Fruju Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 Thought I'd might as well post an update of my current stocking. Tank is 450L (too small for full size specimens, but will do for now). Stock is 1x Cuban female (20cm), 1x red oscar (30cm), 1x jag (12cm), 1x super pretty convict female (<10cm), 1x longfin senegal bichir (20cm), 1x delhezi bichir (25cm), 1x palmas buttekoferi bichir (25-30cm). Tank receives 50%-70% waterchange weekly and have zero problems. Cuban likes pushing the bichirs around sometimes and frequently wants to pair with the jaguar who doesn't want a bar of it.

Tread50 Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 That is a nice stock list and the tank is looking awesome. And yes that is one sexy convict, such great colouring. Fruju 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruju Posted June 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Cheers, I keep it looking clean as possible without algae build up. Apart from diatoms on the glass there is no algae to speak of, which I am happy about. Convicts are underrated, females are the nicest imo and they have value as an interesting dither fish without inflicting damage.

Adrienne Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 and females will try to breed with any male that looks at them - convict females that is. Tread50 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruju Posted June 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 To be honest, the female convict has just wanted to fight the male jag haha. But no doubt would be interested in a male convict. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Nice looking fish!!! That convict is a stunner, and the bichirs look great too. Love the aquascaping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruju Posted June 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Thanks David, the bichirs have grown well, especially the delhezi, it has put on a lot of mass as well as length. Considering dedicating this tank to a breeding pair of cubans (once I grow out a suitable male), will change the layout a little bit, but keeping the same central american hardscape.

Silverdollarboy2 Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Great looking tank, your Cuban looks amazing! Fruju 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruju Posted June 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Cheers, she is my favourite fish. She goes through very dramatic colour changes depending on her mood, she doesn't particularly like the little convict or bichirs, but she gets along very well with the oscar who is also a model citizen.
