios, rainbow’s to...

6-10” ?*♂️ I used 10 as a max but still. Besides the bio load of a school of them plus the Oscar you will still have 5+ 6” fish in a 4’ tank with a 12” poop machine.
