Noonie Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 I have a 54l juwel cycling and no idea what to do with it. I was going to use it for dwarf puffers but at $29.90 each, I'm reluctant. I have a 240l planted community tank so looking for something a bit different ( still planted though). Would some smaller cichlids be an option ? Maybe blue rams? :dno: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Li@m Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 For your 240l you could most definitely put dwarf cichlids in there depending on the other inhabitants. Have a look at aspitos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noonie Posted September 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 They look cool ! We have a bit of a mix in the 240l. Neon, Columbian & black skirt tetras, a pearl gourami, cories, various bristlenose, upsidedown cat, sydontis and a few other small live bearers.

Li@m Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 They might not go to well with the synos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camtang Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 What about pygmy corys or ottos for the small tank and some rasaboras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaSa Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Can't beat a swarm of 20 - 30 male Tiger Endler and a few pygmy corys in a nice planted tank. Cheers, JaSa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 Can't beat a swarm of 20 - 30 male Tiger Endler and a few pygmy corys in a nice planted tank. The wait for photos is killing me! :smot: JaSa, I checked out the wicked photos in your signature's link, and was struck by how the colour scheme of your Tiger Endlers resembled that of an old coarse snakeskin I had. Do you know of anyone breeding coarse snakeskins with that colour scheme (lots of glowing green/yellow and black and a blue shoulder patch)?

JaSa Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 Hi there, as far as I can tell by my test crossing, the Tiger Endler here in NZ are either Y-linked Galaxy + Tigrinus/Zebrinus or just Y-linked Tigrinus/Zebrinus and X-linked Snakeskin. I would suggest to grab any male Yellow Snakeskin out of the shops and cross it with a Tiger female. That way the male hopefully brings a bit of colour with him but mainly a decent size caudal fin is what we need from him; the female will sort out the rest. Good luck, JaSa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 I'm keeping some blue moscows, which have large caudal fins that don't have sharp corners; I guess an F2 cross of female moscow x male Tiger could give the sort of snakeskin that I'm after? The main difficulty is that the metalhead is probably y-linked and if the tigrinus/zebrinus is also, then to get a snakeskin with just the snakeskin pattern I'd have to use another male somewhere down the line. But hopefully by then I'd have the colour and body sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
