Lol there is no such thing unless shipping across international borders. They are just messing with you

Imo live foods haven't triggered breeding. Its more so based on how ready your fish are. I had a pair of Umbees do the dance for six months with no luck. Age and maturity of the fish plays a bigger role.

You have a digital control unit?

78 is a horrible temperature, I keep mine at 86.

Divider, and lots of reading.

They come in both forms. Most are just cheaper versions of sw lighting. they sell regular and high output so be careful.

Its evidently not a Ph problem. When ammonia reaches maximum potential the Ph would drop. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but when fish become lethargic and fish stop eating, you'll usually lose the fish.
-
What is your PH at right now? are you municipal tap water? A ph problem could indicate a problem with ammonia toxicity, which could lead to unnecessary pathogens in your tank.

You have a sunburst in a 10 gallon?

I own about 50% wild caught 50% captive bred. Some fish that are considered "wild caught" are actually farm bred in large pools in California, Florida, and in various places in SE Asia. I actually prefer captive bred fish as they don't seem to stress as easy or get sick, in my opinion. But like hybrid said, sometimes the only option is wild caught. I myself have a bunch of Bass and a couple Cichlids which are wild caught. I hope one day I can breed them and spread the captive bred babies out and about in the hobby.

Its really cool how close to the ocean they swim.
-
is there a solid crack or is the tank just shelled?

Did you go to Calgary? What did you guys get? Cool stuff

Ed, put up pictures of the fish from our road trip!

Looks like a bleekeri to me, and its an african. They get about 10-12" and are a little on the aggressive side. Quite nice fish when they get larger.
