Nice fish, dogg. I am trying to talk Patty into fixing a 55 for americans. Not sure what all I could put in a 55. Got a little info. from Nathan and he quit on me. I can't get any details from him. Need to get more info, before I do anything.

Dan Noon

nice lookin.

Roger Hopper

Dan, do you do americans or both?

Roger count with some convicts from my part lol!! NICE FIREMOUTH DOGG

upps for got the smillies

In my experience it is very hard to do Americans in a 55 unless you go with non aggressive spiecies like earth eaters & severums or just put a pair of whatever in to breed. If you don't then you usualy end up with one dominating fish and the rest will be in the corners scared to move and attract the aggresers attention because there is nowhere to get away from him. It dosen't make for a very interesting tank and the stressed fish suffer. At least this has been my experience.

Roger Hopper

Juan, I already have cons, want something else.

hey Roger maybe some FM and Severums would do good on 55

Roger Hopper

TY Juan, I will concider those as well.

Dan Noon

Roger, my american tank is by far the most entertaining. i have jd, gt, tex and cons. they are in a 50 gallon growout but will move to a 125 in feb. they get along well for now.

wellcome to the dark side roger. started with africans, got one american and never looked back.

Roger Hopper

They won't replace my Africans, but interesting. More for a tank for Patty than me!

kyle jackson

trust me the more time you spend with them, the more time you gunna start to look for a bigger tank. i started with a 30. as my boys started to grow just got bigger tanks to keep up. but i love 'em.

Roger Hopper

I'll see what she does with it.

kyle jackson

just saying they grow on ya. if you look hard at some of my pix you can still see my last african hideing in the back ground.
