Just a little update. They left them both alone for around two weeks. The Anubias was growing fairly well until they ate it to the roots. Five large leafs and stems. They only picked at the Java Fern, but I cannot see where it is even starting to grow new roots. The leafs are looking pretty...

Thanks for the help guys. I picked up an Anubias Congensias and thin leaf Java Fern last night at Petsmart. They only had one of each in the larger sizes so I'm going to give these a try, if they work well then I will pick some more up. I used thread and tied both to separate pieces of...

My days of multiple tanks are long gone. I'm down to this tank and that's how it's going to stay.

I'm trying to find some plants that my Severums will leave alone. I'm in need of basic plants that require little to no maintenance. I've always used duckweed and frogbit as I like how it looks and gives cover. I bought enough duckweed to completely cover the top of my 125g and my four...

Pittbull.. what is your male to female ratio? One of them is iffy if it's a male or female. It's still only around 3" or so but it is the dominant severum. It even pushes around the male severum that is larger than it is. Of all the cichlids I've had I have never had a female dominate a...

How large is the small one? At what size do their fins start filling out? Mine are still juvies.

I purchased 4 green severums that are now old enough to sex. It appears that I ended up with 1 male and 3 female. Will there be any aggression issues in a 125g with 1 male and 3 female? I'm debating on keeping all four or waiting until two pair up and selling the other two females. What...

Added two Botia loaches.

Of the 4 Severums that I picked up the largest male picks on the other 3. The rest of the fish leave them alone and vice versa. Great looking tank!

Reserved for Moon Light pic.

About a year ago I lost all of my predators in a week long power outage (my main fish were over 5 years old). Since I had to start over I decided to do a community tank this time around. Most of my new fish are 6-9 months old (Severums are 2 months). Below are the specs for my community...

Water changes are the only real way to remove Nitrates.

I would go for the 1500 from Amazon and you would still be saving money.

A few new pics..

The severums are growing well. I'd say they put on about an inch or so since I first picked them up. My Syno decorus are getting larger as well, I rarely see them.

Here are a few pics.. forgive the crappy quality. I bought a new camera and it absolutely sucks at taking pictures...

The parents will eat the white eggs.

Yes, the white eggs are dead and the brown / grey eggs are fertile.

Two of my Australian males are around 4" and they are starting to get fairly tall. What is the max size for these? I've read 4" - 8"...
