i would get 4 and hope you have a pair. most say get 6 to get a for sure pair. which you cvould get 6 but would have to get rid of some as they grew older. something else you might want to keep in mind, when they start breeding they will get very aggressive, as cichlids do, and will need to be...

its possible that they are just fighting over territory, depending on how big your tank is.

what size tank is your new one? and if its under 55g stay away from oscars and look at something smaller. firemouths possibly

they like plants, any sort of hiding place they like to rip up plants too they like plants, any sort of hiding place they like to rip up plants too

a 75g would be fine for the BGK if you didnt get the pleco. besides...a pleco that size will make a lot of waste and not do much but poop. and i wouldnt get tiger barbs with the BGk, they tend to be nippy fish. think of a more peaceful fish that is big enough to not get eaten by the BGK...

dwarf gouramis are slow and sorta lazy when it comes to fry. they like to chase but if thier fed enough dont bother eating. you could try an angelfish, but once full grown your neons might be at risk. and im sure your pleco has his own at a few of them also, even the neons. feed every other day...

only problem with getting so many is finding them homes as they get bigger. 5 would be fine in that tank, they might like some more plant cover though. normally if you buy discus from the area they will have the same or close to same water conditions. aclimate them over an hour or so in a...

i would get one dwarf gourami and see how it went you have a large tank and if you have something for the fish to set territories up with theyll be fine. your tank is actually understocked, IMO, that is until your livebearers start popping out fry like no other and umm...my betta and dwarf...

by whitespot, do you mean ich? its brought on by stress. and supposedly once they get it they cant again. its not exactly the shippers fault. and you should say who the shipper is so that people know that this shipper should probably be passed up if anyone else has had the same experiances...

paradise fish are like bettas or gouramis and should none of the three should be put together. even guppies with large colorful tails can get torn apart or killed. paradise fish are a gamble. depending on what you want depends on how he will act. just get one. if his authority feels as though...

anything deep rooting. amazon swords, anubias-dont plant it goes on wood, i think some wentiis might work too its a hit or miss situation

i doubt its caused from any sort of stress. i dont like tiger barbs, but i also highly doubt they have anything to do with whats happening. and for getting another...i think these 2 need to get better first. ive never heard of a fish getting stressed because thier M/F ratio isnt correct. as...

try feeding him a shelled pea. if his scales are sticking out then it is coning...and has dropsy. http://www.fishjunkies.com/Diseases/dropsy.php

the only thing i would put with a pair of convicts is probably...an oscar? and even then he'd get beaten up. any fish you put with them they will shred to the point they cant swim and then knaw on them slowly until they die. maybe you should just stick with two pairs of cons? the black and the...

try aquabid. you can see what people say about the fish and they have great deals and some good fish and look at some of the fish at rocky mountain discus...a lot of them look stunted. thats the bad thing about ordering online. you see the great quality of parents and then you dont get as high...
