  1. First time on any forum so I hope I am posting this in the right place. I bought some Cichlids off of someone in Fort Macleod and I was told they came from Fairdeal's Fair Deals and I could get in touch with this person on this forum. I am looking for somewhere to buy Cichlids other than the pet stores. Also wondering about a particular fish that I got. It is an OB Peacock that is hot pink. Literally hot pink. Awesome colour, but it is incredibly aggressive for a Peacock and has a bump on it's head like a Blue Dolphin. Wondering where this fish came from, what is in it in terms of the hybrid and if you remember it. I was told he is one of a kind by the person that bought him from you.

    Do you have a picture ?

  2. A few more Pics

    I have been trying to improve the red body and blue face in my Eureka peacocks the last couple years by selective line breeding. Here is my current breeder male I am using.

    I introduced an albino gene into my German red peacocks a couple years ago. It is still work in progress to get a very red body.

    Wild caught Aulonocara sp. blue neon from undu point. These guys came in a few weeks ago

  3. I bought my net 20 years ago for about 30 bucks lol. Not sure what they cost now. Electro shockers just stun the fish and make em float to the top. I have never used one or built one but there is alot of info available on google.

  4. I know this won't help but I have a question -- where are you guys getting these worm things from ?

    Shoot me your email and I'll send you the list of stores I have figured it out has them. :)

    I've sold lots of Levamisole because of them!

    Ok done

    Ohh by the way African order is arriving in the morning

  5. I'm always for the look out for these worms as I get a lot of wild caught Apisto's . I have read many times these fish come in with worms but have never seen any,. Perhaps my quarrentine period which includes a couple days of clout is knocking them out ? or I could just be in need of glasses - not sure

  6. The way I understand it is you can run as much as they are rated for or more. It is back pressure from not having enough outlets running that causes harm to these pumps. I have several outlets on each pump that I use to bleed excess air. Not sure about the psi thing as I never measured it. I would go for more power than you need it gives you the option of adding more airstones or sponge filters should you need them. Just bleed any excess pressure. I think they make a bleeder valve for this purpose but I have not used one yet.

  7. I have to agree with Spruce. I have 7 adults in a 125 and it seems crowded. But I'm new to Discus keeping so am still learning. I would however suggest adding a bit more filtration to the tank. Left over food and crap ferment fairly fast at 86 degrees so I prefer to have a lot of filtration in their tanks.
