brilliant, amazing, lovely work!

I like the first one!! Makes me miss vancouver....sniff sniff

Ditto for prime, and for Edm water and angelfish!

One little, big thing to watch for that I read about a while ago on this forum....... Make sure the new water going in the tank is not flowing directly to the intake for the filter. The prime works great by just adding to the tank BUT I guess it happened before to someone that they think the chlorinated, new water went straight into their filter without the prime working fast enoughg....they killed off the bacteria in the filter and had tragic results.

I have 3 golden wonder killifish...they stay exclusively at the top. They males are bright yellow and the female is a duller yellow. Maybe, just maybe once a week I will see one of the males cruise the mid level of the tank for kicks.....then he's right back at the top.

howdy! i can never see my upside down catfish either....he just loves to hide!!

Hello Greg. I too love Lake Malawi fish. I have a school of Demasoni right now that I have just acquired that I am trying to keep happy and healthy. When I achieve a nice balance....(some have died on me and I don't know why) then I would love one or two peacocks to throw some color combo's into the tank. I still have to ask many questions and research what I can put in with these guys successfully. Welcome.

yippeeeeee :thumbs:

love the last picture!

thanks guys, if the clouding does not change the water quality, then good ol snello it is. maybe i will try other calcium sources as well. by the way, bettafishmommy, these guys are awesome, all doing super, and we just love'em. thanks again!!

Hi, I bought some apple snails a couple of weeks ago, and with them came some home made snello and i also got a recipe. The snails love the jello, but it really clouds up the tank, bad. Are there any recipe's that dont make a real mess of the water? Any and all snail food suggestions and recipies welcome please. I'd like as many options as possible. the recipe i have is tums, fish food, gleatin and baby food crushed and mixed together and frozen....any thoughts on this? thnx in advance, robin

let's say heavily stocked then, don't get me wrong. the tank has had the same inhabitants, none added, none died for over a year. my rams are all well except for the one gbr. i have had him for quite a while. i just don't want to add any more juvies or too many more fish as it is just perfect right now. it is balanced and beautiful and healthy and i don't want to mess with it.

okay, okay, he gets nls, 50%water changes weekly, he has his own portion of the tank he has claimed and is respected, the tank is super areated, super loved, over filtered and...oh....i forgot the flowers....maybe one of his plants in his corner will bloom... .i was wondering about the partner/buddy side of things. some really wealthy people with big homes and great food get lonely for the same kind. dogs don't always substitue. i am venturing out of the community fish world and am learning about the types of fish that like to pair up. bear with me!!!! :bang1: :bang1:

would he be okay by himself? The tank is overstocked......

that is what i use in my 10 gal with plants thriving.

Hi there, i have a comm tank with 2 - well now one, german blue rams, 2 red rams, congos, glass catfish, killi's, angels, loaches and cory's. the pairs of rams are always 'paired up' and hang out on their ends of the tank near the bottom. one of my little gbr's died, and now the other is all alone....sob sob. sooooo, do i leave him be, or get him another gbr buddy. my concern is he is 2 years old, would a new or juvie one tick him off? i love the species and eventually will stock many more in this tank, but it is packed right now and no one has been added or died in over a year!!

believe me, i had a friend in mind who lost her eel this summer.....she has a huge tank that he would have gone in......the location is what stopped me! If only you were in edm.....

There is lots of rocks, there is no aggression, we have 13 left, but 4 are not looking well. HELP! Water paremeters are all perfect, the tank is mature, one apple snail died as well, something is going on!

Thnx....when i do get to edmonton this or next month i will get cichlid formula, but will continue with my .8mm for now. Any other tips on keeping these fish? They came with the tank and whole setup and tend to be dying off!!!!

got that! I mean which NLS! I have a few different kinds of it here.......

I am wondering what the BEST food for Demasoni is. Yes, I am a NLS fan, use it for my other fish, but this is my first cichlid tank and was wondering what the best mix/variety is. Thnx in advance

howdy!

thanks! i'll have to keep that website......
