240 Gallon South American Cichlid Rescue Tank

This work in progress will some day be my primary display tank. Currently houses several Cichlid rescues. Forgot to mention I do 50% water changes twice a week and struggle to keep nitrates lower than 20ppm. If you want to see a different vid of the same tank check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIxRkgGGDYU

Nice fish, your tanks look nice and clean. Do you know how to tell the difference between a male and female oscar

[killakalilolo]

@SuperSpikedup I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure you cant tell until they breed.

[NorthwoodTimberwolve]

What do you mean "rescue tank"? People don't want them anymore and give them to you, or they're sick or beat up in another tank you own and you've removed them?

[killakalilolo]

@NorthwoodTimberwolve All the fish in this tank were from other people who didn't want them any more.

It just so happens that most of them came with a preexisting condition.

[killakalilolo]

@fitbikerider459 I think the pleco was about 15'' long.

[MrBan13]

rescue fish wtf. I would understand rescueing a cat or dog but not a fish. those fish are tore up i would flush them or throw them in a lake...That tank gots lot of potential with different fish that are not so beat up, it is a nice big tank!!!
