90 Gallon Aquarium. 4 inch JD and 5 inch Oscar.

Result: At first ok, but lately the JD has beaten on the Oscar to the point where I am going to have to get another aquarium as soon as my exams are over.

This is going to be an interesting thread, Im looking forward to reading everyones experiences :popcorn:

5" senegal poly w/ 4" leo poma = VERY good, especially when feeding. the poma takes the f bloodworms and rips the block up and individual wormsfall for the poly.
VERY NICE! recommend.


2 male bettas in 1 qt. bowl = BAD!!!! :D

I think a large mouth and a peacock would work out fine together I wouldn't keep the water to warm though... Maybe around 75f* and maybe start the large mouth out slightly larger then the peacock but not more then an inch or so.
Thanks for the tip. Sounds like I'll have the best of both worlds if it can be done.

where my cichla are
the reason we have 3 large aquariums when we started out with just one because of fish that grew up together suddenly not getting along together..

our compatable pair of oscars (Rocky and Toni) teamed up and attempted to shred our 6" (at the time) arowana (Pinky).

right now, and as they grow things may change.. so i guess this is still a work in progress..

My big peacock bass has 2 buddies that he holds dear.. Gabriel my biggest angelfish and Pinky, the arowana.

The snooks pretty much hang out together.. and drive away everybody else in the tank from "their spot". They don't hurt anyone, but they don't necessarily get along with anyone either.

Angelfish and baby peacock bass seem very compatable.. and like i said before my big peacock bass is still best buddies with my biggest angelfish, but since they are in different tanks now they just visit through the glass.

the RTC, Lucy, doesn't seem to bother any of the fish, but i hear this isn't true of most RTC's.. Right now she's in the 100 gal with the oscars and the 12" common pleco. the pleco and Lucy have been having territory wars though, but no one is getting hurt and the pleco seems to have decided it's in his best interest to find a different spot.
