I have a 125 gallon tank with a16" Oscar , 8-9" Jack Dempsey 10" tinfoil bard 18" spotted gar and 20" pleco , If I buy a 18-20" silver arowana would the arowana kill anything or get killed ?

Those fish are amazing Kay.

Kay bee 19 are those your cichlids? And yeah my oscars are amazing, my mom calls them her water pups

I choose sa ca cichlids over Africans any day. To me they just have so much more personality and they get bigger which is cooler.

Cories are so peaceful, I used to have three in a 37 gallon with my tiger barbs. They are always active and amazing to watch. The tiger barbs were a bit nasty but if I can give one solid word of advice: heed the advice of others if they say a fish is too aggressive. Don't just try it an hope it...

Very cool. I really like the setup, I wish I could actually set up rocks and driftwood like that. My oscars and Jack Dempsey move all the caves plants and wood where they want it lol

Ok, thank you

But at least it's not two males right? I got rid of the eggs and now the Oscars have calmed down. I'm still keeping an eye out for really ba aggression just in case.

Hey good news (I think)! I think it was breeding behavior, because one of the oscars laid eggs.

Then what are they doing when they like swim completely vertical over the rock and bte at it.

It's a minor jaw lock or bump on occassion. There is never really a chase or a long battle.

125 gallon

I think my two oscars may be a breeding pair. But is it possible if one is 12" and the other is 6"? They jaw lock and bump each other now and again but they both hover together around a flat rainbow rock I have and they both "chew it" they look like plecos sucking on it. Is this normal breeding...

Gravel is not necessary. It provides some media for bacteria to grow on but the majority is in your filter. It's more of an aesthetic preference.

How many people here make there own food? I would love some recipe ideas, I kind of want to try and make my own fish food.
