Cannot thank you enough. I genuinely thought there was no solution after 5 months searching frantically until I somehow cameacross this. Great Work!!!!

nice tank… I’m pretty new at this hobby… I currently own a 26G tank and Have 7 Tigers in there.. (4 regular, 3 green) of those only 2 are males (regular). at first i only had 1 male… as I didnt know the difference and well it was hell in that tank. The fighting between them was horrible. (well correction the male kept picking on all the females)

after adding the 2nd male the tank is much better… I also have a rafael (talking) catfish in there… but mostly hides in a cave and only comes out at night…

I also have a red tail shark, which doesnt put up with the tigers s#$%! He mostly hides in the cave with the catfish, comes out from time to time to chase a tiger barb for kicks…

lastly, i have a algae eater… not sure the name but its one of those pale orange ones… I believe they grow to be 8 inches big… he is pretty aggressive and does well with the tigers… usually he pushes them away from his spots (caves and food)

so far they are all doing great… i love my tigers but i feel the same as you… petstore should of done a better job explaining the cons of having tigers… they do nip at each other… and thank god for the second male or 2 of my females would of been dead by know.

anyway, nice site… lots of info… love the videos…

PS: there is a vid of my thank on youtube here is the link

This is a whiz-bang fix man. And it’s almost four years you rolled this fix out. Not getting a sound from your Laptop could send one into a depression as you frustratingly stare at the thing like a stone. You saved another soul.

Another thanks from Singapore.

Well… I went ahead and did it… and this is a BUSY tank! Went with opaline gourami instead of pearl and everyone is getting along fine… with the exception of one shy opaline that hides out all the time, but I suprisingly blame that on its opaline mate and not the tigers!!! After years of staying away from tigers because of bad experiences from their aggression I think they are becoming my favorite fish!! Love the way you approached the behaviors of Tigers…. keep it up!!

I am glad you are providing a historic set of cars and tracks. If I could only have one era and type of racing, it would be F1 in 1967. And yes, I still have GPL installed on my PC…since 1998.

That era requires more driving skill than others,and that is what makes it so interesting… it truly is all about driver skills, and not technology. It is the driving experience that makes this hobby so interesting..and the immersion in realistic settings.

I will be buying a life time license for rF2 after you have had a chance to work out most of the bugs during beta testing.. Looking forward to it,thanks for producing such a great racing sim…. Mike

Stupid question…. Safe to add 2 pearl gourami to tank with 5 Zebra Danio, 4 Red Serpae Tetra, 2 Cordy…. 9 Tigers? 35 gal Hex

I’d love to see cars and tracks from the 30s. Auto Union, Alfa Romeo, Maserati, and tracks like Bremgarten, Avus, Mount Panorama, Monza, Reims.

With a massive filter like that (on a 29 gallon), you’re really overfiltering and can have a higher stock as long as aggression isn’t a problem (which it can be in smaller environments). I always over-filter. My smallest tank now is a 55 gallon and I have a 400 gallon-capable filter on it.

You are 100% correct that the tracks are a very important thing.

rF2 brought back the sim-fire inside of me.
All I want now is some more historical tracks. Having some licensed historic F cars would also be nice but not really needed.

All the modern cars and tracks don’t interest me one little bit so you guys can completely focus on the historic side :)

Great info thank you. This is funny to me tho because my primary stock is Tigers (13) Red Serpeas (15) and Giant Danios (5). Is that too many in a 29 gal tank run by a fluval 405 cannister? It’s been running for a couple months now and I haven’t lost any of them yet. I do a 30-50% water change every three weeks or so.
