Well,thismorning was the end i guess. Only thing is, not only did my tire track eel dye,but everything in the tank did :cry: Only thing left alive is the 2 plecs.After testing the water, am.0 trite 0 trate <20 im left to guess that the red worms i bought was tanted or something. Only thing i added to the tank other then fishfood was the red worms from the bate shop. Then 2 days letter i wake up and all 3 of my fish are dead and Can't find 1 so im left with the plecos witch would be the only ones that would have not ate the worms.
So,i guess today i will give it a good good cleaning,and leave it alone for a while and look for a cool monster to go in it.
Its a 125, let the ideas for a monster come....:popcorn: :)
 
Ouch sorry for you loss bro, you should get a nice pair of severums or red devils to breed :) or even just a mixed monster community with eels, cichlids and maybe even an arow if your will to upgrade later :)
 
well, this is still very puzzling to me as for as to what happen. The tank has been up and runing for a few years now with a large oscar and a few tinfoils. I got rid of them and ended up getting a baby oscar and a tire track, (i just found the other pictus). The only thing i can cum up with is the red worms. Even if something got in to the water, i would think it would have killed the plecs too. They would have been the only ones that would have not ate the worms. dang this is un-nerving. Oh well,
The arow sounds cool,but can only up grade to a 180 mabey .
The pairs sound cool, right now im likeing breeding mollies. Gets exciting every time there is new babys in the nets :) Was thinking of tryng oscars..
How about a Clown Knife? How long would it take to out grow a 125 6' long 18" wide? It would be like 3".
just dont know, i guess this time ill wait a little while to get just the right fish. Might even try to order something differnt. Never did that before,mail order fish.
Thanks for the responce
 
ok thinking mabey a pair of red snooks. There is a bunch at petsmart but how am i to know whats male or female?

When I lost everything in my 80 gallon-long and started re-cycling the tank, I took some baby mollies and ONE male and female guppy. Now it's funny to see this 6' long tank loaded with all of these small fish. I never got the chance to restock the tank, but when I do, that purchased fish is going to think it died and went to heaven.
 
quite a few options available...
-monster community tank
-BGK
-P.Bass
-cichlid tank
-goldfish ;)
-stingray
-etc
-etc
could go on for days ;)
but in the end, its what sounds nice, and looks good to you when you walk into the store
sorry about your loss and gl in the future!
 
not sure, they eat pellets and won't eat veggies. BUT,i pulled out a few worms thismorning. Anyway,i went and scored 2 white tiger oscars . There swiming around checking there new home out right now. Ill get oics as soon as i can
