ooh. how long did he last?

Hows it going?

Tanks size is your problem A 75 is ideally minimum for an oscar and one unobtrusive friend You need a big tank for a clown knife (6x3x2) (fish gets 2 feet+) and a massive coldwatter pond for a channel cat (4 foot fish)

It's best if it's possible to let the female regain her health for about three days before carefully adding them to the main tank. I might be having the same sort of problem now so will watch this

Are we supposed to change these about yearly? I have absulutely no idea what I've got came used with the tank, but it more blue then anything else gives some of the rocks a nice near blacklight glow if there isn't any algae on them.

Thanks rahim but no, I do have one of those though this is the third picture from the top if your intrested

Hey, riverfront calls the fish you guys call an esthare a pseudotropheus flametail mozambique Mozambique seems to be a part of the lake but i'm not getting any flametail mbuna's, wayne did say it was a pseudotropheus though any other thoughts? The other one is indeed a whitetailed acie, I bought him somemore females, so he's doing great thanks for the help

Hey I don't know anything either, but it would be intresting to see what you trying give us all the details, equipment, size, decor, tank chemistry. I'm not a puffer nut, but I am planning a gsp tank and considered trying the fugu since they look healthy at riverfront definately a challenge though I've looked arounf this forum, heres a thread that might be useful, heck maybe you've already seen it but http://www.thepufferforum.org/viewtopic.php?t=290

What's your setup like? they did look in good shape at riverfront

Here is the caillanous pic fo show

If they exist that might be it I thought I heard afra I got a little confused I'm always a little rushed in lfs

Yep, it think your right both ways, the esthare was Identified as so on another site and the polit is the wrong pic I have a polit pic somewhere does the last fish look like a nyassa peacock?

Thanks ABwilderose I think the rocks will look better later it's still quite new and needs an even coat of algae

Tank 90 gallons Caeruleus and callainous, the only nice yellows are the three from golds, the one with the vertical baring is from pisces and the almosted bloated looking ones with horizontal stripe if you can tell from pics are from riverfront Closer pic of a nicer Yellow, and an unknown cichlid from riverfont Polit, these are neat fish Afra and demasoni Albino socofoli and my favorite the male lombardoi Unknown Fish from Golds Supose that's enough for now I have more if yah want em but would apreciate ID's on the two unknowns to please, all comments welcomed EDIT-> pics look horrible at this size

I did a big watter change monday, and my P. elongatus looked like it was dead, I thought maybe the watter was a little cold i checked and it wasn't too bad she literaly went on her side for about 20 minutes and eventually started swimming around a little, back to normal by the end of the day. The other fish were fine but the filling hose was in her half(divided tank 3 mbuna). anyways maybe this had something to do with you should all be carefull On the Ph thing my understanding was that a quick change was the problem but you can actually keep fish in much lower or higher ph as long as it is stable for example with africans 7.2 should be fine even though 8 is recomended-

If they are subpar I would jsut keep them But riverfront seems to take almost anything, I just gave them all my agresion victims(extra males and the odd outnumbered female) because I'm in the process of restocking the tank against agresion, they took seven less then top fish for 20 dollars, I bought them there at sixteen a piece

I've got none, only have one tank that really gets algaes(because it faces a window and gets sunlight and tanklight almost all day). I hear they poop alot :poo: . Don't seem too active. -but figure I'll have to try one someday in years to come

I had a cousin who kept some rainbows in saskethchewan, they are really neat fish, he picked up four and grew to about fourinches in a ten-15gallon(obviously not the best conditions, maybe the worst) but really neat fish - very fast and go crazy for any food put in the tank

I'm intrested but don't know... Mine is kept below the water pointing upwards about 45degrees, so the watter bulges up nearly an inch, I figure if this is wrong the aquaclear can make up for it

No against the window I didn't need to use the flash which always reflected back to the camera, I took it back, decided that since I have have had two females two males and two sets of fry, I'm expert enough, anyways riverfront was fine about it didn't question me it all worked out good but I'm still looking for some female lombardoi if someone has em in plus size, three-four inches Thanks anyways

Well the one from riverfront has six to eight stripes how you count them my other one has five to six

Riverfront says it's a kennyi but I brought it home and it definately doesn't look like mine, too many stripes I think anyways, heres some picks if someone can clear this up quick it'll go right back today, thanks

Thanks everyone still haven't done anything yet have to move goldfish fry out of the tank, but... I'm planning a green spotted puffer tank maybe figure eight so it's a possible brackish to full marine idea,and I heard this may not be a good idea(?) is silica sand ok in a fish only marine tank or FOWLR?

thanks, but I'm not going to do it, I was just sure I read it in an aquarium book frorm the libary last year and thought it would be a great idea for my next tank, seems I've gotten something wrong- and I was just thinking something cheap simple, but thanks again

Is it safe to do a watter change now? I'm thinking it's legal too but maybe correct me if I'm off... I'm in the northwest and was out of town for the last few days, my father is saying that the watter treatment facilities are overloaded or something and were suposed to be careful with the watter?
