Oregon, it's part of 'Murica!
Yet another Chrisplosion thread...Any I have posted this in 2 other spots. The people in the General Aquatic Discussion were no help and the people in the SA/CA Cichlids were too busy worrying about the flowerhorn. Any way how overstocked would I be or would I be at my limit?

Its a 60l x 19w x 29h flat-back hex, building the stand this weekend and will hopefully have it setup within 2 weeks.

1 Tiger Oscar
2 Blood Parrots
1 Bonsai Flowerhorn
2 Salvini
1 Vieja Synspilum
 
As adult fish then , yes, way overstocked. For juvies, then it all depends how big, and aggressive, they have become so far.

So a difficult question to answer categorically.
 
Isnt that "supposably" 130gal cracked?

I would do without the Syn and Salvinis. Sooner or later the salvinis will get pick on and the Syn will be the picker-oner.
Building communities around FH never ends well.
 
Yes it is the cracked tank. I'm building it around it, its merely an addition and a small one at that. Right now he is with all the fish I mentioned minus 1 blood parrot and the oscar. Aside from the Vieja which is really small, hes last on the pecking order. He hasn't grown much or at all since I picked him up almost a month ago and he probably won't get very big.

Fare bottom left is the one I am talking about.

that's not a vieja... that's looks like a tailless SB flowerhorn to me... :-)
i agree
 
Edit: Reread my post and I was talking about the bonsai flowerhorn and accidentally said Vieja.


I also agree its not a vieja. I never said it was my vieja, that was the bonsai flowerhorn that I was gonna put in 130. And he does have a tail:
