So apparently my convict finally picked a cave after weeks of being open season. This morning i awoke to find him remodeling his new digs by way of mouthfuls of sand, and ferociously squaring off with any approaching fish (even those much larger than he). Weirdest thing though, basically...

How much can a 2-6" cichlid/Oscar eat in terms of superworms, pellets (lg cichlid gold floating type), and various frozen cubes (beef heart, brine shrimp, plankton)? I don't wasn't to over feed but i fear nothing is making it to my big jack (7")

I'm sorry if I offended you, I did not mean anything by that. For what it's worth, I only meant to type super once. Good advice IS very hard to find. I am new at this, and I first came to the internet for advice through Google. There are some ridiculous things on there, and I feel terrible for...

I certainly appreciate your help. I've learned a lot, and am mostly just sad that they sell these larger fish to clueless aquarists with no desire for more than a 10g.

I am going to up the tank to prob a 55 gallon by next summer (or sooner craigslist willing) but I want to go ahead and get him up to about 6 or 7" in the twenty before I drop a two inch fish into such a huge tank. bad idea? I guess growth rate is what I'm curious about. I really wanted an ID...

I'm looking to get a larger fish to live in my 20g with a rainbow shark (4"). There is an albino sucker in there with him now, but he will be moved. I am thinking an EBJD or possibly a fire mouth. I want something that will get big with a large personality too. I can upgrade tank size down the...
