starting over in the 240...Rapps order help!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
i have a very random assortment which is working pretty good with a jd, 2 firemouths, 2 sevs, and a jag. like i said very random but pretty cool. u may want something more rare though since ur ordering. also, mine seems fine but depending on the fish u could have aggression problems with this setup.
 
I just ordered from him a few weeks ago and got a sieboldi. They are really stunning even at a small size; they have really nice coloring on their fins and appear a bluish green color when the light strikes them just right.
 
big bad and veija
 
umbie pair would be cool. When I place that order from Rapps, after I get the tank, its going to be one of every midas type complex he has. so like 10-15 beasts swimming around
 
All great ideas. Thanks everyone. Can I start umbee while young with others in a 240 and separate as they grow?

definitely, although some can be killers even from a young age and even in a mixed species tank they always still seem to hate each other. maybe a solo male would be good in the long run

IME when growing out umbees with other CA/SA's they aren't really that high on the heirachy list. mine used to never have torn fins/nips out of him but also never started any fights.

for a stocklist i'd suggest - umbee, jag, JD, texas, salvini, cuban, GT and lots of clown loaches to clean up all the scraps :)
 
Geophagus Altifrons/ Geophagus Red Heads Is my pic they are great!!
