Goldfish in a 5x2x2?

Yep she loves them, FX5 and 405 And heavy airation.
Tell you what they look great!

Good luck with the build mate, do you have a design yet? There is plenty of inspiration on this site.

No, it is in the very beginning stages - i.e I've thought about making one!

I'd like to do one myself one day but my skills are lacking!

Luckily I have a friend who is a chippy so he'll be able to get all the bits and make it haha. I'll just take the glory.

Nice Oscars mate!

Where abouts are you? Maybe you could sent the chippy over to Lincoln when you are done with him!

That would be a nice foot print for a jag pair

i agree, you should buy a few more while its still small and see if any pair. or you could put a few other aggressive SA cichlids with it but youd have to do that before it got bigger and more aggressive. theyre very territorial, the best way ive found to keep them from killing new tank mates is to take them out of the tank while the new fish get used to the tank. rearrange the decorations then put the jag back in. that way the jags territory's gone and the new fish feels more dominant.
