would a 220gal work? i guess only one way to find out :-)

i would like to one day get one tank for my Midevil and Flowerhorn... the midevil is a 12" and is very very aggressive... the flowerhorn is maybe 9" and he not as aggressive but he always had tank mates through out his life... the Midevil has always lived alone i tried to put tank mates with...

ok thanks allot...

hello, i inherited these plants... had for the last couple years they been doing good... just curries of what type they are and if there is any recomendations on there care? thanks...Mike

i don't know if this is any better of a picture... if not i will take better one this evening... thanks allot...mike

thank you for the response... its a Video... here is the pic of the two...

so iv had these two together for over a year with no problems... i moved some plants around due to them getting to big an growing out of the tank...and that is when they started into each other... always thought the blue one was female and the other i thought was male do to the spots on...

i had a Jack Dempsey with a Tiger Oscar... they seamed to got along fine up until a re-home both of them... they were were both probably pushing 5" before they left the tank cause of there size..

thank all for the info... yeah didn't pay much... payed around 10 bucks at local petsmart...

this Cichlid was sold to me as a Red Texas.. but from what i read they can get up to 10 to 12 inches... but this guy seams to be lucky if he is pushing 9 inches... he is year and half to two years old... so can anyone ID him as something else or is he just a small Red texas...?

i did find some of that seachem excel... looks like its for plant growth.... so i guess the theory is the iron in it might kill the eggs/bugs? like copper does to snails...

no nitrite snails in tank... i do have some cider at home i can try... but they do not seem to be flying outside of tank... im going to see i can get better camera an get close up shot of them...

yeah i have mystery snails before an there egg's are big clump an they like to lay there eggs above the water an on the lid sometimes... these eggs some are below an some above water line ...

what is excel?

can anyone identify and how do i get rid of these flies, gnats or what ever they are? is there a type of fish that would eat these things up? i cleaned everything an smashed a allot of eggs but still come back with vengeance... don't have picture of the flies them self there to small but...

ah ok thanks again for the good info .....

yeah that make since... only reason i was thinking of this project cause i got the brand new canister for like 15 bucks at a auction... an was thinking of ways to reduce my load on the electrical system... beside shutting other tanks down...

so you would recommend multiple filters vs one filter per tank to get your GPH?

the reason i thought of is cause the two i have... i have there tanks next to each other... so the they see each other .... but then the devil started acting funny and moving an piling up rock etc...the red texas is smaller and started to act more aggressive so i thought maybe i got male an...

is it possible these two types of fish could pair up? also beside nocturnal hump an sexing these two is there other characteristic to look for when determining male o female...? thks...mike

thanks allot for info Nigel and Mike... i appreciate it an i think i will use the canister on the 40 i have...

what would the recommended GPH be for each 55..? i have midevil in one an a red texas in the other... thks...mike

i have two 55 gallon tanks and a marineland canister filter rated for 150+ gph... so my question is I'm wanting to run that filter through both tanks...? but sense there will be difference in flow... i thought i could put a ball valve inline an regulate the the flow trying to equalize the...

thanks all... thats what throwing me is his nuchal hump... i don't consider it to be big but i don't know... plus i read somewhere that the red devil has fatter lips which to me he does... he is two plus years old so when he was a 1+" or so he had black in him so i again... know he close to...
