Thanks for the inputs guys. I don't have a severe algae problem and I am going to venture that the main cause is that my wife overfeeds them because she thinks that begging equates to starving. I will try your suggestions after some reasearch on them of my own and let you know how things go!

true dat

So typically I buy a bunch of mystery snails that are decent size and let them clean up the little bits of algae that happen. The problem is that these snails tend to over a period of a few weeks to a few months get snacked on by the cichlids in my tank. So here is the question: What is...

I say female from the drab gold color of the scales. They are interesting fish those females are, just not as colorful.

I'm saying acara. From the face to the coloring it doesn't look GT to me.

I think the pics are misleading. When you look at the scales are they a light blue (like the first pic) or are they dull gold (like the other two)? If light blue then I say male if dull gold then I say female. GTs can be tricky but I seem to be most accurate when I judge by looking at the scale...

This looks male to me.

Honestly, just use hikari gold and once in a while maybe a frozen cube.

This is true. I would add white saum as well because you just don't see them a whole lot.

Vibrant was the first thing that came to my mind too. This is a nice looking fish.

Cichlids (especially Oscars) like to chomp for a while. I'm guessing you thought it was choking. Also, don't over feed your Oscar. They are extremely messy fish and half the pellets will fall out of their gills (good thing we have plecos). Its really easy to want to overfeed, especially when you...

Or switch to smaller pellets.

How can you be so sure? Especially from these pics.

Contrary to what some say, I believe a 70 gallon is the minimum for an Oscar. Also, dither fish are not meant to be chased. If they are being chased then they would be considered food, not dithers. The purpose of dithers is to calm your fish because in the wild schooling fish are a queue to...

Yea I wouldn't worry about it if it is just a pellet.

I'm going against the grain here and say male. The picture shows the coloring to be bluish on the side which to me (aside form venting) says male while females tend to have more dull gold kind of coloring. I know yours has a lot of facial stripes which could indicate female but the light blue...

I would just have the GT. It won't be a centerpiece anymore if oyu add the oscar.

My guess is male as there isn't much blue at all on the jaw.

May I suggest you put the business name in the title of the pages?

My vote is male JD and female GT
