Are they really that big or is it more of a territory thing? I thought they only got to 4".

63G (240l) 120x40x50cm (48x16x20")

As in title. If I kept a group of around 8 keyholes with 12 bronze cories in a pretty heavily planted tank, would they venture out into the open even without dither fish?

Here's a website I found. From what I've read there, an oscar, green terror or Texas cichlid would do fine in a 75.

I love their colours! Unfortunately Laetacara don't seem to be very common around where I live - I've found none, in fact. Good to know rainbow cichlids and festivums don't work with plants. I've never seen them in a planted tank and assumed they'd be fine. Would've been an absolute massacre...

It's: Metric: 240l 120x40x50cm Imperial: 63G 48x16x20" Sort of planted - my dwarf sag, crypts and amazon sword haven't exactly taken off. That said, the bottom is around 70% covered by plants. I should have quite a large-ish choice of species due to its size, no? Leaning towards cichlids but...

To be honest any place will do. Dunno why I put SA in there in the first place haha. Wouldn't keyholes be shy if kept without dithers (planning on a group of at least 8 if that's the case)?

Sadly, it appears as though my angelfish passed away :( He was loveable but also a sensitive PITA sometimes, so I'd rather not repeat the experience. Do you guys know any hardy medium-sized (4" or larger) SA cichlids that would feel good in a group and go with bronze cories, a BN pleco and...

Update: I've noticed he (appears to be a he) seems to have his tubes out for some reason, even though there are no other angels in my tank - but I think it may be poop, since it's only about the size of 1/3 a grain of rice. Then again I've checked what a male's tubes look like, and they're...

How many more would I have to add to balance out the aggression?

Hi folks, My angelfish has always twitched its dorsal fin and been a little territorial to the mollies and rainbows it lives with, but things have become worse during/after my holiday. It now twitches almost constantly and (if another fish moves to within 1 foot of it) tilts itself diagonally...

Just peeling - looks like a reptile's shed skin.

Tank What is the water volume of the tank? 240l/63G How long has the tank been running? 2.5yrs Does it have a filter? Yes, SunSun HW-304B canister Does it have a heater? Yes, 200W What is the water temperature? 24 degrees Celsius What is the entire stocking of this tank? (Please list all fish...

Sorry in advance for my rambling. In a miraculous display of the maturity all kids crave, my 9-year-old (yes, 9!) sister decided it would be funny to put sponge cake into the aquarium today - and it's not the 1st time either. I kid you not, she dumped probably a whole (small) piece into the tank...

Maybe something a bit more common? I can't find it anywhere. Thanks, but I have those already and want to plant a bare place without hardscape.
