fatpuffer

My con pair was digging and cleaning a pit, not they are cleaning and digging another pit...what is going on? why two pits? Thanks...JS

I just recently bought a pink convict (F) apprx. 1 inch. Once I put her in the tank, she immediately asserted her dominance putting the bronze puffer in his place. Right away she found my parrot cichlid w/c is apprx. 2 her size (fatter) and now whe would not leave his side...her colour is much brighter and her belly more vibrant...the parrot would bump her but she would not budge... I am starting to like these cons...very nice fish... JS

How big is your tank? That fahaka will require at least 90 gallon...what kind of channa is that? js

Happy New Year folks! Hope y'all have a prosperous 2005!!!! JS

Exactly that...what is it...a mix of pink and striped? JS

I was wondering if cichlids such as cons and firemouths would mate if there is a huge size differences...ie male is 3 inches and female is 1 inch... Just curious...my cons are relatively similar is size but i have seen some cons with huge size differences... JS

SO when to we start the raffle????

I am not sure...I thought that it may just separate from the water since it is oil... I found some gum arabic online but will have to wait...money is pretty tight right now.

well, melaleuca is the same as tea tree oil.... pimafix is west indie bay oil...I have been trying to find an emmulsifier to make it more soluble and i found gum arabic powder to do the job... HAVE NOT TRIED IT YET THOUGH...arabic powder is used in soap making so water and oil do not separate!!! JS P.S. I use the pond version of melafix (5%) and use 5ml per 50 gallon...I also use pond version of water conditioner...same thing...I put less cuz it is stronger.

Anybody know if they are available in the market? How much do they cost? Are they compatible with C. Bleheri? Thanks folks! JS

Chum's has couple of ornates for 25.00...I was so tempted but opted for two rainbow SH...with my luck they are both males...but its okay...I will just try again! JS

That's too bad that they are banned over there. Just picked up two of the bleheri's from chums and they are stunning. Andrea/Nazim: colours are now more vibrant...they ate one minnow after i opened the bag yesterday! I opened it and droped a minnow and they ate it. I am now feeding them fish fillets and shrimps. They are with my baby senegalus (3.5 inches ) and they seem to get along fine. Thanks for the fish!

I learn something new everyday!

I was in another forum and a guy was talking about cons having teeth? Do cichlids have teeth...? I am new to it so I was just curious. JS

around 20 gallon...and no tank mate

What's a good colourful cichlid...I heard 'Cichlasoma' salvini is nice and bright, but anybody know any bright ones...significant others want to have "brighter, colourful" fish. JS

What can be housed with rainbow SH???? any cichlids???? JS

That does sound pretty fair...anything fish related profile or experience. Something that shows members signing in and using and forum.

I agree with random raffle for those who frequent the site...maybe a minimum time of log in or something... THanks TY for the fry! JS

How big do bleheris get...min size tank required? Thanks! JS

To everybody: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Enjoy your holiday break. I will be going home so I may not be able to use the net for a while. Unless I am patient enough to use dial-up! Thanks to everybody for all your help and advise. Learned a lot in this forum. Keep it fun! JS

Yes I do...if someone is willing to buy them...go ahead and sell it to them...I dont mind the little runts...I love growing them out myself...how big do they get? Edit: I just researched the yellow electric cichlid and they seems to be very interesting species. I'm excited now and cant wait to take them home. Thanx again Ty...this is awesome... JS

We would be going back to red deer on the 29 30th...do you think they would be okay then?! Thanks!!! JS

I am living in RD but will be going home for the holidays...do ya thing they would be okay? Is it free or how much is it...? Thanks...JS

I was the closest one so do I get the fry?
