1x Convict 1/2"
2x Bushymouth plecos

10g
P. Fallax with eggs.

All the red names are going into a 95g witch is in building. Im getting rid of the yellow names. Then i will have these in the 100g.

1x Oscar
1x Paroon Shark
2x Dovii females
1x Delhezi
3x Senegalus
1x Common Pleco
And will add...
2x Oscar
1x P.p. Polli

Pick out my 2 favorite Jags and Put them in the 100g.

When the fish get bigger i will pick my favorite fish and have a 364g tank ready and pick my favorite fish.

What do you think of that plan?
 
um?
way too many fish in the 100 right now
will still be way too many fish in the 100 after
3 oscars, a common pleco, 2 doviis, and 8 other fish.....
what?
didnt you listen to the advice people gave you in your other threads?

what kind of filtration do you have?
 
I have a Juwel filteration, its a juwel tank. Also i have a Rena Xp3.
 
Are you sure you have 316 posts because you are just asking to be flammed by someone. you should already know this site and what happens you post things like that.
Don't count on being able to get the 364 gallon tank things always turn out differently. The max number of large cichlids I would put in a 360 is 5 or 6 with a couple bottom dwellers that grow maybe 12 inch of course the larger the less bottom dwellers. Oh and I consider it mentally retarded to put 2x dovii with 2x managuense in a 100 gallon. That is just obsurd with all the Oscars as well and the list still goes on. Whats going on with the rest of those Jags and JD's.

All I have to say is you Horribly planned this and are quite deep in crap literally ( fish poo heaven)
 
You're overstocked in that 100 with just 1 of the Dovii Females, needless to say everything is overstocked, but it looks like the fish are going to take care of these problems for you (Either by killing themselves poor water quality, or killing eachother).
 
i've been concidering too get rid of those Dovii's. My midas is rolling over my O, so funny because it's nothin serious. Just warning him!

Cross127: I don't know what you are talking about my posts, you saying im posting to much?

I'm not offended or anything, just thought it was unnessacery to say im mentally retarded:irked:

My Dovii's seem to have rather kind personality and have been kept with O's since they were baby's.

My experience is that you have to know the fish before you post a comment and i am watching the females. Havent done anything yet:D


You can say whatever you want im not changing my mind unless i see they are uncomfortable;)

I just was saying I consider it mentally retarded to put 4 members of the same genus in the same tank ESPECIALLY with Parachromis. 2 dovii and 2 managuense is a very bad decision in a tank that small. Maybe it's just the way I am but I wouldn't consider putting more than two 12" aggro fish in a 100 gallon with dithers of course though. If it's geo's or sevs maybe I would be a little more leanant.

Go a head and do what you want I am sorry I came on a little rough as I read my post and seemed to be a little too hurtful which I apologize for but I still think you really need to do some adjusting to that stock because it's a little much don't you think?? even when you get rid of all those fish and move some out it's still going to hurt you in the end. Up your filtration even more though with a Eheim 2217 and you might be able to get away with just bio-load but BAIRLY. I get away on my 125 with my Pleco and my Managuense pair with a 2217, Magnum 350, EMP 400 and an AC110. Not too mention the BIGGEST problem is that RTC no way it will last in the 95 for more than 5 months. the thing will break the glass it will be soo big.
Limas need a 125 MINIMUM get 18"+ and I still can't believe that you say there is no problem.
 
i dont think cross was rude at all. you made a thread asking peoples opinions on 2 doviis in a 100, and another one asking about putting a fraction of the fish you have in the 100 together.
people told you neither would work out really, then you put all of them together in that 1 tank, plus some.
why would you think that many big fish in a 100 would work, especially with the completely mixed aggression levels?
if you need to have all those fish, you need to have more tanks.
id get some more filters right now and stuff them with mech/biomedia if i were you.
i think you know that theres a problem with those 20 fish in the 100.
its just dumb, you did a dumb thing.
you should separate them, get rid of a lot, or get more tanks, and more filtration.
 
DUDE
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY SNIKIES!
not gonna lie you have to get rid of a buttload of fish
first off get rid of the RTC as he will get to big for the so called going to have 364 gallon
i really have no idea what your going to do with all these fish
theres to many fish for the tanks you own right now
as my boy Cross says, your bioload is gonna crash on your 100 just for an example i have 7 severums and a few other cichlids in my 125 and prolly put up no where near the bio load your tank puts out ( thats what she said ("she puts out") on my 125 i have an fx5 fluval 404 and two ac 110's
i want to say this nicely keep only the fish you want to keep
and go from there it seems you like your midas so keep that and work from there
dovii's will outgrow and kill because there mean SOB's
i know you said you know your fish, but there are alot more people with general experience of fish when they get to full size or bigger than what you have them at now
also get rid of the paroon shark as they are annoying and get big and are ugly as heck

hope you choose to downsize, i know this hobby is cool , but you gotta learn responsibility to truly enojy the hobby , soon enough your gonna be way way way over your head

ALSO congrats to Ron (Cross127) for reaching the 2K mark!
 
you say you will change your mind when they are uncomfortable, this is what will happen when you realize they are uncomfortable the RTC will gobble down
1x Syno. Feather Fin 3"
1x Clown Loach 2"

1x Botia Stratia 2"
1x Royal Pleco 3"
1x Candy Striped Pleco 3"
1x Common Pleco 3"
1x gibbi 4"

the Lima shovelnose will slurp down your Poly's
and the Dovii's and Mannys will be turning your tank into a war zone

just a good premonition
im pretty sure you will wake up tommorow to find a few of the loaches gone
why would you put an RTC or a lima in with small fish anyways?
