Getting too busy...one fish in my 210 maybe??

[cichlidhopper]

A nice pair of Rapps Featae would look great in a 210..

put on a couple eheims itll help out.
or a couple fx5's or something.

Filtration is not the problem, I have plenty of that. 2,000 gallons per hour in a 210 is plenty.

I am starting to like the idea of a breeding pair in a 210. The other questions I have is how significantly the growth rate will slow to dovii if they are a breeding pair?

I would do a single Haitiensis (Black Nasty), or a pair of Cubans or motaguense.

In my experience, they slow down quite a bit. However, they still grow a lot every month. Maybe 1/4-1/2" a month as opposed to 1"+ a month.

I personally would keep one of the Oscars, your favorite one, the jag, the carpinte, and a pleco. That would significantly lower your bioload.

Do a pair or oscars, or a pair of doviis. everything else is ugly (except the red tiger mota, and the festea)

Jags ugly??

^^^
Not just your Jag, ALL your fish are ugly.....except rtm and festae.



Just kidding you guys...sorry I'm such a SmartA-- sometimes.

Here's what I would do:

2 Oscars (12 and 14 inches) Sell them if you can find a taker. They're huge waste producers.
1 JD (11 inches) Sell him
1 Juvy Midas (4 inches) Sell it.
1 Carpinte (7 inches) Keep
1 Jag (8 inches) Keep
1 con (5 inches) Sell
1 Juvy Argentae (3 inches) Keep
1 Juvy Festae (4 inches) Keep
1 Juvy Red Tiger Mota (4 inches) Sell
2 Frontosas (4 and 5 inches) Sell them
1 Raphael Strip Cat (6 inches) Sell it cuz you never see him.
1 High Fin Pleco (3 inches) Sell, aren't all pleco raw sewage machines?

That leaves you with a Jag, Carpinte, Festae and an Argentea.

Keep the temperature down about 77-78F and don't overfeed.

There nothing wrong with that idea either.

I'm thinking it might be time to make a thread in the for sale section on some of my fish.

Problem solved thanks to my good friend Spizz! I am getting back the male dovii I traded him (now 7+ inches) and placing him solo in my 210. Spizz has some tank space and is holding my other fish for me until I get some more tank space and time. I get the best of both worlds and don't have to ditch my fish.

JD,Festae & Red Tiger!
