he was small, less then an inch. He was a hitch hiker on my live rocks, was 2 years old

My six line ate my pistol shrimp

3 oscars and 3 tinfoil barbs?

Thanks, all the fake plants will be gone soon as I am going to spend a few $100 on live plants.

I bought my 65 gallon tank at a garage sale this summer for $25.00. Off and on I worked on building the stand and hood, its been done for a month or so. The tank is in front of my bed so this is what it looks like while laying in bed Here is a fish

One of the Oscars went after the Loach and it bearried itself in the gravel, was kinda neat

Total crap They love goldfish and they went after the tigers but havent eaten them as of yet

I thought plecos only ate algae

My Oscars make a big mess when they eat, but never clean up the mess on the ground. I need a bottom feeder that will get along with the Oscars. what do you recommend?

Im not new to fish tanks, I have a reef tank. I was just wondering what fish would be compatible with the Oscars. Im thinking they will kill or eat everything I put in the tank. They are very happy in their new home and swim together around the tank. they show no aggression towards each other.

Just started a new 65 gallon tank. Bought 3 Large Oscars, 2 Red and 1 Tiger. All of them are over 5 inch long, got em for $6.50 each, such a deal. My question is what other fish can I put in there that they wont eat? I will get fish as large as, or almost as large as them.

I just filled my 65 gallon tank. What do I do to get the cycle going?

Ok Im gonna do two 6500K and two 12,00K That should cover the full spectrum and give a nice color to the eye

So I should get two 6500K and two 10,000K to ballance each other out and make a wider spectrum?

Im going to buy four 39 watt T-5 lamps but dont know what bulbs to buy. This is for a 60 gallon tank with plants and fish Should I just get four 6500k lamps? or should I mix it up. Please tell me what you think
