You can only hope that people find them a more suitable home as they get bigger, as I will have to do in a while :)

If that were happening in my aquarium, I wouldn't be taking photos!

Thanks for all your advice :) It would be so much easier if I didn't like them, lol! But then what would be the point :D Night.

I'll obviously have to rethink things :S I'd recommend a scat to anyone who has the room for one, I fell in love with mine, which is where it all went wrong... lol. They have such huge personalities, will eat out of your hands, love to be the centre of attention... But very full on. Mine chases...

Aw, he's lovely. Oscars are beautiful. I'll rethink the Jaguars, my scat might just have to fly solo!

Do you think one jag and one scat is okay? And I'll rehome the bristlenoses. But i cant decide which other catfish to remove... It'll be harder to give away my Pictus, I've had him a long time! But I REALLY want the gibbiceps, I'm looking forward to them getting nice and big. You'd think I'd...

I had a nice little community tank with angelfish and gouramis and a blue ram, but then about 8 or 10 months ago I got the scat as a baby thanks to some bad advice from my lfs, and changed EVERYTHING to try to accommodate him because I liked him so much. The jags are the only fish he's ever...

So I'll have 3 big fish and like 10 bottom feeders when I rehome the others.

I have 4 jags (2 big, 1 med, 1 small) 1 scat 2 synspilums (which I am trying to rehome, I gave away 3 females the other day) 4 clown loaches 2 gibbiceps 1 Pictus And a couple of bristlenose. I want to keep everything but the synspilums and smaller jags, at least for now, and will upgrade my...

One jag lives in a rock in the back left, the other lives under the mandrake root, and everyone else roams around, except they're all hiding right now because I just fed them and scat chases them all into hiding... That's him on the left.

I apologize for getting defensive, it was early, I got several posts from people telling me 'my fish will get big'... I appreciate advice as long as the tone of the message doesn't imply that I'm a horrible or stupid person! (which admittedly the one in this thread didn't, but I was already...

Thanks :)

Scats will DECIMATE any plants you put in your aquarium. I feed my dried seaweed from the supermarket but he will still devour any live plant I put in there. Java Fern is said to be poisonous to Scats, but I had one in there and he wouldn't touch it, he must have known... anyway it was the only...

Scats are awesome, you will fall in love with them. I like Ruby Scats :)

I bought a ruby scat 8-10 months ago for my peaceful community tank, then got home and did my research and found out they get huge and want brackish water... But I fell in love with him, and now he is about 5 1/2 inches and in with some aggressive cichlids. I have kept him in freshwater, and I...

Yeah, I have a friend who breeds cichlids, and he gave me the jags and synspilums in an attempt to tame the dominant Scat by overstocking the tank. His words, not mine! I've gotten rid of some already... I'm selling the 2 synspilums that are left ASAP. At the moment I just have to keep on top...

I'm sorry but every time I post in a thread I get people making me feel cruel and stupid, and I'd responded to someone just prior to you who was not quite so polite in telling me that my fish would grow. Didn't mean to be snappy! The cichlids were all given to me by a breeder friend in an...

I am aware that I'll need to upgrade and eliminate several fish from the mix if I plan to keep them as they grow larger. I am aware of their fully grown size and don't plan on having them crammed in like sardines. At the moment they are juvenile and fine.

It's a temporary arrangement, obviously as they grow I'll either upgrade or sell them. I don't plan on keeping them all anyway, I'll either keep the scat or the jags, and I'm not keeping the synspilums. At the moment they're all juvenile and there is plenty of room for them.

This is my scat. I need to take pics of my jags in the day (it's night here) :)

35 gallons I think? There are some pictures on my profile, not sure how to add them to a thread?

35 gallon I think (we don't use gallons in aus) but the biggest jags are only 4 inches long. My synspilums aren't very colorful, one is almost all silver and the other is very dark.

Hi all! I'm new to the forum but have had my aquarium up and running for about a year. I started out with nice little gouramis and angelfish, but ended up with a Red Scat on the (poor) advice of my lfs. But I fell in love with him and changed everything around to suit his needs! I now have: 1...
