New fish on the cards !!!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
"what"!!!!!!!!! Maybe i misunderstood but it sounds like to me that you are getting rid of all the fish you have in the 180 now and doing a cichlid tank that will never ever-ever-ever-ever work especially in that small of a tank. Now if you are buying a new tank for this set-up then i sincerely apologize but if no then thats just pure bad fishkeeping to make a commitment to your current tank and then just get rid of all of them. Just my opinion.....
 
Go for it...odder fish combos have worked.

Good Luck!

Jack you obviously didn't read my opening post very well because it said and i quote !!

I'll be buying them as 3 to 4 inch juviniles and growing them out and as they get bigger and out grow my tank i'm going to sell them on accordingly. Nice choice of fishes isn't it !

there is a reason i'll be doing this and thats because i know that some of the species i had listed can grow to quite a size and i would like to get rid of the one which won't get along with each other this leaving me with the fish which will get along !

Maybe i should have mentioned this in my opening thread and saved all this confusion ! but i thought by me mentioning ("I'll be growing them out and as they get bigger and out grow my tank i'm going to sell them on accordingly. Nice choice of fishes isn't it !") people would know and understand what i ment.

well dan you are just a perfect example of bad fish keeping. People here are always talking about ignorant people buying fish that get huge for there small tanks which in your case (AROWANA, RTC, TSN etc.).... But i guarantee you what you have in your plan will not work and i think you know that but hey next year you'll just get rid of them too like the others.....
I do not see the need for you to get personal so please stop. Read his original post, he does not plan on keeping the Cichlids, the idea is to grow them out and whoever does not get along gets sold. When you sell something you get rid of it! That is the whole plan.
 
By planning ahead and having a market for your fish you can get to keep fish that you know would get to large for you to otherwise keep. I have known people who do this with lima cats, giant gouramis, and aros. I have done it myself with balas and redhooks.

Yeah i buy them small and young so that one day when they get larger i can sell them on for more money so i can afford the fish i always wanted ! it's not a bad thing as all my fish get highly looked after and when they get ill they get treated.

And on that note my aro's health is flying his eye's are clearing up nicly.
