i have two tigers one 13 inches and one eight as well as a 5 inch convict in a 75 gal check out my channel if you want to see it. im a bit worried about the water quality
@lhomme38 Yes it is said that since cichlids are aggresive fish the more you put in the tank the better as the aggresion will be spread out rather than focused on a specific fish.
how fast do jack's grow? Im wondering because i just bought some and there are so color ful and there only 2inch big. And i wanna know what they look like when there older!
@blackjaxin honestly Jacks grow pretty slowly...well, when compared to something like an oscar...but almost everything grows slower than an oscar lol. A well fed jack will grow about 1/2 and inch per month. By the first year, youre Jack should be about 7 inches or so. Females rarely grow larger than 7 inches, and males grow to a max of about 10 inches, with some individuals reaching a foot but thats very rare
Thanks for the input about the female JD's.. Lol, I've been waiting for mine to get bigger but obviously its a female and will stay around 7inches,to which is the lenght of mine and has been that size for a year now.. so Thanks... I had no idea that the females stay small..
Nice GT....looks like a female. Have u thought about a Lemon Oscar? Better yet a super rare Bumble Bee Oscar (Astronotus Orbicularis) ...I think u can only get them from Jeff Rapps.
Where did you purchase your 75 gal tank? Did it come as a kit, tank, hood, and stand together? Currently i have a 60 gal. and I'm looking to upgrade to a 75-90 gal. just trying to find a tank at a decent price.
Hey it's been quiet a while since i've stopped by here, anyways did you end up getting another oscar and what happened to your other fish such as the parrot etc...?
@dreamerguy91 yes i got a new oscar since the albino tiger oscar i had died due to the pleco incident which i think you may know about, but correct me if im wrong. but anyway yes after that oscar died, i kept african malawi cichlids for a few months but i missed the american cichlids so much...esspecially i missed having an oscar, so i changed the tank again and got this oscar when he was just 1.5 inches
@BingX14 Yeah i was quiet aware of your old oscar's accident, but gotta agree with you because SA cichlid do got something special in them which makes lots of people like me. I've recently got another JD (i finally got a male) so hopefully i'll try to get him to pair off with my female once the male gets bigger. But yeah i'm wondering do you prefer Tiger Oscars or the Albino Oscars? since you had both i'm curious to know.
@dreamerguy91 thats awesome, goodluck with the jacks! and honestly after having both i think i tend to like the normal tiger oscar's coloration a bit more than the albino's just because of the awesome contrast of the really bright orange on the really dark grayish black. i feel like the orange stands out quite a lot more in the regular tiger oscars instead of the albinos...but i think the albino's are very cool in their own right, so id say its all personal preference.I love your albino tiger!
@BingX14 Hey there im alsoa big fan of oscars and different cichilids(checkout my vids)i also got my oscars at around an inch and they are about 9-10 in now! Always wanted a JD but just dont have the space and would have to get rid of an oscar. If i had to get rid of one though it would be the albino one. Love the red one way too much to give it up although the albino and lemon(correct me if im wrong!)are the to which seemed to have paired of
I was wondering what you feed them besides hikari gold pellets? I feed mine hikari gold pellets, omega one super color flakes, and frozen brine shrimp. Any suggestions on what else would be good to add.
@JulianROwen well i also feed New Life Spectrum large fish formula pellets, Hikari frozen bloodworms & freeze dried bloodworms, Frozen brine shrimp, and sometimes live treats like crickets (esspecially for the oscar)
