Intro and new fake saltwater tank and soon to be Oscar tank

[PassengerTN]

And yes my first few Africans did start in a 10g actually haha. With 3 feeder goldfish and a red ear slider.

Oh dear *facepalm*

I saw a 4 year old convict the other day with no hump... Hmm..

I started with Africans and an Oscar. A few months down the line I had just an Oscar. Rough lesson on compatibility.

I swear I commented on this. All cichlids are cool to me, regardless of their origins. Wife has been really into blood parrots recently, and has bought two. For reasons unknown, I've been REALLY diggin' Flowerhorns too, but am holding off on any more purchases until we get moved.

I agree, most all of them are highly fascinating. The FH are awesome.

I'm wanting to do a tank with firemouths. I know they are pretty common but I've wanted them forever. Perhaps my convict would feel more at home with them. Any more exotic species that would work with a firemouth convict combo?

My 60 gal is looking great. Getting some aggression in my 29 with the two mbuna. They're both under 3 inches but seem to think a 30 inch tank isn't enough. I know it isn't ideal but I dont have a stand for my 40. Still debating which way to go with this.

What size tank? I'd like to get rid of my male Convict. He's a good looking specimen IMO, but keeps my little Green Terror stressed more than I would like.

Thanks a ton but I already have a female convict. I'm not playing that game of watch what the breeding convicts kill.

 

[PassengerTN]

Haha I wouldn't offer him to you, much easier to trade him in for 25¢ or so at the LFS.

I heard that. I just don't want to see the death match.

I'm moving in August so I figured I would wait till after that to restock.

Thanks mike and glad to see you still here. I'm stoked to see what you come up with.

You have some where nearby that sells good looking firemouths? All the ones in my area seem very washed out

No I do not. I will have to order them to do it but I find them awesome. I'd like to do a firemouth + female convict + some other more exotic species.
I haven't thoroughly researched this.

 

[PassengerTN]

If you're gonna order them, I'd look into Thorichthys maculipinnis. They're like a firemouth with some bling, haha

Jesse

 

[TMRC Exotics]

Will look them up

 

[mikem691]

Here is an old thread I had going on Thorichthys. There are some nice pictures on page 3.
