Sure will, it'll be a while before I have the tank set up though. Gotta have the room where it's going to go painted first. I'll make sure to post pictures, heck, I'll even post pictures of them as they grow so we can see how they change :D

So, does anyone have any issues or concerns for 3 peacock eels and 2 angelfish I'm the 55?

Thanks you myswtsins, I have always been intrigued by peacock eels and wanted to see if I could do a little breeding with them thus the #6. As it turns out my information was wrong all along, breeding is not an obtainable goal so I'll be happy with my little group of 3 unless anyone objects to...

Ok I gotta be honest with you. I had an aquarium book a while back, loved it and read it so much that I ended up wearing like 2 of them out. Anyways, in the book they had peacock eels listed as a max size of 6 inches and I trusted them and never looked it up myself. So 10 inches eh? Dang. I was...

What do you mean by limited size tank?

Long time no see, well I'm back and have a couple new tanks since I was last here. Here is the stocking plan for a 55 gallon I have. 6 peacock eels 2 angelfish The tank is mainly about the peacock eels while the 2 angelfish are a mated pair I have in another 55 gallon that I am trying to lower...

How big do creek chubs get? Those are rather interesting. Plain, but pretty

Sad update Last night, one of the medium sized ones was pale as a chalk. The morning, he was dead. I knew he was gonna die, actually i thought he was dead last night. But he was still kicking somehow. Dang, I forgot that I still have the dead fish in a bag. Forgot to bury it. Right now, im...

If you get a 75 gallon tank, then perhaps an Oscar would suit your fancy? You would probably have to get rid of the loach once the Oscar gets big enough to consider him food though. Blue gouramis are lovely fish. I had a female blue gourami that I will never forget. She was the kindest fish...

Forgot to mention this yesterday day. Either one or two of my butterfly fish will sometimes sit on the plants on the bottom. Its no secret that they are almost exclusively top dwellers and rarely go below the top. Can anyone find an explanation for this?

Hey y'all, I have a question concerning my African butterfly fish. I currently have four just chilling in qt even though it's been a month, I'm waiting for three of them to get a bit bigger. Anyway, one of them is pretty big and one of them is pretty scrawny. It goes like this, one scrawny, two...

I have a 5.5 inch rainbow shark and it isn't aggressive to any of my fish, not the angels, not the 3 inch emerald Cory, not even the 1 inch bronze cory. The most he does is chase other fish away from his favorite flower pot cave. I may just have a peaceful one, I don't know. Anyway, your...

If my butterfly fish ever do jump out, they better hope they die before I get my hands on them -_-

I believe the rumor that they jump a lot comes from the fact that they would jump to catch most of their food. Btw, the tank that they are in now only has a narrow strip of covering where the light strip goes over. In all and all, there is roughly 50-75 percent of the surface uncovered and they...

I beg to differ, I have only seen my butterflies jump once and that was when I was acclimating them. They didn't jump even when they were making the 6 hour trip from florida to my home. my niece even ran straight into my dresser that is holding their tank and they didn't even flinch. I strongly...

Well, I forgot to do it yesterday and I've been thinking about it today. I think I'm gonna wait a while longer until I can actually get my glass lids on my 55 because I'm afraid my angelfish or leaf fish might intimidate or scare them into jumping out.

I realized I forgot to tell y'all the right date as to when I put the African butterfly fish into at, it was 3 weeks ago. And I personally believe that if a fish is perfectly fine and showing no symptoms of anything and eating well for 3 weeks, then they are ready to go into the main tank. So...

Ahh, I can see the confusion. I was talking about my qt tank right before I asked about the sand. I meant my 55 gallon. Hmm, my fish are messy, so I suppose black would be better? Doesn't the sand basically compact itself around the roots and make it so that no nutrients can get to the roots? I...

I've read that pool filter sand is good and cost effective. If I do get sand, I think in gonna get white

Haha, I was lucky that I had such good luck :p. I have 4 African butterfly fish in quarantine along with 2 bronze and 2 albino cory's. I want yalls opinion on this, should I put sand in it? Currently it's bare bottom but I wouldn't mind having about 18 inches planted on one side along with vals...
