i have thought of not doing angelfish and going with a few more Rainbow Cichlids. Actually came across a nice Chocolate Cichlid i could pick up from a friend thats about 6 inches now. As for the convict i already have her, and she might get more aggressive down the road, but i have had her for...

So ive decided to go with 4 angels watch for a pair move 2 over to the 55g. 1 Blue acara, 4 German Blue rams, Firemouth, Convict, 2 Rainbow Cichlids, SAE and BN Pleco. Might throw some dither fish in there not sure on which ones yet though. Definetly whatever dither i put in can't have plant...

yeah wasn't sure on the oscars, im thinking that the Oscar/JD idea maybe out of the question, seems they are really territorial and won't work. On the convict i have a 3inch female and she is very peaceful right now. When i first got the firemouth he would chase the rams up out of the plants...

Im going to be going with a 75g planted tank Rena xp3 filter and aquaclear 70, i currently have on my 55g. Although I might stick with the Magnum 250 and the Rena. I currently have a Blue Acara, 2 German Blue Rams, Convict, Firemouth, and a Bristlenose pleco. I was looking for ideas for...

Thats where I have been back and forth it seems to have signs pointing both ways the second spine on fin is higher it wouldnt put it up and let me get a pic. But, that points to male. It does hav blue in the black spot but only on edges not all thru like most females. It has thick black on...

Was hoping so. Always nice for a second opinion. Thanks for the quick reply. *edit . Ive leaned both ways its still small . Hoping its a male have a local breeder with some nice females. either way just want to find a partner for "it"

Looking at this little one not sure where to go. It has a dominate 2nd spike nice black spot, but has some spangling showing in it. pictures aren't great always sits and watches me until I pull out the camera :/

Thanks for the info. I might just do that with the 20. The 55 was my first tank really liked the barbs and how they acted so I started with them kinda built the tank around what would get along with them. I have been wanting to start a cichlid tank and was thinking re homing a few fish I have...

Question on starving them. I know the barbs parrots are pretty active eaters, and im guess the Rams aren't or rather assuming. If i wanted to stick with the Rams what would be your recommendation of reloacating? All this started when my daughter wanted a tank in her room this weekend, and I...

I understand the filtration was just mentioning i had forgotten it. I had read about aqadvisor and checked it out also read its not always acurate. Just really used it as a kinda guide line to stocking really. most fish in the tank were small when i got them blue acara, blood parrot and shark...

yeah your right im a tad overstocked. think last check aqadvisor showed me with adding the 4 rams at 132%. didn't add my filration to profile it is good for stocking. 70 aquaclear and a magnum 250.

Been looking around there is alot of great information on this site. I have been looking at the Blue Rams either Bovarian or German, both look great. Tanks has been setup for 9 months. Pretty heavy planted and some caves/rocks. Recently got rid of some Bueno Aires Tetras cause they were...
