Ok so my JD just beat the hell out of my bichir, the bichir is now going to be blind in one eye most likely:irked: So the 55 has a JD but i think i might end up just getting rid of him. What could i put in there with him/without him? I was thinking maybe a GT to go in with him or a female JD but i dont really want babies all that much. Personally i was thinking something mean like a Pike cichlid to go in the 55 but i want something with alot of personality and can put on a bit of a show if i throw in a cricket when a guest is over. I no Oscar have tons of personality but they are also quite sulky when they dont get there own way, id like something with constent movement pretrolling his territory.

Thanks,
Spencer
 
hey spence i think a MALE GT would do nicely how big is your JD??? it will be best to get one around the same size or you could get a female but i heard you dont want the babys so i would just go with a nice male GT, let us know what you do..?
 
The JD is about 5-6 inchs and i dont think im gonna be able to find me a GT that size for the life of me, The more i look at those midas/RD's the more i like them. The JD is mean as hell from what ive seen so i dont ill be able to buy a GT thats a baby and hope for it to live not to mention they take a LONG time to grow that would be another problem. Ill keep you guys posted on what i end up stocking it with as well.

Ok so the more i look at it a nice male GT would be nice in there, now its just the problem of trying to find a semi-adult GT. I could always buy one and make a divider in the 55 and then finnally let him onto the other side i was hopeing on picking up a FM and a Convict and putting them in if at all possible. Would i be overstocked with a JD,GT,FM & Convict? If not then thats what im deffinatly going for.

A siphon makes quick work of eggs and fry.

I would feel quite bad for making that be there end, sucked up a tube to there death...why does that sound familiar with human childs.

Anyways about the stocking to much? I think im gonna give the 55 a 10 gallon sump or some type of sump which is in the shape of a tower...hm..maybe ill make the tower inside the 10 gallon or connect a few towers or something, Well id be adding atleast 10 gallons for bio load space not to mention it would be a W/D most likely so i think id be safe for bio but what do you guys think?
