Thank you so much Greg.
Hi Eric. Hope you are well. No stray cats. LOL. I feed him Hikari and Dainichi. No sump. I have the 2 Penguins on it and do 80% water changes every week.Geez, what are you feeding that thing, stray cats? lol Do you guys have a sump also or are the two Emperor 400s enough to maintain?
Hi Dawn
wow, i have a Penguin 350, an EMP400 and a 70g canister on my 125g and it still doesn't seem to be enough
lol maybe i just have too many fish haha
How many fish do you have in it?wow, i have a Penguin 350, an EMP400 and a 70g canister on my 125g and it still doesn't seem to be enough

You have beautiful fish. My favorite is the Catfish. I have 2 Pictus in my 55.
Thank you....yea, catfish are awesome, i love them because they are such a diverse group of fish and come in so many shapes and sizes. Truly evolved in every way and adapted to survival in almost any body of water, fresh, brackish and salt.....plus they make great tankmates for almost any fish, especially cichlids that don't tolerate most other fish. I'll always have love for Oscars, but i just can't do it now, i have way too many aggressive fish that would not be good tankmates for an Oscar. i tried it before, but i learned my lesson and i don't want to see one of my favorite fish die miserably.
I lost Oscars to fish you would never expect - Convicts, Blue Acaras, Firemouths.....I got them all as little 2" babies and the Oscar still got killed along w/ a Salvini, which everyone told me they were supposed to be killer-fish.
Idk, i just have bad luck w/ Oscars these days. Had one as kid grew 12" or so, then after a few years i found him on the kitchen floor. I was salty.
