I would suggest it just the opposite. My many years of fishing while using red and white daredevlels as a lure sure brought a lot of fish in. Maybe the red attracts fish and thats why they like the net:-) We shall never know.......

Now I know where the term " Deep six" comes from:-)

My apoligies. I have since read the rules and will try not to sin again:-)

Very nice shot. Great colour. It is interesting how the red folows the centre tree going up. If you could crop out the powerlines it would be worth framing

Very nice pictures. Did you use a flash or a very fast lens?

Thanks for your suggestions. I am still looking for more rocks so I can make it higher. Seems I live in the NE end of Edmonton and all the good fish stores are in the south:-)

Just setting up my first Cichlid tank 55 us Gal. Einham 2217 and heater. I am still working on the decor and rocks and have just put 2 rainbows in to cycle the tank. Your suggestions and comments are welcome

IMO, your quarantine/hospital tank should be large enough to comfortably house your largest fish for at least a month. Thanks I guess I will figure that out when I get my fish

Yes thank you. I was on google today and there is lots of info. I added a couple of rainbow zebras today to get it started and changed about a 1/4 of the water. I will see how that goes.

Thanks very much. It is a steep learning curve from 40 years ago:-)

I just checked the nitrates and it is at .01 and ammonia is at .0.

I am setting up a new 50 gal tank and have had it running for about 2-3 weeks without fish. and am looking for a little advice. Everything seems to check out okay as I used Prime in the water and used media from one of my son's tanks. I plan on putting fish in it very soon. Am I required to do a water change even though I have not put fish in it yet? What is the purpose of changing water other than getting rid of fish waste?

Welcome: Hope you like it as much as me.

That's a strange one. I can hardly wait until they bring out red fishing line:-)

Thanks for that info. I would like to have to have plants in my tank and will look for some Jungle Vals
