Thailboxer , I have no oscars . When I was younger I had two oscars . Oscars is what I was going to do until I find my terror . I know you need a big tank for two oscars . As for putting in two terrors I think it would depend on how young they where when you started and the fish's personalty ...

aim some house and trailers can't take a lot of weight on them if you put it the wrong way with the joist you will no support under the tank as for 12-13 LBS where did you get that number are you an engineer .

Well let me see . Now , is the anwser ,But not so much Nitrite at first .Ammonia will be the first to peak . It important to also know what to do if the levels go to high. Nitrite will be next to peak . You need to know when this all happens to know where your tank is in the cycle procress. I...

Buy it and put a piece of plywood across it for the 29 gal for now .

targa does big Al have a web site and if so can i have it please .thanks.

I'd vote green terror . I have one and it's never a dull moment with him. :twisted:

If you are in to things getting eatten and that kind of stuff I think cichlid is a better .More fun to watch and not quite as messy.

I'd go with the cats or the Plecko. Red tail shark can work .In fact, the 29 gal I gave to a friend has ; 1 Angel 2 silver dollars 1 red tail shark They are getting a bit big for that tank,But they get along for the most part .

Well it depends in three things i think .Money How much do you have to spend ? Barring some really good buy like a yard sale or in the paper or a really good sale somewhere fish tanks are not that cheap to me. Of course I'm not rich either.Next space,what can you fit in your house .DO NOT forget...

I feed my cichlids flakes and try to feed them a little bit at a time . Just enough that they can eat them all before it hits the bottom of the tank. I find there is less mess this way . About 3 or 4 small feeding and twice a day and blood worms on tues and thurs. thats how I've been doing it ...

just added a wild red jewel cichlid to the 55 gal did not think she would work ,but she is doing very well and I'm pleased to have that color contrast . I mean the terror and jack are great but the jewel brings in the color i think the tank needed . 2 oscars and 2 terror in a 125 it could work...

I've also used dr wellfish works good . As for thr instant ocean I'd steer clear it has minerals added for salt water tanks and is not the same. You could if you want ,but I wouldn't .

have the fish been flashing at all . My firemouth just died and it was kinda the same way . I seen the fish flashing one day turned out to be a parasite . everythings good now and sorry to hear about your loss.

I think it depends on the staff and the up keep of the tanks . We have 2 wal-marts in my area the one is fine they do a great job and know about fish and have anwsers. The other I would buy nothing in livestock, they have no staff with even a clue on fish and the tanks are poorly kept . All I'm...

I vote sponge also , bred guppies and thats what I used with no gravel in the tank for easy cleaning. :mrgreen:
