I will be experimenting on feeding and growth rates of fish, and I plan to start with babies. this is a school science experiment, but I want to use fish that after the experiment ends, will still hold my interest.
I want something unique and pretty, and can dedicate 2 20g long tanks. each tank will be bare except for some PVC tubes to hide in and some fake plants to add a touch of greenery.
I will be keeping 2-3 babies in each tank, and have decided to do cichlids because of their interesting behavior and color, as well as their general hardiness. I am extremly intriged by both discus and angels, and my past experience with discus proved them to be fairly resistant to scattered feeding and few water changes.
with these fish, I would be happy to do 50% water changes daily, or 50% changes every other day. I am planning to feed one group of fish only very good quality flakes, and the other group will be fed frozen blood worms, beef heart, brine shrimp, live brine shrimp, as well as a good quality flake. I was wondering what would be good choices? the ideas I have so far are
kribensis
angels
discus
1 to each tank electric blue jack demphsy
panda dwarf cichlid
firemouth
convicts
so far my top pics are angels, discus and the dwarfs, but I would much rather do discus or angels. in the spring I would be able to upgrade to a 75g tank tops, eventually I would like a single mated pair.
