My bad, long night, and I was confusing a meter with a foot.

Baby Oscar, the pattern will fade as it quickly grow larger.
Adult size will be around 1 meter, and the fish will need a very large tank with a filter that moves a large volume of water.

All I can say is OUCH!

I found that using 2 or 3 sponge blocks in aquaclear filters is the best way to use them. The carbon isn't particularly useful unless you're removing medication/s from the tank, and the extra sponge...

Once they've started breeding it will likely continue for at least several more rounds before they take a break. Other fish will eat new babies, they don't have spines like the adults.

Looking good young man. I turn 59 shortly.

That's what happened to our German shepherd. Love our dogs so much and miss them when they're gone, but life is better when they're a part of it.

They will live in seawater, not fresh water. Give them to someone with a saltwater aquarium?

A 20 gallon tank is too small for breeding pairs of just about anything larger than Apistogramma species. You could do a colony of African multifasciatus if you tossed in several dozen escargot...

Their venom is more potent than other bees or hornets, but a single sting isn't going to kill you unless you're allergic and go into shock. They've been aware of the hornets coming this way for...

I saw a video shot in a Mexican river a few years ago. Same thing, but the narrator said they were completely stripping the available food, starving out native species. Essentially like an aquatic...

Meh, 215 lbs isn't as bad as my 220, lol. It's 7'x2'x2', had to take the back door and basement door off the hinges to fit it through. Wasn't bad getting it down the stairs. just used a couple of 8'...

Check out planetcatfish.com for more specific info on that particular species. You can also find other users on that site that keep the same fish, and try messaging them.

Click on the "55 gallon" library page link for some recommended stockings. In the left corne is a link to the forum, with various folders to address more specific concerns.

Here's a link to a cichlid forum library, which addresses tanks size and compatability questions. Spend some time reading through the forum posts, and you'll likely find just about every sort of...

Jewels won't mix well with mbuna, I ran 2 aquaclear 70's or 110's on my 55's. I used UG filter plates, with one filter drawing through a lift tube on each plate. Kept debris from collecting under the...

I tried that once, many years ago. Found a pinky finger size baby electric catfish at a dept store pet department, labelled as a common pleco. Put the wee zapper into my 55 gallon African cichid...

Bristlenose plecos are the best bet for eatingalgae/keeping the glass clean in an mbuna tank. Just make sure there's sufficient cover for the pleco to escape overactive cichlids.

I bred/raised hundreds of BN plecos some years ago. I started with 3 pairs in a 30 gallon tank. As long as the males had enough suitable caves to claim separate territories they were fine, but the...

Geeze, I was starting to feel like one of the last oldtimers around here, lol. I'm down to the 220 now, all the smaller tanks have been fishless for a few years. The 125 currently houses a large...

Patience, and let them grow out normally. If you want something to breed faster get some Ancistrus. They typically mature about 8 months after hatching.

They're slow to mature, may actually be a couple more years before they'll breed.

IME a sponge filter is much bette than airstones or bubble wands. Those always accumulate minerals and clog up over time. reducing the airflow and circulation. The ATI hydrosponge pro series are the...

IME the advantages of a compound bow are the reduced stress of holding at full draw for any length of time and arrow speed. The carrying weight is certainly greater, but it depends on where you're...

Awesome accomplishment, well done.

The next level challenge is to hold a hunting knife between your teeth, drop down on the deer from a tree, and cut his throat on the run through the brambles....
