help with amphilophus sagittae

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
It would be easier to view if you use the attach image function and upload it though MFK.

Either that or give us all your webmail login..
 
Congrats on the Sagittae. They are nice fish. I have 11 growout fry, hoping to get a breeding pair. How big are each of the fish? 30 gallons seems pretty small for one of those fish let alone two of them.
 
well the amph is supposed to get to be about 8 or 9 inches i think so im jus gonna see how things go
 
Nice fish buddy, if there is anything I can tell you it would be to keep researching the fish your interested in ie B.parrot etc but wait a bit longer before you overstock like I did. Otherwise it will be a big juggle to provide sufficient filtering & deal with the mixture of aggression/vivid personalities.

Your oscar will also outgrow the 30gal with-in months if not less!
 
yeah i know.... im probably going to upgrade to a 55 eventually. spent an ***laod of money on this one(im still a kid so money is short) and this is my first tank so im trying to have fun with it
 
right now the oscar is scarin the **** outta the sag, keeps chasin it and ****. hopefully when the sag gets bigger ill move the oscar and maybe add a red devil if it wont murder the sag.

Ok I know it's ur first tank and all but a oscar needs at least a 60 by itself they get huge a red devil get huge and are very agro the both of them to hopefully not slay the oscar would have to be probly double I don't know much about sags at all but the three would prob need well much larger I would take them back and start small with a couple of Africans like two perm home like two labs or two none avressive varietys they would be a good starter cichlids or if u want to house more try out kribensis cichlids or shell dwelling cichlids with them u could even mix the two and keep 2or3 kribs with 5ish shell dwellers things would go alot better for u I promise we all stated somewhere me when I was around 9 with moms help tetras,barbs etc
