    SA/New World stocking help for a 110ga

    severums dont need to be in schools. i would do 6 clown loaches. they have a lot of personality and like moving around the bottom of the tank as a group. i like that stock tho. black cons and dempseys are some of my favorite fish. red belly means female so keep that in mind when buying convicts...

    Sexing a Jack Dempsey

    Males have brighter more vivid colors and are larger. The dorsal fin would round off at the tip, not pointed like males.

    75 gal. stock advice.

    I didnt know this. I think the one i liked was a heckilli. I hope im spelling that right. Someone suggested a firemouth. They are kinda cool looking. Ive kept the fighting down really well in my other tanks. Dont want to go back down that road again. Lol.

    75 gal. stock advice.

    I think im going to pass on the discus. Seems like alot of work and expense. Im going with the shark stock list with a redtail shark, a pair of botias and a banjo catfish, some kribensis and a geophagus. As for the top layer, can i add an african butterfly. They seem pretty cool and laid back...

    75 gal. stock advice.
