    Need very good homes for my BABY'S 

    I have:3 [med] jelly bean parrots

    4 [large] jack dempseys [1 male,3 females]

    2[large] tin foil barbs

    1[small] convict

    1[stubbern] mickey mouse platty[female]

    I would like to keep tabs on how there doing as well??

    For i really LOVE my BABY'S 

    I will be moving soon,just don't know when??

  2. I agree with wandj. the bulk beneficial bacteria will colonize in your sustrate and filter within the sponge.

    Large and frequent water changes should not disturb the bacteria colonies.

    Just be sure you are treating the new water with some type of treatment to remove chlorine.

  3. First off.....remove the carbon right away as it will clean any meds that you are putting into the right out!!!!!

    With out having seen the tank, all I could recommend is to get a "general cure" OR "metrodonzale" from the pet store and treat the tank with that ASAP...

    Just follow the instructions on the back of the meds and treat accorningly.

    I would also do about a 50% water change and add in more salt then what you adding right now!!!

    I hope this help stop the fish from dying.

    Please post back with any further update

  4. Lots of fish with lots of color...... MBUNA is the way to go.

    Looks like you have about a 37 gallon tank. I'd say that's too small for haps or peacocks.

    I would go with:

    One of the following in groups of 7-8 (2 males rest females):

    - Ps. Salousi

    - Ps. Msobo deep magunga

    - Met. estere blue/red (red zebra's)

    Any of the the above will give you blue and red (orange)

    Then add a group of 7-8 electric yellows

  5. to my understanding, these guys do take longer then your regular haps to come to breeding age.

    They might just not be ready to breed yet.

    Diet also can be a factor.

    I'd feed them some frozen blood worms OR bfrozen brine Shrimp OR frozen mysis 1-3 times per week in small quantities. The extra protien will help the female in egg production. Also, some good size water changes with the addition of slightly cooler water may trigger spawning as it will simulate the changing of the seasons.

    Also, how long have they been in thier new tank by themselves???

    They may take 4-6 weeks to become acustomed to thier new home and become comfortable enough to breed!!!!!

    Hope that help a little
