[myPs3RuLeZ123]

[TDWP1804]

@myPs3RuLeZ123 get rid of your black convict lol simple as that im getting rid of mine but i have over 100+ witht he breeding pair..

[jacksonjones402]

so wht about 2ebjd jacks 1 red devil 1 red tiger motaguense 2 salvani 1 cuban would this work

[belxavier420]

@jacksonjones402 Do not put ebjd with the fish you mentioned they will get killed. They are weaker and less aggressive then normal jds. Without the ebjd you will probably be ok for a while with that list.

[jacksonjones402]

hey i was hoping maybe u could help me im geting a 90 gallon tank in like 2weeks i had a couple fish in mind but i didnt know if they all would fit the ones i have in mind are red devil cichlid midas cichlid texas cichlid jack dempsey and electric blue jack dempsey salvani cichlid and a red tiger motaguense cichlid cuban cichlid in maybe a silver arowan pls im looking for feed back im kinda new to cichlids please and thank u

First off, I think you may be over estimating the size of a 90 gallon tank. With that list, you would most likely be OK with the biological load (minus the arowana) however, each fish does need enough room for physical space as well.

Red devils/midas tend to be very aggressive and require more space, mixing these with other aggresive cichlid species could be bad (jack dempsey) as they'll both be fighting over limited real estate constantly. There also simply isn't enough room for an arowana.

sick tank man how long does it take to clean?

[bbs209]

Yes you can add crab into cichlids tank, As long as your crab is 2 inch and your cichldis are 5 inches and less. They will not get eaten.

[awinski999]

what kind of loach is that?

[andyoybna]

@awinski999

I had two yoyo botias, and a red tail botia.

[gdubale]

can you add a crab to a african cichlid tank??

[Gage727]

hell no, africans will rip em to pieces

[bartg41]

That is a cool tank. Does the Dempsey bother the tetras at all?

[justpgraham]

Exellent setup and fish

[justpgraham]

Great mix of fish tank looks excellent

[nmb987]

looks almost like two diff tanks with the lights niice tank !

[Leg3ndFlip23]

nice algae growth.

[drkingslend]

I love dempseys, theyre central american, bumer, but still a nice setup, personally Id love to get a tank your size for green terrors and oscars

[CichlidWonder]

my jack looks almost like yours, is it a male or female? cool setup

[andyoybna]

@CichlidWonder There are two jacks, the female is smaller, the male is larger and more blue/vibrant colored than the female.

[Ylofen]

very nice tank, it looks like u have a balance in the aquarium, nice work man,

[wtfyourdumb]

kyle3541 you are a pretty ignorant kid arent you? Thats good algea dumb ass, very established tank. gj

[kyle3541]

hey the thing i am worried about in this tank is the algae growth on the back adn the filter. do you have a com. pleco or anything. and if you dont want to get one your going to have to keep the light off longer keep the light on only about 6 hours 7 hours at max that will delay algae for a while

[0thingthing0]

algae is good it puts more oxygen into the water the only reason people think its bad is because it grows on the glass and plants.

[itsadoozie81]

It is good in moderate amounts like in this aquarium but if there is too much it will do the opposite and will take away oxygen.

[kontolgoreng82]

i see a barbus tetrazona?isnt really american huh;)

[locosaltwaterman]

Cool tank. Are those black tetras in their? And do the Dempseys bother them?

[starrett1350]

regularly the depseys would eat the blakck skirted tetras

[carpcrew123]

nice fish m8 like the jack dempseys

[batterballz1]

nice. I thought severums were more peaceful than dempseys. Check out my vids please:)

[TheDarkToad]

Actually you are half right but wrong th3pl3b Jack Dempseys aren't native to North America You may have gotten confused with "Texas Cichlids" which are very similar to Jack Dempseys!!! LOL

[RAmenFSM]

central America could be considered part of north America...

[th3pl3b]

not south america lol jack dempseys north america and mexico and tiger barbs from asia lol sorry got it wrong

[th3pl3b]

sweet dude
