You're welcome and also ask what his temperament was with other fish. Good luck

Forgot to add that my parrot is my favorite fish, he eats from my hand is fun to watch :-)

I have a parrot in with rainbowfish, opaline guarami, and a rapheal cat. It all depends on his temperament. Mine is pretty peaceful and ignores everyone except for feeding time, he's a pig. When I add a new fish he gives chase a little but after a while he loses interest. But since yours is...

Thanks I used that site when I got the fish and it said I was ok but I used juvi sizes..it did not have my geo species on there. I am more looking for personal opinions :-)

Hello all, I was given a 46 gallon bowfront with everything included. I wanted a sa/ca tank and the first fish we got was a blood parrot, my son lives them. Then we picked up a geophagus alabios (I think ) I also have 3 turquoise rainbows and a raphael cat that we never see lol. All these fish...

Oh geez I must have read ur original post wrong or without my glasses ..I thought ur ph said 7.3 ..my bad :-)

Oh I thought they were the same tempermant as Bolivian rams. Yea with discus you don't want any aggression

Maybe apistogrammas ..not sure of temp requirements but the are colorful

Frozen food 3 times a week ...combo of pellets and flakes once a day ..I have rainbowfish that eat flakes so my cichlids eat them too.

Thanks for the advice everyone...glad I found this site

I have been keeping fish for a while. I was always under the impression that an air pump was needed I always used one but now I am reading if u have good agitation from the filter its not really required. I have a 55 with 2 filters and an airpump. I also just put my 20 back up and have a hob...

I have a 55 but upgrading soon to a 120 hopefully ...it gets addicting

True dempseys are more on the aggressive side but I don't think they would mess with bala sharks. My favorite is the blood parrot. They are semi aggressive but mine is very peaceful he is my favorite in the tank, awesome personality. Check them out and also the blue acara is a nice looking fish.

If you don't want to mess with ph then africans are out. Do some research on central and south American cichlids. I'm a fan of geophagus they can grow to be very colorful. Also jack dempseys, acaras and severums have nice color when grown.

No I havent ..I will try it tomorrow thanks. I used first dose of general cure today I hope it works

I will try ..he is really small and the white string isnot easy to see

I just bought a little ram about 4 days ago. He seemed to be fine,he ate first day. The last day or 2 he has been really lethargic and won't eat. Today I noticed a white string hanging from his anus. I'm assuming a parasite so I tried medicated food but he won't eat. I picked up some api general...

I did not even notice he asked about pictus. There are 2 species, one can get 6-8 inches and the other much bigger I'm not sure of the species difference but I know they are very very active fish and need at least 75g or more. I wanted them for my 55 but decided to wait till I upgraded.

Well I use inches lol and in my experience they get about 8 inches and a bristlenose can get from 6-8 inches. The pleco will be a bigger waste producer. The Raphael length is not an issue, they can get wide and fat. The size of the fish will not matter against a mean convict, it's if they can...

Bristlenose are pleco ..I have a rapheal catfish in with my cichlids..they have a armor like shell and have defensive fins. My parrot messed with him once and never tried again

If you are asking can you add 40 fish at once I would say it's a bad idea. That would more than likely throw the tank into a cycle and cause spikes in ammonia and nitrite

Ok thanks for the info

I'm curious what the differences are between the 2 at this age. I've been looking up pictures and I can't tell the difference.

Thanks I was thinking that. Another website had said maybe altifrons but I wasn't sure

I posted a pic of a juvenile geo befoe but was too young to id. I went to the lfs I bought it from where they had an older one in their display tank. They tell me it's a surinamesis but I am told it is probaby not. Here is a pic of the one at the lfs
