Rest of Your Aquariums:

My dad has a 55 gallon with a 10" Oscar and baby 5" managuense (female) that we rescued from petsmart, it was missing almost all scales and had about 1/5 of her find remaining. The fins won't ever grow back, but she is now happy and yellow with all he scales. I keep telling my dad that he needs atleast a 180 for the Oscar and jag, but he doesn't want to upgrade, so I'll end up taking the jag when I move out and I'll put it in its own 120, and maybe try to breed it with mine.

How I got started with aquariums.:

I've always loved fish, I wanted to be a marine biologist hen I was younger. I've always loved water and cleanliness, so naturally fish caught my eye. I started with keeping a feeder gold fish, which eventually grew to 4 inches and unfortunately died after 4 years. Then I bought baby oscars, which both died gro ich while I was on vacation. Then I bought two rainbow cichlids that grew a few inches and then one killed the other, then the last one died 3 years later ( not sure why) now I have a man

Favorite fish:

Parachromis Managuensis

Fish I have bred:

Convicts, once.. Then Te heater died and Te water temp went to 73.. They tend to breed better around 80-82 for me

Why I like fish::

Their elegance, and beauty, yet their ferocity and strength. Theyre the perfect animal, maintenance may be a bit sometimes, if sudden cloudy water.. But once established that doesn't happen, just 30% changes every 3 days. My managunsis is a beautifully happy fish.

Best advice:

If you're not responsible, don't have a fish. You can't put a large fish in a small tank simply because they fit. Fish need exercise, and need some elbow room. Imagine a lion living in a cage that it barely fits in at a zoo, wouldn't you feel bad for it? Also, just because you have a filter doesn't mean that you don't have I clean your aquarium, just because your water is clear doesn't mean the tank is clean.. Syphon your tanks, clean the rocks; it's their home. Just because our breathing air is

Other pets:

Siberian Husky, boxer, 2 chahuahuas, 2 manecoon cats.
