:headbang2
So I was finally able to get good pics of my fish and better pics of my tank let me know what you think. I am going to change the rock in the tank to look more like caves but I have to wait on some vine plants to get in later this week to do it all.
In the 125 gal tank right now I have:
2 Oscars (8 inches) Breading Pair (I hope)
2 Peacocks (2-3 inches) Breading Pair
1 Ahli Peacock (2 inches)
2 Convicts (2-3 inches) Breading pair
1 Crytocara Moorii (2 inches)
1 Jack Dempsey (2.5 inches)
1 Elongatus (3 inches)
What else do you guys think I should put in here??? :feedback:
The pics are in my personal galery. Please take a second to look at them and let me know what you guys think.
Thanks,
Bryan

How come you don't have the GT listed in your tank list? And which one is the elongatus?

I have a pleco and a syndodonis in there just didn't mention them sorry
I do not have a green terror in the tank. That is the Jack Dempsey. The pics were a little cloudy because I had to do a treatment to the water because my fish were a little sick :cry:
But they are better now :headbang2

I have to second the motion on the cloudy water`thing, but I am glad to hear that your fish are doing better. I've never seen TWO oscars get along so well; five or more, sure, but never two. Then again, these were still pictures. :)

When my 2 oscars got to be 11" and 11.5" the bigger oscar killed the other one :headbang2
It looked like a train wreck. It just shredded all the fins and scales

the thing about these two is that they are inseperable, very rarely do I ever see them apart in the tank, I hope they don't kill eachother that would be bad

What's your ph reading? I thought africans needed a ph of at least 8.2. The oscars and green terror need a ph of 7.0.You have both in your tank.Types of fish that is.

actually, the tank is a very neutral 7.5ish the oscars and the GTs as well as the africans have not had any problems what so ever with the levels that the tank is at... that is a common misconception with what different types of fish can handle. If you get your fish from a LFS chances are that they store all their cichlids in the same type of water conditions... all around 78 degrees, no nitrites, fairly neutral water softness/hardness, and the pH is around 7.5 that is really all these types of fish need.
