The site in question is almost a carbon copy of waterwolves. Same board format, pinned topic almost the same, just with less content.

I wonder what is the point...

Well, they also think that fish like a tin foil barb/bala shark/pacu can be kept in 30 gallon tanks.

Also, just make sure they are not really just young eupterus...

Well, you can't keep the bichir in that size tank for too long. The bichir can get over a foot long...

Re: Other oddballs you keep

I used to keep many, but they have been replaced, along with most of my fish tanks last couple of years by a brand new, life long(I hope) hobby called a wife. :roll:

certainly doable. Just provide enough dark corners so they don't fight over them(that is, if you get 2)

From experience when I was much younger and eager for tank busters, a red tail WILL outgrow a 125 in one year if properly kept for. Tigers are even worse. They are easily spooked and a sub adult specimen can break a glass tank if he is motivated.(thankfully that did not happen) As for keeping 2 ...

oh, it's about a guy, through some hand jesturing, makes his 4 fancy tail gold fish swim synchronously.

Syn. ocellifer

So I took pity for a 2 inch Syn ocellifer hiding behind a filter tube 4 month ago in the LFS. After release, he/she promptly disappeared under some hollow plastic tree stump. I moved that stump yesterday, and out swim this 7 inch fat monster of a fish :shock: Question: Is he close to his max size ...

Yes, I think it is no coincidence that one fry was found per basket(I have an Eheim 2028)

My mbunas are breeding like rabbits, no less than 4 holding females at one time... I feed the multis sinking wafers from NLS after lights out but they also come out when I sprinkle cichlid food. I'm sure in the darkness, quite a few cichlid fry became their meal as well. In any case, when I got them ...

koi might be okay if they are large enough; but with in a year, a catfish such as a channel cat will eat all your goldfish.

It pays to keep up with filter maintainance...

Yesterday I was cleaning my Eheim filter and found 3 1 inch long S. Multi swimming around in it. I keep 9 adult S. Multis with my Mbunas. Since Mbunas are not really good carriers for S. multis, I mainly keep the multis around for the love of catfish and never thought of them spawning. So far, they ...

I will post pictures when everything is setup. As for Mbunas, I just have flocks of M. Estherae, M. Lombardoi, OB L. fuellebroni, and L caeruleus. Nothing too exciting...The stars of the tank are going to be the catfish. With a baby coming, I will be pretty hard pressed already to justify to my wife ...

Thanks!

How many of them could I put in the tank of that size, given that I am only going to purchase one or the other.

How many Multipuncatus or Petricola?

I currently have a 110 Gallon(bottom area 60"X 18") stocked with around 25 Mbunas with plenty of rockwork. I was wondering if I were to add S. Multipuncatus and/or S. Petricola, how many can I stock given there are no other catfish in the tank? Also, can I safely stock both species at the same time ...
