For rare cichlids in the Wild all of the victorians are probably at the top of the list as many are endangered. It is also tough to get your hands on wild vic's but Patrick seems to have a nice collection of vics.

that is a beautiful area of ontario. top notch. they are definatley more diverse aswell. good luck :thumbs:

had that same problem and ended up catching my inspector pleco (Carniverous) eating a fish while still alive.

well thanks for all the help guys i`ll try it out and see what happens

Hey, i found a small rack of deer antlers and i looked at them and thought the would make a cool structure in an aquarium. my question is do you think the antlers would bring in any sort of disease or effect the chemistry of the water. if they wouldn't what do you suggest for cleaning? Thanks :smokey:

what i do is get boiling hot water and drop the worms is they die quick and then i can cut them up. all my fish love them

it first matters how big they are are because it takes a long time to get them to sexual maturity but for the shell they need to be big enough for the female but small enough to keep the larger male out. it helps if you get a bunch and once the female makes a prefrence remove some of the extras. i have had my female comp. using a shell like this but hers is larger: http://xahlee.org/xamsi_calku/blabi2/blabi2.html

have had multiple bn in my all male tank without any problems. YOu need to make sufficient hiding places that the pleco will fit in and the haps not. also it's not the fish picking out the eyes. when they become stresed their eyes will sink it to their head so i'm guessing this is what happened to the one that jumped out. good luck though

i tie a piece of cloth to a piece of fishing line and wash the line down the tube until it pokes out of the other side then just pull the cloth through

i've had fish spit some of their eggs and they've never picked them up and they won't survive without the tumbling thats usually done by the mother

you'll be rewarded for growing out that maisoni. they are really beautiful
