Slough Shark Posted October 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Thanks Nick! I will definately go for them, how long can you hold on to them for? I'm going to get some paint this week for the tank background, and then I'll get myself a filter for it, how much flow, will an AC70 do? I guess I can give them some of my spare boulders until I can get my hands on some slate for caves, will that work (i don't like the look of clay pots)? And thanks degrassi, I'll definitely go for some HRPs now! Thanks, Taylor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Chicklets Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 No rush. They don't seem to mind breeding on rocks or driftwood or flowerpots, a lot like convicts that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slough Shark Posted October 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Great, thanks. And are the fry easy to raise? Will I need a little tank to grow them out in, or are Mum and Dad safe with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are very similar to convicts that way as well, the parents will look after them feed them some ground up NLS and all is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharuq1 Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 (edited) You might want to consider the type of dwarf cichlids fatpuffer has.. Their name escapes me atm. Triple red something Apistograma cocatides or something like that. Beautiful little fish. They have them over at Natures usually.

Slough Shark Posted October 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 I was thinking about getting some, but decided to go with the HRPs as they are easier to breed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slough Shark Posted October 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 I have no filter for this tank yet. Can I DIY a sponge filter? They are essentially just a sponge with a tube leading out the top yes? I have a spare AC70 intake tube and some filter inserts for the same filter, can I cut a hole in the sponge, jam the tube in there and call it a sponge filter???
