Wingsdlc Fish Guru What is this? Posts: 2332 Kudos: 799 Registered: 18-Jan-2005	I have kind of been reading your other thread about Oscars but just for a refresher. You are putting a JD in a 55G by its self? Personaly I have never kept one. I would like to but I don't want to have a semi-big tank with a pretty large fish in it. They are very pretty fish and can be quite agressive at times. Some lady just brought in a 8" JD that was beating up her Catfish and Clown Knives. She was also feeding lots of live fish. I think that might help trigger some of the aggression. I wish you the best of luck. 55G Planted tank thread 19G Container Pond [IMG]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/Wingsdlc/Ric

I was told that this was an ok sized aquarium for one JD...I do have a pleco.. have had him approximately one year and he always hides and loves the driftwood I put in there about a month ago.... I never see the guy.. hehe

I have heard it just makes more pieces of elodea and soon you will have elodea coveing the top of your tank. 20 Gallon Long: Aquaclear 300 2 Bolivian Rams, Mikrogeophagus altispinosus: Gumby and Pokey
