Sand is in, and my FISH ARE COVERED IN SAND!!!![/img]

I tryed to let the sand settle for 45 min befor eI turned the filters back on. I have a HOB Canister and a HOB Penguin 350 Im hoping my penguin wont get gunked up bit its already making noises.

LOL... Make sure you clean the sand out of your filters... They will burn up.

Your O's look so cute!

Yeah I might be giving them up. I just really want to breed JD's and I cant afford another tank at this time. I know this sounds horrible but I would ratehr have a tiger and a albino tiger then 2 reds (the fish came with the tank). I cant wait for the water to clear so you all can see my new 10" Male JD he is AMAZING!!

Also I put the fine filter in my canister so hopefully that will speed on the declouding process.

Give it some time they may grow on you. They do look really cute with those greenish heads.

I like JD's too. They're color is amazing. I may set a species tank up later this year or next.

I saw this JD and I had to have it Im a HUGE JD fan. I really do like the O's but im not down for the 3-4 W/C a week!

How big is your tank? and your filters? How old (size) are your fish?

2x 6.5" Red Oscars
1x Male JD 10.5"
1x 7.5" Female JD
1x 4.5" Green Terror
1x 14" Pleco

90 Gal Tank
1 Penguin 350
1 HOB Magnum Canister.

That being said I am getting a Fluval 405, and I am not opposed to getting a Emperor 400. I am a plumber so I have rigged up a system that I can litterally do a 30 Gal water change in 20 min, so 2-3 WC a week is not that big of a deal.

EDIT: I lied it just took me 9 Min. for a 30 Gal water change. =P

Yeah you really need a bigger tank, but I understand the money thing too... Good luck...

Ill try and see how now the nitrates stack up but the thing Im worried about is when the JDs mate I will have to put the other fish in a differnt tank and I just dont have the setup to do that.

On a lighter note my pleco appears to love (or hate) the sand he is proceeding to thrash backwards then brun out forward. Im pretty sure hes move 1/2 the sand already, and were only 1 1/2 hours in!
