  1. Does it walk, fly, or swim? just trying to narrow it down!! Chances are it's illegal, most unmentionables are illegal. :smokey:
  2. a male and 2 females? what kind of Albino peacock?
  3. Welcome, I recognize some of those fish, you are the guy that phoned looking for Ward the other day. Enjoy the board :thumbs:
  4. Thanks that answers my question. I am planning to put a layer on top of sand for them to breed, and the sand will allow me to anchor some plants.
  5. Okay, so now I have some Nothobranchius Rachovii from the auction, always been a little curious about them. I am putting a tank together for them. My question is on peat moss. Is there a certain kind just for aquaria, or can you use the garden variety? From what I understand, you take the peat moss and boil it to get rid of impurities and oils. I am not sure if gardentype also has ferts that might cause problems or is unsafe for fish.
  6. I would keep a close eye on it, and do partial water changes, about 20% a day. You must of had an amonia spike. Some reasons are: cleaning the filter to well (just give the sponges a quick rinse in a container of aquarium water. If you clean them overly, or with tap water, high temperature water, or totally replace them you will loose all your good bacteria) Over feeding insufficient water changes ( on most tanks about 20% water change weekly is a good practice.
  7. cichlid forum this one might help It depends what kind of cichlids you would like to have. Most african cichlids don't do well with plants , they prefer rocks South american, central american like plant. For a 30g I would go with dwarf cichlids, there are both american and african.
  8. How much water are you changing? How often are you changing? are you adding prime or another declorinator, etc? are you cleaning the filters at the same time? and if so how?
  9. I have one in my 33 gallon, really 1 1/2, I trimmed it tight enough that I did not have to silicone it.
