shaunpauls7 131 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 I have a small aquarium with red tiger Oscars.My tank is only 3ft in length with bog wood to try and imitate there nature environment as they come from the Amazon river basin.Don't take much to make up a tropical set up.I have two fluval filters and heater.Read up on the species of fish you are wanting to keep as i had a couple of small tetra's in with the Oscars witch became dinner for them. http://www.justtropicalfish.com/ http://www.freshwate...pical-fish.html Atb shaun Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 31,498 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Dont know how to put pictures up but been keeping Discus a lot of years now................your be best to base your tank on what type of fish your looking to keep.....species tank or community..,,if your having real plants or fake.....compatability,water conditions,equipment etc etc.....

Rake aboot 4,936 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 I keep Malawi Ciclihds, but they are a fekin demolition crew, waste of time setting up the tank to look nice as they destroy and move anythin in it. I have massive rock in it, but they just bury into the sand substrate till it falls over, They are also violent, so can be noisy at night while they beat the shit out of each other, and they eat a lot. Pain in the arse really, but stunning to watch 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
