Haha, yeah, but a specimen the size of the one in the vid would probably cost more than my current setup (a 225g). :thud:

Hoplolatilus chlupatyi Saltwater and way too expensive. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnuBvBB1v_k Tigrinus cat Too expensive and difficult to keep with other large tankmates Mbu Puffer Too expensive and requires a ridiculous tank size DqIQHa6KCto

You don't need a marine tank to keep puffers. There are plenty of freshwater species (ie fahaka, mbu, dwarf, congo, etc) and bracking species (ie GSP's, figure 8's, etc.).

HOB = easier maintanence and lower price. Canister = not as inconvenient space-wise (does not take up behind-tank space), generally higher flowrate, much larger media capacity, more options for customization, less noise. I prefer canisters hands down (I even have a canister on my 3.5 gallon...

It was only $.99 when I bought it. It is definitely one of the best games on my ipod (and I have over 100 games), but a couple of the levels I've completed so far have been a little too challenging. One of them took me 20+ tries to complete.

I can't help you on the disease/injury ID, but the fish is a Synodontus notata x Synodontis ocellifer hybrid. They're fairly common in the hobby and will usually get to about 8 inches long, 9" being the maximum.

^ agreed Yeah, that's why I usually try to include emoticons in my posts, but there are a lot of situations where there's really not a good emoticon to express the particular emotion (or the one that does could be taken the wrong way).

But that wasn't part of the original rule, and therefore the original rule was incorrect. But even if the new addition makes it correct, it required too much explanation (which imo makes it more of an experience thing, like I said before, than a rule). Well I just happen to be 7'3". :grinno...

"there's an exception to every rule" is a fact (well, more of an opinion really), not a rule.

Okay, then let's take your discus rule of thumb as an example. Can I keep one adult discus (8" long x 9" high) in a 10 gallon aquarium? There are always exceptions to every rule, which, imo, makes rules useless in a situation like this. The best rule for any fishkeeping situation is: use your...

I strongly disagree. That tank is not large enough for 13-19 large fish. For one thing, discus do best when kept in water that is below 15-20ppm in nitrates, which will be very difficult to achieve once the fish reach their adult sizes. And in addition to the, the tank doesn't provide an...

That would way overstock your tank, I wouldn't do any more than 6 discus and 3 angels. 200 gallons may seem big right now, but put 19 fish that are all around 6 inches long and between 8 and 13 inches tall, and I guarantee you it will look puny afterwards. The tank's footprint matters more than...

What? Lol, angels and discus are in two separate genera, you can't say that one is the other.

If you want a varied stock, then African cichlids aren't the way to go imo. To me, most of them look pretty much the same in body shape, the only real variation you get from them is color, which is why I haven't kept them in over 8 years. If I were you, I would set up the 90g as a South American...

Yes, I've seen quite a few setups with both angels and discus together.

Awesome jar, how long is it?

What does "invernt" mean?

Wouldn't you have to answer funkman262's question first to get an accurate answer to your question? :confused:

And why hasn't anyone posted in this thread in 12 days?
