No there fine, there's no pedatory fish in there, only plant eaters.rmorse;1526887; said:
If i put plants in there they would either be uprooted or eaten by the SD and pearsei. Plus i wanted a biotope kinda look hense the subdued lighting.Cdog;1526903; said:
Got them from maidenhead aquatics. yes mine to are slow growers, i think normal silver dollers are much faster. Just like to say thankyou all for your positive comments. I'll add more photos later on if anything happens or if i get new fish.bill88;1526958; said:
Fantastic as always Nutty.....my favourite's of yours must be your Pearsi(currently vey tempted to grow one out they have some babies in the current Trimar stocklist; just not sure how it would cope with my bruisers...) and the Nic amazing fish.....
Yeah i like the pearsei, gentle giants really. As you say i'm not sure how a young pearsei would cope in your tank, what with some of them monsters. Did you see the festae on trimar list going for £75? One of the guys over at oddball express snaped him up, he should be getting him friday. Can't wait for the photos. Deadline for Don Conkels order today if your interested.
god damn thats a lot of pictures. what kind of filteration system you use for the 300 gallon? the water look pretty pristine.
Yeah I saw the female Festae there are a few big cichlids/catfish on the current list guess someone sold their collection.....
I've not had a lot of luck with Festaes I lost my first female to w/spot then my second one develped the same just after I got her she pulled through though. Had her for over a year she was around 7" then she aquired a nasty gash on her side and just went downhill from there....no sign of infection she just would not eat. Then I got a nice 4" male from Trimar took no chances put him in my 60gal with the 'little' fish he was dead within a week no sign of disease or injury; one day just started to hover at the top a little too much so I moved him to my 10gal dead the next day.....sometimes this hobby can be a bastard !!!!
Can't afford any new fish atm off to the States in April to catch few Springsteen concerts.
