Matmatmat Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Welcome:) Tank looks great! Definitely will need to get more filtration on that bad boy.. Is that a big goldfish in with a your cichlids? How is that working out ? Do they beat it up? I have a feeder fish that became friends with my flowerhorn but have not seen a Goldie that big living in a tank like yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kane123 Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 probly should go either african or american types of fish, as water parameters are different, but nice looking fish all the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bidkev Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 As Kane says but you may get away with it them being central Americans. I definitely wouldn't be adding any S Americans though. Got any salt in there for the mono? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trk18 Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 That's one fat looking goldfish lol ! Massive lmao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grante Posted October 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 @matmatmat Yeah the goldfish has been with me from the start and been in all my tanks but got someone with a pond who wants him. None of the others really seem interested. @kane Im still new to this so as a newbie i go to the petshop with a list of what i have and pick my fav from what they recommend. @bidkev Ive never added salt before or ever been advised to, Ive had the mono for about 3 months and he seems ok, very active, eats alot like the others. Would you suggest salt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mines bigger Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Mono are a brackish species and while don't need salt to survive it certainly makes them colour up a little better and makes them a little happier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citypainter Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 True but make sure the salt is not Iodised. Just do some research before adding anything, (Fish or chemical). Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still_Shorty Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Welcome mate. Great looking tank. Have you got a background on the outside of it. If not...then a black or dark blue paint job would cut the reflections in your pics & give the tank more depth. Just a suggestion Grante. Enjoy the site.
