All the fish are doing well, the female Green Terror currently has a batch of babies hidden in a cave. Hoping to grow some of them out. The Jack Dempsey is camera shy so thats the best i could get.
-
I recently got a young male to pair with my female GT and now have a female? Jack Dempsey in a grow out tank. The oscars seem to be the hardest to get photos of, they never stop moving.
-
Earthworms are always a good option. Or mealworms if your lfs keeps them in stock.
-
What are your parameters? I've found Giant Kokopu go off food quite easily if nitrates creep up. Try some live food.
-
How does the fish look? Swollen stomach, stringy poo? Could be internal parasites. But im not good with diseases.
-
Just want to say thanks for all the stuff, way more than I expected. Really great friendly and helpful guy! I look forward to hearing about your next project.

I've sent you a text.

Good spotting! He's such a relaxed fish, isn't scared of the cichlids at all. The oscars have tried to chase him a couple of times and he doesn't even move, so they just give up. I've ordered two more to give him a bit of a school.
-
Some photos of the tank and growth comparison from when I got them to now. (Apologies for the order they're in)
-
Yes, she doesn't seem to eat that much and is "regular". Just heavy boned
-
So far I have 2 Oscars and a female Green Terror. I'm looking at getting a Cuban and a Jack Dempsey.
-
@Silverdollarboy2 Still got the natives. Just galaxiids and smelt at the moment. I was looking at a school of balas or dollars but decided the stocking might be a bit much?
-
I've got a GT and two oscars in a 400 litre which will be going in soon. I'm hoping both the Oscars are the same gender. I'm still not sure what else I'll be putting in there. I want to end up with five cichlids to spread the aggression. I'm open to suggestions
-
Currently a couple of goldfish until my heaters arrive. Then it's going to house American cichlids.
-
Go whitebaiting, any large river system should have them. Have you tried coastal streams? Semi-tidal streams seem to be the best for inanga.
-
I now have a total of five big ones which will be going into my 2 metre tank in a couple of weeks. They're probably between 15 and 19cm? I'll measure them when I move them.
-
At the size the inanga are now, probably. But I've had them with larger inanga before without a problem.
-
Bad shots of my tanks and fish. I've got two 230l tanks hooked up together with my big GKs in one and 8 young inanga, 2 small smelt, 3 small bandeds and 5 bullies in the other. You can see the GK in the background has a missing eye, was like that when I got it...
-
Is that for your GK? Will look at doing an update with photos this weekend. Slowly getting everything looking nice again.
-
About 60-70% diy and the rest is Scoria.

This tank is a saltwater native at the moment. I actually totally shut down my FW natives. I really miss them though, so I'm in the process of setting them back up.Awesome! Those carpet sharks are getting fatPeople seem to use this http://aqadvisor.comThanks Okay thanks, i won't be getting those then! It's growth has really surprised me! It's trebled in size in the last month!
