What happened with your Oscar Minx?

 

[Knox213]

LOL And i know where some fire eels are.

I may needd to clarify the place though.

It was a whiel back and that store is'nt too good with fish any more ever since they stopped Q/T the fish


and umm guys.. Whats that yellow cichlid? Witch is around 2-3" max? I Frogot if its new world or old world?

they're realy pretty and i want one as i heard there not very aggresive . If oyu dont know what it is. I Will ask my mom since she has abit of experiance with the good ol cichlids.

EDIT: Shee gave him away to some-one on the forums

forgot who

steve? something liek that.

I Want to know how she's getting on.

Oscar went to stevem (along with alot of my other fish). And they are all doing fine steve assures me

How about a EBJD?

 

[Davo86]

Thank indigo, yep I have left, 7-8" severum, 2 x 8-9" senegals, 7" bgkf, 4 x 4" geophagus and 7 x 1.5" giant danios.
Ohh and I forgot my elusive 5" bn plec

Liking the stocking Minx, Looks very familiar

Personally, with that combo, I'd go for either a Electric blue Dempsey or a Blue Acara variant,
that is of course if you are looking for another cichlid,

Oe how about a trio of large Golden Panchax for the upper level,

with regard to the eel, have you been to Maidenhead at Newport lately?
last time i went in they had a nice selection of decent sized Fire, Tyre-Track and Peacock Eels

 

[minxfishy]

Wouldnt the panchax be bichir food? Beautiful fish but dont want them to be eaten!! How big do they get?

EBJD's at LFS near me, never took much notice of them, but will have another longer look.

I was at mere park last Wednesday, never saw any eels at all, usually they are at the back, still had the large ornate birchir but no eels, unless they moved them and I missed them

 

[Knox213]

Will heck A & D and Earls Near me

they have some big fish.

 

[always4lora]

Electric Blue Jack dempseys have a habit of dying ! well at least mine did so i havent botherd with them since, the normal JD looks good.

 

[Davo86]

My remaining Panchax is slightly over 4" and quite chunky, and isn't bothered by my two Senegals, largest being around 8-9"

Was a few weeks since i was in there so I gues they may well have been sold.

 

[indigoj]

Ooh I forgot panchax, I had a trio a while back including a big male that was close to 4" - very friendly they used to swim through my fingers.

 

[Knox213]

when Always4lora said "Eletric"£ i tohught

Elephant fish! they'll look GREAT with your current stocking!

 

[Wills]

How about Uaru? Could work nice with the Geo and the Sev, if you remortgage the house you could get some of the Pandas or if you want some of the more "different" cichlids how about true Parott Cichlids dont know much about them but they look nice Or mixing in some of the rarer acaras (Aequidens, Krobia etc) would be pretty nice quite a few popping up around the country. If it were me I would get some nice L numbers to add into that mix. What about some Dats? Beautiful fish IMO

Kind of know what you mean about the lack of ideas cos Im pretty similar lol but I keep getting odd hints of ideas haha

Wills

 

[Brunell4070]

yellow acara!

 

[GShorty1981]

Uaru does sound like a great idea.

How about a tank liek this...

Severum
uaru's
Red Head Tapajo's
Bentosi, Colombian, Black Widow or some other type of medium SA Tetra

Only problem is BGKF and Birchir wouldnt fit in with the tetras.

 

[minxfishy]

Uaru are expensive and I cant say they appeal particuarly. The fish I already have, are staying. Thanks for the ideas already, going to have a look around later, see what I can find.
