So, I picked a helluva hobby considering how impatient I am.

Drained just over half the water out of the 90 gallon. Transferred all of the water out of the 55 into the 90. Took the old filter and the new filter and have them both running in the 90. Moved the O's and everything seems to be running fine. Feeding my O's pellets twice a day. The only thing I'm noticing, and it's not really anything concerning me, is that one of my O's is more aggressive towards the other one. When feeding, the one O will chase the other one away from the food. The smaller of the 2 hides in the boat (I have a sunken ship ornament that is hollow with holes around the sides) while the other one swims around. They don't do this all of the time but most of the time they do. I'm planning on doing a water change here in another week or 2 and planning on moving one of the filters back to my 55. Just wanted both of them to run in the 90 for 3-4 weeks.

Not really a question. Just more of an update. I will try to post pictures when I can.

Sounds like a territory issue... Figuring out pecking order.. You can try and give it a bit and se if they work it out!

But I agree, I want pics.

My smaller oscar is varocious at feeding time and will push the big red away everytime. Now i just throw in a handfull at once to make sure the big one gets enough...
My red will eat maybe 10 pellets, the tiger will engulp 30 or more without chewing.
I guess he wants to grow badly, for he's pooping good and not getting fat, just growing fast lenghtwise.
and yeah, x4 on the pics, in thought they would be in the thread allready!

That's the tank.



Tank again.



That's Dexter.



Can't see him but Finley's in there.



This would be Les Claypool.



And that would be Tim Herb Alexander.

Nice looking tank man! One of my os is dominant over the other one. Every now and then the dominant one will nip at the other but 99% of the time they okay. Just keep an eye on the less aggressive one to make sure he doesnt get a serious injury and you will be fine. Sometimes it can take a while but they will work it out
I have no idea why the water bill is so high

Yea, Les and Herb are the 2 plecos. Les I've had for about 4 1/2 years now. He was in my 55 with the Dempseys I used to have. Herb I've had for about 3 years.
