I know that it is a Victorian hap but am not sure what it is. Any ideas ? I apologize for the quality of the picture I will try and post a better ASAP.

One more question eheim 2215 classic or eheim 2073 pro 3 canister filters. I have one of each haven't used the 2215 yet only the 2073 which leaked out all over my floor thankfully caught it fairly early. Talked to eheim and they sent me a new head for my pro three. Should I trust the pro three and sell the 2215 or should I just sell the new 2073 ? I am up in the air on this one whether or not to trust that the issue have been fixed.

Wow tks for all the info everyone it helped out a lot. I currently have a 120 gallon tall, 80 gallon hex both r dry, and a 55 gallon long which is housing my cichlids right now. Lots of options just have to figure out what I wanna do (funds) lol. When I do decide what I am doing / keeping ill post some pics of my setups. Tks again.

The tanks dimensions r 27 1/2 across from flat to flat and 29 inches tall best I can eatimate is that it's an 80 gallon, it has a three tube t8 lighting fixture. I was hoping to find a small group of haps but am a little concerned of the tank dimension knowing that cichlids generally like longer tanks. Does anyone know who has a good selection of haps ? Also I am thinking of doing a DIY background. Is it nessasary to run a co2 setup to get a healthy aqua scape ? What type of light bulbs should I run? Is it best to do a dry start ? will the haps eat the palnts from best i can tell they generally leave plants alone unlike the cousins (alonocara).Sorry for all the questions but I don't have a great idea when it comes to a planted tank.

Number one for sure ....

Hi i just recently purchased a 80 gallon hexagon tank with a three tube t8 lighting.. My question is are these an ideal tank for a planted setup or is the lighting generally to weak to support plants.. I have never done a planted tank so i am looking for some advice on what i need equipment wise to start.. i am thinking i want to either transfer some of my haps from my 55 gallon tank or put a large school of neon tetras with other fish that would be sutiable to go with them.. I am also thinking i might try my hand at a diy background.. Any advice will be gratly appreciated tks....

Gorgeous !!!!!

A couple mounths ago i purchased several pounds of lace rock at big als.. All of them where qiute large/nice peices, but since then the selection has been poor..Hit and miss i think........

Hi i am new to this forum/site....... I feel a little under educated when reading alot of what is posted in here but i do have 5 years experiance with peacocks... I have ran a strickly male tank the whole time with great success. I agree with pistolpete and everyone else a show tank with strickly male is the way to go.... Overstocking i what i have found to be the best method for dialing down agression, with that being said you may encounter problematic fish in your selections . Also i have found that introducing only one fish into a community tank can be an issue... I find introducing two or more gave the best success or taking a couple fish out of your tank and putting them in another tank for a couple days with the new fish before putting them back... Also i just purchased two male and four female Lake victorian haps with hope of successfully breeding them.. a couple of the the females r full of eggs at the moment (cross my fingers).... Anyways i am having trouble trying to figure out what species they r.... I think they may be a mwanza gulf of possiably dayglows i will post pics soon hopefully someone can help me....
