  16. Update-Sand for freshwater

    in General Aquaria Discussion

    Ok, ever since all you fine people have told me I could use sand for my FW aquarium I have been on the look out for some nice cheap sand...I decided I really liked the white sand but didn't want to pay 25 bucks for 20 lbs that you see it for in local pet stores...

    SO I started looking into pool filter sand..and yes the do sell white pool filter sand...but where to buy it in Edmonton remains a mystery as I visited a dozen places with no luck...then I called a bunch of landscaping companies and found some "Hawaii White Sand"...now it is not as sharp white as the stuff for 25 bucks but it is way more white then normal play sand and the best part is was 10 bucks for 100 lbs... I will see if I can get some pics of it when I put it into the tank.

    I am not sure about the forum rules about posting a company name so if you want to know where I got it just PM me!

    you know what i get my pool sand in our used pool filter sand coz im maintenance in hotel with pool so only you need is wash it very well coz theres some still chemical there...but dont worry i tried already in my tank...nothing happen to my peacocks community tank...if you interested i can grab you coz im going to the city by this june 26.

    I would have to agree with Neil - quality stock to start with. You can only improve color with diet to a point. If the genetics aren't there the fish will never reach their potential no matter what else you try.

    im really 100% agree both this guy...quality stock first its on the genetics..

  21. Seeking expert advice for Fronts please.

    in African Cichlids

    Hello, I am considering swapping out my current tank inhabitants (all males mix) in my 180 gallon, for Frontosa.

    I have the opportunity to get a WC pair of Blue Zaire Fronts, male and female, that are full grown. (Female is about 10", male is about 11 or 12") I'm told they are about 4 to 5 years old, of coarse being WC nobody can be real sure. They were caught and transported as juvy's though, so thats the best guess.

    I would prefer to have more than 2 fronts in a 180, so here are my questions:

    The current owner says they breed about twice a year, but haven't lately.

    If I get them, I would want them to breed and keep some of the fry.

    How old do fronts get and how long do they breed for? (till what age?)

    Can the fry stay in the 180 or should I seperate them?

    What tank mates can I have in the 180 and what are the chances of the Fronts still breeding with these tankmates?

    - 1 pair black calvus, 1 WC Goldhead Comp., group of firecracker lelupi's OR group of young electric yellows (would prefer the lelupi's to keep the tank Tanganyikan, but are they too aggressive?), how about Syn. petricolas? will they cause me problems (steal eggs/babies?)

    Other tangs that can go? What about other malawi fish, such as a large male Red Empress, or male peacocks?

    The tank has been established with many fish since October. It has a 33 gallon sump (with about 1400GPH flow) and 2 powerheads for filtration and flow. It stays at 78 to 80* and ph about 8.0. The tank has many rocks, sand substrate, a few pieces of driftwood, and fake plants. I would not be overly concerned with breeding anything other than the fronts, but would want them to breed hopefully repeatedly over several years. I do have several small tanks to seperate and grow out fry.

    Thanks for any help.

    Boom

  24. Oscars and EBJD

    I fed mainly NLS with shrimps, clams, mussels, etc (puffer food) as supplementary food. I would not try it just because of the hefty price on teh EBJD. Like I said, they get stressed easily especially at a younger age. It's up to you.

    Js
