Kitah Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Picked this up the other day.... will look awesome when it is all up and going! Eheim canister sitting underneath and I will eitherget a second canister or just build a sump. Will probably end up upgrading to an 8x2x2 for the americans but will see. Will have two sailfin plecos, 1 red tiger oscar, one silver tiger oscar, and a lutino red oscar. There is a clown loach in there at the moment which was a freebie with the tank. Also considering a red tail shark and school of silver sharks but will wait and see on that. I have two nice rivulatus I contemplated but then got paranoid and wussed out. Has anyone here had success with keeping rivs and oscars together? The tank will have multiple pieces of driftwood and rocks, just havent got them in yet.

Kitah Posted September 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Also just to add- huge thanks to pet city and agenof aquariums. Both awesome places. Cant believe I had never been to pet city before- now I have been twice in a month! Been going to AOA for years though! Going to be a more frequent visitor from now on though I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elblingo Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Beautiful 6x2x2 mate! Looks like the hood door may be a little warped though, if you bought it new i''d be saying something about it. Loving the rock backround too man!

Kitah Posted September 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Was second hand and a good deal imo considering everything that came with it. I noticed it was warped before I bought it, but easily fixed- can deal with that later Have a nice 3.5ft long branchy piece of drift wood to go in it so far, need to track down some nice big bits of driftwood as well as some nice rocks I am now a huge fan of those rock walls. Just bought another one, a 3fter, to go in the back of the tank for my axolotls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitah Posted September 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Some greenery would look awesome, I'm just not sure my oscars will leave it in place when they are bigger is all! no harm in trying I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozmo Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Some big silk plant might work well. Petbarn have a decent range at reasonable prices. I bet your Oscars will still destroy them though and if you go with the Rivs they will help destroy them as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitah Posted September 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 I already have the rivs, just in a different tank for now. Will see spose I could try some silk plants. Probably will try a few live first, don't care if they destroy them really, so worth a try. Maybe I will have gentle, nice oscars Stuck a few more rocks in today, just kinda stuck em in anywhere. These rocks are quite small so will find something a bit bigger down the track but they'll do for now there is also a large piece of goldvinenin there which has decided it does not want to sink -.- the longest point/length of this piece is 3.5ft. Cant really see in the pics but it will be an awesome piece i rekon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie wonder Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 Cant go wrong with driftwood and rocks for americans, looking good:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitah Posted September 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 A friend of mine told me soon after I took these pics that the plant in the front left is toxic, so it is out.... also, the bio balls floating in the top will come out, just didnt know where to put them haha. "Meh just throw em in the tank for now" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
