no where
grah had a few pics of my 125 but got deleted grr. anyways, for my 125 i got one eheim 2260 and my magnum 360 ( which is on my 20 long ) but the eheim 2260 wont scuk wwater up so i need hel0p on that. it does suck water uup ( got it working a few times but then quits ) i can hear the motor running and working and the water being sucked up in the pipes but still. so any ideas on that?

pics of my 20 long that is houseing my platys and my tiney oscar ( 1 to 1.5 inches ) when the oscar reaches 3 inches he will be goin in the 125. but the platys will be staying in the 20 long. and the magnum 360 works wonderfully! ( maybe to much for the 20 long but its on there to get the BB colony going so i can help my 125 cycle faster.

the only other fish that will be goin in the 125 will be my 2 firemouths ( had 3 but one died in the 5 gallon bucket ) but this weeekend ill be goin to the petstore to return my pink cons ( keeping my black cons ) sooooo yah any ideas on the eheim 2260?

Heehee. Long hair better.

What you doing with that Oscar, LBF? Already giving up on your Flametail project? :( That O just ate all the room you bought!
 
oh and i do plan on getting more fish, right now ill have 1 oscar 2 firemouths. plan on hveing 1 sev 1 more oscar 12 tiger barbs and 3 to 6 silver dollars.
so the final stocking will be:

2 oscars
2 firemouths ( not a pair both same sex i think both males )
1 sev
12 tiger barbs
3 to 6 silver dollars
AND i may add a male black con dunno yet.
and a pleco.

filteration system will be:
1 eheim 2260 ( as soon as i can get the dang thing working finally )
1 magnum 360
think thats enough filteration?
 
ya giving up on the project, i may sell the 20 and 29 i have downstairs. or i may just put them away tell later date. ( hmmm i may actually keep them LOL ) once the oscar reaches 3 inches hes goin in the 125. for now hes staying in the 20 long ( yes to small but i DO have a bigger tank for him but just gotta get the eheim working right... its a PITA! ) first time owning a canister filter let alone owning 2 atm. but the 20 long is overfiltered so im good for now.

HAHA i miss my long hair!!!! but my landlord already made the apt so i had to let it go * he hated my long hair ) but ya its cut so no use in whining over it..
 
Just so I can say I told you so, two Oscars randomly thrown together works only about 10% of the time. If you find a breeding pair, that's one thing. But just putting two baby Oscars together is the birth of a time bomb. One Oscar can mature before the other and attack it, or they could both be male and destroy everything. The odds are extremely against a two-oscar set up succeeding at random. Please do your tank the favor of sticking with ONE Oscar. And think of how many other fish you can add to equal the bioload of one oscar. My 125g has one oscar and three huge raphael cats and one L200 pleco. If you threw all four of these other fish into a blender and molded into an Oscar shape, it still wouldn't be as big as one more Oscar. Think, think about it.
