TigerAngel Fish Addict Posts: 522 Registered: 22-Feb-2004	Well its name is a story. I got a Gold Gourami and I named her Goldie. (Gold for her colour, and also after my hubbys favourite actress Goldie Hawn) Well I then got the GCAE. My hubby named it H.O.R.N.Y. (Hawnie) again after his favourite actress. Over here in Oz this world means, nice, beautiful etc. But this forum won't let us use the right spelling. So now we are calling it Hawnie.

TigerAngel Fish Addict Posts: 522 Registered: 22-Feb-2004	For a bottom feeder, you could have a gold c/a/e. This fella wouldn't take any s... or a bristlenose, but get a large one [/font][/font][/font] [span class="edited"][Edited by TigerAngel 2004-07-28 21:57][/span]

sirbooks Moderator Sociopath Posts: 3875 Kudos: 5164 Votes: 932 Registered: 26-Jul-2004	The zebra pleco looks very nice with all of its stripes, and only grows two and a half inches. However, it will not do well at all in a tank with aggressive fish. I would leave it out. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

tetraman1225 Banned Posts: 155 Kudos: 51 Votes: 0 Registered: 03-May-2003	DO you know any that would look a littl more ornate. SUch as one striped, spotted, ect.

sirbooks Moderator Sociopath Posts: 3875 Kudos: 5164 Votes: 932 Registered: 26-Jul-2004	I think a bulldog pleco would be good if you have a sand or fine gravel substrate, and they don't even eat plants! And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

tetraman1225 Banned Posts: 155 Kudos: 51 Votes: 0 Registered: 03-May-2003	I want one firemouth one jack dempsy ( blue preferably ), One or two convicts and a red tailed black shark. for the clean up crew i will have a electric blue craw. If i can add more then tell me what i should add. ANd i do know the rtbs is a cyprind but i have seen this done so he should be ok. OH and this is a 55. And would a tank with two of each fm and jd be ok. With the craw. Because that is what i really want. [span class="edited"][Edited by 2004-07-28 20:53][/span]

sirbooks Moderator Sociopath Posts: 3875 Kudos: 5164 Votes: 932 Registered: 26-Jul-2004	Maybe a pleco. They would be able to take any poundings from the cichlids. Just make sure you don't get one that would outgrow the tank. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

tetraman1225 Banned Posts: 155 Kudos: 51 Votes: 0 Registered: 03-May-2003	Yeah i know what you mean i have one in my 29 and he eats my tetras some times. SO what do you think i should have for a bottom feeder. What size do you think i should start out with for these fish? ON a side note i am so excited.

sirbooks Moderator Sociopath Posts: 3875 Kudos: 5164 Votes: 932 Registered: 26-Jul-2004	That tank setup should work. What size jd would you start out with, though? If it is big enough, it might pick on a smaller blue acara. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

nattereri Mega Fish Posts: 1075 Kudos: 1157 Votes: 39 Registered: 16-Aug-2003	That is really really really overstocked. one firemouth one jack dempsy ( blue preferably ), One or two convicts and a red tailed black shark. ... a eletric blue craw If you got the Crayfish, I wouldn't risk anything else in that tank, Craws will try and grab anyfish that swim by it, and sleeping fish are an easy target for them... you could fit: two Convicts and one Firemouth/RTBS OR one Convict and one Jack Dempsey OR one Firemouth and one Jack Dempsey/RTBS. OR one JD and one RTBS

tetraman1225 Banned Posts: 155 Kudos: 51 Votes: 0 Registered: 03-May-2003	So one fm one jd and what about one blue acara? ALL with the craw from now on.
Posted 26-Jan-2006 11:25
sirbooks Moderator Sociopath Posts: 3875 Kudos: 5164 Votes: 932 Registered: 26-Jul-2004	It might work if you leave out the convicts. No breeding pairs means less fighting in the tank, too. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
Posted 26-Jan-2006 11:25
tetraman1225 Banned Posts: 155 Kudos: 51 Votes: 0 Registered: 03-May-2003	SO what about the first tank design?
