just starve it. only offer pellets and eventually hunger will win out

still too small to tell ... might recommend gettin it off flakes tho, try gettin it onto the small floating/sinking pellets

definitely smaller tank required

look at setting up aquaponics maybe ... otherwise get yaself a sponsorship from eheim

Hey all Today my male FH and my female jag are digging a hole and looking very "chummy" ... just wondering if anyone else has had this combo breed in their tanks before??? I'm a little concerned for the Oscar and female Dovii that are in the tank with them too

mark me down for a "hell no"

nice looking umbee ... i lost mine when he was 4" and never found another one :-(

damn that's a kickass dovii

maybe you should run a book on how long it's gonna be before the dovii's kill the rest

Oscar all the way. much more interactive and more personable. My big oscar rules the tank, is normally very calm, but is absolutely hillarious when he's pissed off

don't get a pair of convicts unless you can get rid of their babies ... "How do you make convicts breed? put them in water" i had a group of convicts that had babies at the size of 1.5-2inches, don't get me wrong, they make a good feeder fish :-)

yeah it could go either way really, things could be fine, could turn nasty too. the important thing is to have separate territories for them to defend, so they don't fight over the same bit of turf. the real problem with aggressive fish is that the dominant ones generally get challenged, and the...

i'm struggling to understand why you won't buy the RO???? if you cannot replace the fish, then i'd be saying you gotta wear the costs of gettin the right water to keep it sane and healthy. Also making assumptions about water conditions is never a good idea really ... assumption is truly the...

i'd just go for the single dovii myself

perfect harmony ... especially if the red around the throat comes in a bit more ... i'm not real sure on current flowerhorn specifics

bigger tank, more hidey holes, separate them ... devils are as their name suggests, heaps of personality, but are just plain bastards ..... also try rearranging everything in the tank frequently so the devil can't get territory established

what is the flow rate vs size of the tank??? where is the suction and the pump output in relation to each other?

you're lucky ya FH lets anything in the tank ... mine killed pleco's inside of 2 days ... on the syphoning front, i put a long hose on the end of my vacuum and suck it straight out to the garden.l

yeah i was gonna say "very carefully" ... sliding it on a piece of cardboard or something similar may be useful too ... all depends on the actual size of it really ... skateboards have been utilized before too

yeah, it's a convict ... i had 6 or 7 in a 20g when they were about 1.5" ... a pair formed and they bred when they were all under 2"!!!!! it really is true what they say, the way to make them breed is put them in water i ended up puttin them all in my big tank, one lasted for a few weeks
