Superfriends meet the Trimac aka "Lex"

[Davey_8313]

ok everyone i thank you all and believe me i see ecaxtly what you all are talking about i came home today and my blueberry oscar was destroyed i mean i believe my tank turned on him cause now my ebjd will come up from the bottom and feed so i think it was a joint effort from everyone he couldn't even move he was stuck to my filter intake every fin was like biting ur nails down so pisssed right now but hey you live and you learn so i'm gonna take a shot of hennesey for "Cookie monster" move on and watch carefully and figure out where my next tank is going

Sorry to hear that, it always sucks to lose a pet. As said below, a lot of people here have gone through that lesson, I know I have... good luck w/ whatever you do next though and may the lesson be learned,

yeah i did and what do you think was the reason why the ebjd comes to the top with the group now that my oscar "CM" is gone

I know you're still learning so I'll add this: those blueberry oscars are dyed. It isn't natural and most aquarists think this to be unethical to do to fish as well.

Just trying to brace you. Others will go beserk over people keeping painted glass fish, dyed fish, etc. (and with good reason).

 

[Eupterus]

I was thinking maybe the oscar died first because dyed fish are weaker and tend to be sickly.

Acestro, long time no see. How's those true Rivalatus doing? Are you still breeding them?


(sorry off topic)

Hey balton, most are doing well. The females that I kept divided became just one female, I'm not even sure how (there's no trace of her). So I'll have to try again with the remaining female and the now huge male.

I have those true trimacs I mentioned in the tank where I'll try to breed the True GTs again. I've got to juggle some tanks around to get the TGTs back to spawning (and hopefully not matricide!)

I thought this as well. And as much as people dig the electric blue jack dempseys... I find them genetically inferior and (as others have guessed), that fish is probably next to fall.

little trimac looks great, looks almost FH, and i must say i hate unreal aquadeco, and that blue sand and stuff i hate, but the stone oriental lion is totally of the hook... i love it... is it real stone or what?

You have some good fish on your hands.Be good young fellow.
