if you wanna go huge.. get an arowana... i had one and it was SICK!

 

[motortrendz]

look into rainbow cichlids, or guramies..

 

[Ryanr1212]

anything else wrong with my post??


haha

 

[motortrendz]

nope.. thats all..lol

shes really green, so id hatre so see her get big "feeder" eating fish that will outgrow that 30 in weeks

 

[Ryanr1212]

haha but its funny. then go with a german ram and a sucker fish

 

[motortrendz]

there u go.. but u need to lower the ph for the german or blue rams..lol, just busting your chops ryan.. we'll learn u yet

 

[Ryanr1212]

omg fml... you dont have to lower the ph too much... i had one... but i also had a discus and an arowana... they all got along well... i also had 2 sucker fish and they were friends. everyone was happy in my tank so i thought maybe she should do the same.. i only had a 30g tank and had to get rid of the arowana when he got to big but everything else fit perfectly

 

[motortrendz]

yea i got a 92g corner with all different cichlids.. and have had all sorts of FW over the last 15 yrs.. lol .. tru u dont need to lower it much but discus and rams are soft water fish.. arowannas are awesome.. but grow huge..mine outgrew my 92g in 1 yr.. i also have 2 sucker fish one plecco is abt 14in and the other is a spotted plecco abt 5 in.. i have green terrors and oaru''s ,nigaraguense, suranemisis, demons, jeophari..and 2 oscars(which im trying to rehome)

 

[Ryanr1212]

[motortrendz]

[Ryanr1212]

geeze that looks sick!! now all you need is a piranha

 

[motortrendz]

ur crazy..

 

[KathyC]

ur crazy..

You mixed Africans and South Americans...where is your PH at ??? :fishhit:

 

[motortrendz]

7.9.. i actually brought the s.americans up to 8.0 over 4months.. added the africans and then brought it back down.. it ranges from 7.7/7.9.. they all do awesome.. ive been playing with FW and different mixes for 15 yrs now.. the lower ph on africans calm them and make them less agressive.. and the s.ameicans have no change in any behavior or health.. havent lost a fish from an illness in a few years.. just from fights..
