    What to do with JD babies?

    Long story short, I unexpectedly have a breeding pair of JDs. They are on their first batch. I could just wait until they have they next batch and they will eat the older babies, but I would rather not have that happen. Also I cat separate them; I have only one tank and couldn't bare to think of...

    Pregnant Jack Dempsey?

    Mine ate a lot, her tummy got big, and she and the male started chasing off the other fish and claimed half of the tank for themselves. After she laid the eggs, her stomach looks normal and she has become her normal, shy self. This is experience talking. Ive got a few hundred eggs on a rock in...

    Pregnant Jack Dempsey?

    Right before my JD laid her eggs, she ate a ton of food. And I mean a TON. She started acting less shy, and began to mark off a section of the tank as JD territory where she later laid her eggs. Her tummy area was swollen pretty noticeably for a week or two before she finally laid them. Do you...

    Breeding Jack Dempsey's

    Thought that I ought to throw in my experience for anyone wanting to breed them. I got my pair a few months apart from the same store. I didn't realize that they would breed, didn't even realize that they were different sexes. I put them in a 55 gal (48 long not sure of the other dimensions)...

    Intex pool filter as mechanical filration.

    I was thinking of doing that. But the foam is like $10 for 2 pads. Not too bad, but I wanted to try cheaper options first. I will probably be getting the foam. Thanks

    Intex pool filter as mechanical filration.

    I cant take a picture but the water looks whitish and cloudy, almost milky. It gets better after a water change and then gets worse again. Looking through the side of the tank, you can only see about half way down. It doesnt seem to be affecting the fish at all. I try not to use chemicals at all...

    Thanks for the info both of you! I will be looking into the magnum hot. If I were to get a cf-500, Kaisersousay, what would be a good media?

    How would these so with mechanical filtering do you think? The batting is leaving the tank cloudy. http://www.amazon.com/Kitchen-Cleaning-Scour-Scouring-Pads/dp/B0018MOWH6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1306276510&sr=8-3

    Intex pool filter as mechanical filration.

    I dont have to room to store a sump. How do you think scouring pads like the ones on the link below would do with clearing up the water? The pillow batting is really doing nothing at all...
