wow that is legit! I really dig the simplicity of it. May need to study your wet/dry setup as I plan to drop a HOB and add another wet/dry. that system looks simple yet highly effective. Well done!

Don't tell madness that lol. He hates them. :cry:

Re: 210 Gallon Tank

Oscars are just so common that a lot of people dont even give them a second look.

Re: 210 Gallon Tank

Did you take the time to measure your fish when you moved them?

That pleco is huge! And he is only going to get bigger.... :affraid:

Re: 210 Gallon Tank

Nope I didn't measure the fish but it's weird how they appear so much bigger when they are out of the water. I think the pleco is about 11 inches long. The albino oscar is the biggest at about 10.

I wanted to add a canister filter but was told it wasn't needed. I would add a hob but the tank is about 2 inches from the wall. Each wet/dry I have are for tanks up to 300 gallons.

Re: 210 Gallon Tank

Does anybody have any ideas for tankmates? I don't want fighting. I was thinking maybe a convict. They might clean up the food that the oscar's spit out.

Re: 210 Gallon Tank

I'm thinking the pleco needs to go. The bio load is insane.

Hes a big boy and it sound like you kind of made up your mind on him already. Even free he may be hard to get rid of.

As for tankmates... there are a ton of choices. A convict would work out fine, other cichlids, schooling fish, catfish. What are you interested in?

Re: 210 Gallon Tank

If I got rid of him I would take him to cayes. I'm not to sure yet. He's part of the family. I do like cichlids and plan on getting more. If I got rid of the pleco I would get a catfish or another smaller pleco like what you have.

My L014 that I got from Zerc is absolutely beautiful but a total hider, you never see it. They dont get too large in comparison to your common.

Re: 210 Gallon Tank

I say dump the Oscars and get 5 to 8 fish around 2-3" and watch them grow. Then you can add a couple cool looking plecos, and some cool looking loaches. Even a Poly or 2.

Yes madness I know you hate oscars. They were babies when I got them and still are. They have grown up fast.

I dont hate them, I just think that there are far better fish out there to look at. Far better fish out there for the personality, and a boat load of fish out there that arent so dirty.

Thats all.
