one of the comments below the vid suggests that it is a L 173. That is one good looking pleco!!!

Thanks! I think so too :smokey:

Just trying some different settings with my wife's camera.... I thought this one looked pretty good.

very nice :thumbs: what size are they?

pm Skynoch, he sells them on here all the time.

Nls Grow .5mm pellets work well for me, i think they have a little higher fat? content. Good filtration and 40% water changes weekly should do the trick.

Very nice!!! :thumbs:

I only use prime. This is a previous thread from R.D. that I found to be a good read. http://albertaaquatica.com/index.php?showtopic=501&hl=water+conditioners

Very nice :thumbs: They look beautiful!

how are the remaining fry doing?

Great, their egg sacks are gone now and they're eating like little pigs. Also had another female spawning two days ago (the 4th). :thumbs:

Stripped her at 10 days, there were 10 eggs but one was almost disintegrated two were dead and one had some fungus. just moved them from the tumbler to a grow out tank on the weekend. Also had another female hold with a huge mouthful, but she swallowed them on day three.

Nope, all by themselves.

the fish I thought was the Beta male

Is now holding!!

nice work!!! sorry to go a tad off topic but when do your fronts reach a mature breeding age?

Male needs to be around 7", they reach this size at 3 or 4 years old and females need to be around 5", somewhere around 3 years old.

came home from work and caught them in the act :thumbs:

had to use the flash cause she was hiding

Well kept tank!!! very beautiful

these guys are setting up their website next month but here's their e-mail, so you can get them to send you their stock list. They ship to canada with a minimum $500 order.

I've never found a cichlid holding till the other day. I put the female, who is not all the big, in a separate tank and put some sponge material over the filter intake. Today I got home and there were 8 peacock fry chillin on the bottom. I put the female back in the 67gallon.

NOW WHAT?

Do they need to stay in their own tank? Should I get a fry net thing? I have some fry food that was laying around, but I feel like if I put it in the water then they are not going to be able to get at it in such a large tank. (It is only 10 gallons).

Soooo.......if anyone wants to give me some pointers I would be happy to listen.

Cheers.

If you want to keep the fry they need to be in their own tank or they'll get eaten. Once they have a couple feedings they catch on and are very eager to eat, a 10 gal is great. The only reason to leave the mother in the tank is if there were still more babies in her mouth, as long as she has some hiding spots and is eating well she'll be fine in the 67. With regular water changes and feeding 2 or 3 times a day, the'll grow pretty fast.

Congrats and Enjoy!

Wow, looks and sounds awsome!

thanks, I'm loving them!!!

Thanks for all the responses.

I don't have very much experience when it comes to sick fish, so i kinda jumped the gun. They both still have the spot but it seems to be smaller tonight.

Thanks,

Sheldon

I'm super excited to get some Frontosa again!!! (and a new tank for them) Just got them in from Toronto last weekend. Not a very good picture but I will try again later. I got 2m and 4f

Alpha male

Hi,

I just got these guys in this last weekend and two of them just developed this little white thing. On one of the fish it is underneath one of his scales and it is a little swolen and the other fish, a little white thing is protruding out between two scales. I have treated the tank with melafix and pimafix, and added 4 tbls of aquarium salt. The fish are still eating normal and swimming normal but I want to get rid of this as fast as possible.

The little spot above the gill is what I'm worried about.

thank you for looking

Sheldon
