The red tail sheller is a lake victoria cichlid. And yeah the ocellatus are great. I have 1M 2F and a bunch of itty bitty fish. They definitely will stand up to anything including my python.

Both of them are from a Spencer Jack group order in October.

Well I got myself a new flash so I thought I'd give a test drive and here are some pictures of some of my fishies. This is the male strawberry peacok from fairdeal. Paretroplus menarambo Eretmodus cyanostictus "Makombe" Goby Cichlid Platytaenidus sp. red tail sheller Lamprologus ocellatus

Here's another temporary option until you get your breeding tank set up. http://www.frontosa.com/viewtopic.php?p=6941

When I had shrimp, they loved the stuff. Cherry shrimp, amano shrimp, peppermint shrimp, and skunk cleaner shrimp all loved it.

I would use live rock. In addition to biological filtration it will also provide hiding spots for the eels.

Hi there and :welcome: to AA

No, mine haven't yet. My flamebacks have spawned, I have one female holding right now, and then my Paralabidochromis sp. rock krib uganda that I got from Spencer Jack has also spawned. I have 24 fry in breeder nets right now.

Patrick is probably better at answering the questions than I am. I kept Paralabidochromis chromogynus in a 40 gallon 1M 3F As they are african rift lake cichlids, they are like Malawi and Tangyankian cichlids, higher PH. Mine are between 7.8-8.3. I know Patrick's vics are kept in about PH of 9.

There was also someone on canreef selling a couple of big tanks. a 400 gallon acrylic and a 244 glass aquarium. Don't know if he still has them though. http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=45952

Not sure also, you could look at building one too. Marine Aquaria, Aquarium Designs Unlimited, Aquarium Illusions can do it.

You could also ask on bcaquaria. I'm sure they would know of good LFS in the Vancouver area.

Welcome to AA.

The other thing it might be might be would be a Gymnogeophagus sp.

Just a guess here, but it looks like Geophagus iporangensis.

He looks nice. If his offspring look anything like him, they'll look fabulous also.

I had a pair of blood parrots, they laid eggs probably about 5 times before I got rid of them. None of the eggs made it. They protected the eggs for the first couple of days then lost interest.

Welcome to the forum.

That sucks, what happened? She jump?

This is what I have right now. Heros sp. Rotkeil Thorichthys sp. blue mixteco Thorichthys maculipinnis exCichlasoma bocourti Cryptoheros nanoleuteus 'Rio Rabalo' Amphilophus nourissati Koi Angelfish EBJD Red Streak Gold Severum Thorichthys pasionis Geophagus steindarchi

That's pretty much about it, I remove dirty water, then refill. When refilling I try to let the water splash into the tank to somewhat aerate the water. I then add in the prime. When I do water changes I do all the tanks the same day, takes me about half hour from start to finish and I have about 10 tanks ranging from 125 gallons to 10 gallons.

I use Seachem Prime exclusively. One bottle goes a long way. 1 capful for 50 gallons vs. 1 capful for 10 gallons. Do the math and you see that Prime is by far more cost effective.

I know Nature's Corner has P.signifer fairly often. Those are the blue eyed ones I think.

You can use tap water, there are people who use it, I've bought frags from people that use edmonton tap water. Its just with RO/DI water you know there will be minimal additives in it and you add what you need in terms of salt mixture and other elements. Live rock should provide the biological filter. Any filter should work for mechanical filtration.
