Schweet!
Do you have pictures of them?
I'd want to id them before I throw them in my tank.
What are your current water readings? (ammonia,nitrate, nitrites,etc.)

Need to make sure they will actually live in my tank and not just sentencing them to death...

I have no idea what my current readings are. I had PetCo. test the water and they said it was fine. I can take a picture later tonight for ya.

Ok Joe here are my fish

This is one of the gold severum he is very friendly and will only pestor other fish if they pestor him. The two Bolivian rams love to pestor him.

Here is his smaller female (I hope) partner.

The angles I have I got when they where only the size of a quarter and now they are about the size of the palm of your hand.

Here is my sons small 10 gallon tank.

Sorry about the crappy pic I need to figure out the settings on my camera. There are four fish in this tank two betta and two angles (very small about the size of a quarter.

This is my 30 gallon cichlid tank.

And yes I made the cave out of PVC.

Feel free to ask about my set ups.

Very nice set ups Nate!
Taking fish pictures can be a PITA if they are feisty!

 

[JustROLLIN]

Well I got my new tank all setup last night. Big thanks to Nate for all the help! And to anyone who is looking, the guys at WorldOfish are incredible!

I ended up going with an assorment of fish, new plants, and some addtional driftwood.

Well Joe and I met at the Wold of Fish last night. They have a huge selection and very knowladgeable people working there. I think Joe got sick of us talk fish so much.

Joe made some good choices and i think he will be heppy with what he got. Joe post up a pick or two when you get a chance.

wow we posted at the same time

 

[JustROLLIN]

Yeah, I will Nate... And btw, you were right about the rock/cloud in the tank. Everything turned out just fine. The fish seemed happy swimming about in the plants and what not. I will have to change my filter tonight when I get home though. Thanks again!

 

[WhiteSpy9]

What kind of fish did you go with?

 

[JustROLLIN]

1 - Beta
1 - Rainbow Shark
1 - Puffer Fish
2 - German Rams
1- Plecostimus - Algae eater

 

[WhiteSpy9]

A dwarf puffer?

I bought....

[JustROLLIN]

I dunno...lol... Maybe Nate can answer that. Its a very small puffer that has a yellowish tint to it.

 

[WhiteSpy9]

Dwarf puffers are the only freshwater puffers I know of.....
I'd be concerned placing them in a tank w/ anything other than their own species.
I know they don't look the part, but they are some badass little guys and have destroyed anything I placed in a tank w/ them.
You did buy them from a reputable LFS, so maybe they are a more passive breed.

Hmmm....that does worry me. But, the level of expertise they displayed to me, I think I should be ok. Those people at WoF really knew their business. The guy I dealt with last night had 11 tanks and 4 ponds of his own.

Thanks for the heads up though, I will definitely keep my eyes peeled for any issues.

 

[Big Nate]

I think everything will be fine with the dwarf puffer. He is so small and the betta will keep him in line. also all the fish you got will hold there own when it comes to a fight.

 

[Big Nate]

Here is a vid of my fish. It was taken with my still camera.

 

[WhiteSpy9]

thread revival ftw!!!!!!! I re-did my tank and got new fish... check it out!

 

[spek1098]

Have to give ya props on that setup, looks good.

 

[StealthSpeed3]

i'll post some shots of my stepmom's 29 gal she has set up. 3 mollies, a Ting, Clownfish, something that looks like a pirahna, a Bala shark, the angel seems to have disappeared, and an eel.

and it looks like the mollie had a baby..last time she had about 7 and 2 survived. hopefully this little frye will make it

 

[JustROLLIN]

I still have my tank, its a 22gal with a basic setup... some live plants and rocks and what not. But, the fish I have are the really cheap ones.. A world of fish gave me these since the expensive ones I bought all died. I really want to go back get some nicer fish again, but I am scared they will die or eat each other again.

[Big Nate]

The fish that looks like a piranha is a red belly pacu. Very similar only no teeth. That thing will get way too big for that tank. So be careful what if anything else is put in with it. As for Mollies I didn't see any in the pics you posted. The ones that are about the size of quarters are called tetra and they look like albino or the dreaded dyed strawberry/blueberry tetra.

I have three tanks. One has a mix of fish. The 60 gallon tank has 2 Bolivian rams, 2 angelfish, 5 black tetra, one minnow thing that I got for free when I swam into the bag at the fish store, a large placostomus and 2 gold severems. I have a 30 gallon with two flag cichlids and last a 20 gallon with one mixed African cichlid. I had four mixed in the 30 gallon but the damn thing didn’t stop eating each other and then the last one left died.
