[Salam]

Wha'ever

EB's win, end of.

I have to agree with that

Apart from that fact, your plan sounds good

 

[Salam]

Pah, you boys have no taste. Pink and green is the way to go

Might have found another option - Sajicas. Too many choices! But at least I know now that the JDs would be ok with the cories.

I have a standard female JD aswell so there

T bars are great Sal, there is a thread in the journal section. Check it out.

T-bars are great. I currently have two, but they are getting pestered to high heaven by a certain convict (david?) Haha. The boss of my tank atm is my breeding pair of Port Acara though. Theres a suggestion right there, port acara? I have two currently, purchased from Sweet Knowle Aquatics in Stratford. Absolutely beautifull fish, real character and a little bit of attitude, yet at the same time i keep them with a group of oto's and japonica shrimp. So far, so good.

I'm not going to join the debate on JD or EBJD, as i love both equally. The EB's will always have a special place for me as my male was just magnificent, but i think if i had two side by side in a shop i would go for the standard one 9/10. That may surprise a few people?

Thanks balajake. I would like a pair though and my worry is that they would get too aggressive when breeding. Other option would be Jewels. Any thoughts on them?

Single Jewels are quite calm really. Put a mate in & it's clobbering time for anything else if they get it on. lovely fish though.

Now, when you say a single Jewel, is this a single jewel in a tank by itself, or a single jewel with non jewel tankmates? I had a single Jewel, and that fish was satan re-incarnated

And Salam, are you only getting one jack or a pair? I have a pair and when they spawn, male Jack attacks everything. He bites me when I clean the tank, he tried to attack my cat through the glass. Just an evil little fish. So if you are planning on a having a pair, you may want to rethink cories.

Hey, they're HRP's, not Convicts, James!!

 

[Verminator89]

My bad

[Salam]

I'm set on Tbars now, will definitely get them. They seem more peaceful than JDs and I don't need to upgrade in the future, but the tank will be perfect for them right from the beginning. Can I have apistogramma with them in addition to the cories?

 

[minnnt]

You will be suprised how aggressive Cryptoheros can be. when they breed you don't want any other cichlid in the tank.

 

[Salam]

Are there any more peaceful Apistos that could go? This thread started with JDs and now it's going round the Wrekin

 

[minnnt]

Its not the Apisto's you need to worry about. T-bars will hammer any smaller cichlid if they breed.
