Looking good how big are the GT's

[Jamil]

Cheers mate, they are 6-8cm but monstr red devil keepr told me they are small for their age because the guy he bought them off had about 80 in a 2ft tank.

Got a new fish today, It's a Tiger Red Oscar, looks awesome.

Tank looks fantastic mate would you like some limestone pieces for it too? i have some cool bits here for ya Your Oscar looks like he has a good little personality

[Jamil]

Thanks mate, Yeah I'd love some limestone for it, that would be awesome I'm loving my oscar It chills around the tanks near the filter on using it's front fins to swim then when a other fish comes close it swims away, It's pretty cool to watch

[Bowdy]

You would be a lot beter off with more wood or river stones as they won't buffer your ph limestone will push the ph up. a couple big pebbles would look great with the wood you have.
Tanks looking good man.

[Jamil]

Oh ok, Would limestone go good in my tank with my red empresses though? and I'll ask my parents to take me to get some river stones from Woodvale fish and lily farm and Cheers mate

[Bowdy]

They would be great for red emp's.
If your ever down this way il give you some rocks for the 6ft.

[Jamil]

Cheers mate, I'll let you know if i come down your area, Cheers Jamil.

You should be able to find limestone in a lot of places around Perth. Usually I just go for a walk and pick pieces up.

[Bowdy]

How's the tank going mate. Any updates.

[Jamil]

tanks going good yeah, I have a polystigma breeding trio in there and i have a beanschi peacock colony in the shed but i don't think the polystigma's are really for me, I think i might buy a few cichla monoculus fry and grow them to about 8-10cm in the 6ft then move them to a 6x2x2 or something, what do you think? Cheers Jamil.

[hitman]

ahh lol the fish you got off monster red devil keeper were mine unfortualy the male from which the gts came fom has passed away and i sold the female to a mate
good luck they should be breeding at that size by know so maybe 2 males of both females
i kept some from my second batch they ate 4 cm for female and 6 cm for male and they are breeding
