How long do these live ? The one I have now is at least 5 but I think it's closer to 7 . Im wondering because I want some harliquin shrimp and I dont want them to eat him.
I kinda am. My moms b-day is 4/13 so the friday the 13th thing dosent realy get me but, every time I name one of my fish it dies or goes mia in like a weeks time.
Another note on there aggression. When I would feed them some gold fish the jack would grab one and beat it on some large rocks till it was in pieces then eat the smaller bite sized chunks. I think the only meaner fish you can get would be a red devil.
No all thoes will most likely end up eaten or beat to death. I had one in a 90 gal with two fire mouths and two oscars and all was well till I moved. I put the jack and fire mouths in a smaller tank and jack got down rite angry. If hes dead set on it let him. Some ppl have to learn the hard way...
Ohh i must have missed the part about the other fish. What kind is he? Mine wasnt good at catching the feeders either. He would swim at them with his mouth wide open then get em when they hit the corner. I thought it was funny, kinda reminded me of a whale lol.
You should just start with the 90. I had a jack and two fire mouths when I had mine. They all got along fine. The only thing I didnt realy like was the oscars poop is freakin huge. It was like I had a small dog in there.
I dont think thats to bad of a deal. If you wanted to do a 150 gal from scratch it would run ya a bit more then that. Im positive the tank, light, stand, top, and all that rock would be well over 850.
I did a google search and it pulled up a youtube review of it and the guy said it was kinda loud. It didnt sound any louder then normal to me. But I've fallen asleep to that noise for years.
Are the rubber caps on the ends of the propeller ? Are they in the correct spots in the filter? Some times I have to wiggle the top piece that holds the top of the propeller and the botem of the in take tube. Are there any obstructions hitting the blades?
