Well I thought you were serious about trying to combine, so I was giving some advice. As for Grammodes not being good tank mates. Not true, they can work at times. I have a 10 incher in a community tank. But back to the OP, Dude do what you want. If you have a question, ask it. If you have some cool pics or vids, share them. But your incoherent babble is getting old. Not to mention, who cares about your Mustang. This is a fish forum, not brag or try to make yourself look cool. So, if you are truly gone, enjoy. :)

I do believe tank cleanings make aggressive fish more aggressive (but this is only temporary)...my africans get all fired up when I clean their tank and remain fired up for about a half an hour after the tank cleaning. Then after that they all are friends again and swimming with each other, until the next tank cleaning lol

& theres no need to brag about your stang and what not. There will always be a few @$$holes on this website, keep doing what you want...you don't need to change or let it get to you...can't please everyone man :)

My CA/SA's do this too. It's the fresh water that gets em all frisky. Entertaining to watch while it goes on.

Ya, same goes for my CA/SA tank also. I think what happens is they get scared and don't really know whats going on and so they take out their aggression on others...at least thats what I think

There are so many thousands of different threads, and thats what this forum is for, Post what ever you want about fish...and even non-fish topics. Just because no one can or cannot learn anything from anyone's post, shouldnt even matter at all.

I see these posts like shopping, if you dont like it move on...if you sampled something bitter, who told you to try it out?

I think it's the fresh water. Think of how often a water change sparks fish to spawn? They probably get frisky in the wild during the spring rains too.

thats quite a combo for only a 75, grammodes can be really mean ask me how i know :D but several people told me they can work in a community, i guess its hit or miss but i wouldn't try it in anything smaller than a 200.

This is the exact reason why the fish get that way after a water change. I do cold water changes, and this happens every time. It does not make fish more aggressive, just more in the mood.
