Thank you all for your advice! I separated them into their own tank as you recommended... and less than 3 weeks later...(photo will not load here...it did in the breeding forum) Thanks to SamChicklets here is the link to a short vid of the mom & fry. March 29/08 - 5 weeks later and the fry are 10x bigger than the movie - fast growing little buggers once they hit a month old!

Thanks to Sam Chicklets, I think a short movie will run now. It is very hard to tell, with lots more under that cave ledge on the left, but I think there are around 250-300+ fry. Edit Feb 27: They all came up into the top of the tank last night for a swim with Mom...more like 400 - 500 of the little buggers...seem to be growing faster now that my brine shrimp in-tank production set up is running strong the past 3 days. March 29 - After some munching by Mom & Dad the remaining 50 or so are 10x bigger than the movie and growing super fast!

You've probably seen my pics I posted of the male and female Golden Saum in the S/A Cichlid area when I was trying to figure out exactly what they were. Per the advice on this forum I had moved these two S/A cichlids inot their own tank some time ago. Not alot of action evident then two days ago the female started taking runs at fish she saw in an adjacent tank. The male was just staying off to himself. Today I was doing my afternoon maintanence on my tanks...looked down and saw...

Whether those organizations wanted to let this forum's member know was not my point...my suggestion is events our members think would benefit other members could be posted here...regardless of whether any particular organization thinks we are important enough...or whether they are well organized enough to even think of publicizing their events. As an example, I see BC members here, they could mention local auctions/events on this forum, though their local orgs would never think we would be interested...our forum members travelling through the BC area would thus be better aware of opportunities... Just an idea. I too missed the calendar button in the upper right...when I looked I thought it was just for birthday listings.

:bow: Incredible! hmmm, do you think if I tried to add a tank like this and my wife actually left me that I could fit the heater assembly and sump in her closet.... :bang1:

Just a thought, a thread on Aquatic related Events could allow the posting of a number of things; For example: - Association auctions Local/Alberta/Western Canada ??? - How to programs at local providers - ie - Outdoor pond sessions at fish stores etc

If you are catching them at night I understand using red light in otherwise total darkness works best...comments from others?

:welcome: You've come to the right place! I joined about a month ago, with only the very odd exception there are nothing but extrmemely helpful and knowledable people here. The admins are also a great group to contact if you have any questions. Enjoy!

I've just ordered 3 sets of the blue led light set ups from Ebay, following the link posted above, Ill post some pics and let you know how they work when they arrive.

Thank you all for the information...I'd never heard of "Golden Saums" before...interesting material on the net! If they breed I'll post photos. :thumbs: Hal

:welcome: You'll find this a forum full of really helpful people, I have! As they say, beware the expanding tank virus that circulates here... I came in with 118 gallons in 4 tanks...just passing the 400 gallon mark shortly ...and yes , I took the advice and told my wife I found them in the garage....now I have to build her a dang garage this spring.... :smokey:

Thanks for the input Nandopsis, I appreciate it! :thumbs:

Congratulations Dwayne! Outstanding colours.

:welcome:

:welcome: You've come to the right location, I've been here less than a month and have had nothing but helpful advice and suggestions on what, where and when to upgrade my aquariums. Enjoy!

I was given both of these, sold to me as "Green Terrors" roughly 2 months ago when they were both 1" approx. Growing rapidly I am about to move them into their own tank. I think from the descriptions on the net of the females being smaller, with rounded fins and body and the males having the top fin reaching the tail in a more pointed form that I have a male (approaching 6") and a female (31/2" - 4 inches). I'll try to attach 3 pics, a 2 shot, then 1 of the larger (male?) and 1 of the smaller (female?) I'd appreciate your opinions on whether I have a male and female here or just 1 dominant and sub-dominant male. UPDATE Identified here and on the Cichlid Forum as 'Aequidens' sp. "Goldsaum" Their profile page is http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=502 2008March29 - Fry for sale to forum members - posted in Livestock section.

I'd be concerned that if the paint did not adhere properly then the silicone would just come off in places with the paint. Perhaps the paint supplier has a contact # you could call to ask what to do next to cure the painit properly? Looks like a great tank in any event, can not wait to see the finished product. Hal

:welcome: You came to the right place for helpful people...a great bunch here!

Incredible pics! What kind of camera/settings are you using to take them?

I saw this article, with photos claiming it works so well, so thought I'd pass it along for your consideration. "How To Eliminate Aiptasia Anemones with Lemon Juice" from About.com Saltwater Aquariums From Stan & Debbie Hauter, The link: http://images.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http...l%3Den%26sa%3DN I got there after I looked at: http://saltaquarium.about.com/cs/msubpesta...nvaipduster.htm

:welcome: This forum is chock full of really helpful soles...but beware...I had 125 gallons on the go in total when I joined this forum a very short while ago...just passing 340 gal with purchase today...lol....with the advice and leads on fair deals that this group provides you may soon need a bigger house! lol :smokey:

I just bought 2 of these used filters and went looking for the manuals. Though the entire manual is 187 pages, the english & relevant pages are 1-4, 15-21 and 184-187. The link is; http://www.eheim.de/eheim/pdf/en/anleitung...6_2028_2128.pdf

:welcome: You'll find a really helpful bunch of people here! I am new myself and have had nothing but great advice from this group!

I thought I'd dug lol, you dug better! The 136 I am waiting on the female seller to let me know when/if I can see it. That's the tank that was empty for the last 7 ?years... Thanks for the help, I appreciate it!
