I went ahead and got another black moor goldfish. 2 in the tank is max but they are small right now. Maybe it will help some. I will get some prime as soon as I can and see if the LFS guy will give me some media from one of his Goldfish tanks.

I have a 30g cold water tank I'm doing Black moors White clouds and some Hillstreams. I have been cycling with one Black moor for about a month. My ph comes out of the tap at 7.2 Well even a day after I get about 7.6. My nitrates stay at zero and my amonia stays at .5 and gets maybe 1.0 right...

I read that goldfish adapt to it by adjusting their internal body temp. It increases their matabolism but makes it harder for them to breath. I have a over sized bubble wall in it so I'm good. Either way I'm not sure what to do about it because the temp sits at 72-74 with no heater in it. Sent...

So I started to cycle a new 29g aquarium. I was going to fishless cycle but my mother got me three black moore goldfish from walmart (I know). 2 of them ended up dying. Well Ive been keeping my aquarium at about 74. Then I started talking to my LFS guy about getting dwarf gouramis and some neons...

I think its safe to say none of it is fact. Due to the diversity of Oscar personality. However what is fact Is if you have enough territory room and clean enough water for fish to be healthy and test your water regularly then your fish are going to be healthy. And I was wrong to say 600 gph. I...

I think my filtration can handle the bioload. I am filtering at over 600 gph. With bottom agitation to kick up some of it to the filters. That's not really at question here. I think the fx6 could do it by itself IMO but I'm going above and beyond because I understand the bioload will be pretty...

Yeah I can see that. I like the albino Sengals but the one big one would be cool too.

Ok so I have a new theory for setup. 2 O's, 3 rapheal, 2 Birchir, 5 silver dollars. 1 Banded leporinus. Maybe. Maybe get a Pleco but only if theres an Algae problem where I'm setting it up. Do keep in mind I have a grow tank. Its only 30 gallons but I can get them big enough to not get outgrown...

Ok well amazon has a 48 for like 70 And i have heard complaints of people not getting enough depth from the light and such. Im not going for the plus model just the blue and white.

And what about Birchirs

Does anyone have any advice on the setup I have listed. Mainly the light as I know next to nothing about it.

I would like to I have a 30 and if its a convict this one I'm looking at is already full grown. Might even try to breed them. That is if he can inseminate sideways.

So theres this cichlid at my LFS not sure what it is. I think its a Convict. Hes a perfectly healthy fish other than hell be swimming and all of the sudden just lay down. It was in a customers tank and it was getting beat up pretty bad by all the other fish. The owner put it in a recovery tank...

Do the Synos not also have spines? Also I was talking to the local aquarium store guy about doing a bunch of convicts as opposed to the silvers. Since the females are relatively easy to pick out from the males I could have x5 female convicts and they wouldn't really get aggressive or territorial...

I guess I never considered that.I might have to try it out. When I get my 125 up and running.
