@Reedfish still figuring out what species I'll go with, but having a chat with someone this weekend hopefully who has some cichlids I've been...
I left the latest brood with mom, to see how she held up with the parenting duties. She's quite a rough one - the poor male can't get close. The...
Hi there! No such thing as a stupid question - the more questions you ask in this hobby, the further you'll go. I'm going to start off and ask...
Handsome fish! My knee-jerk reaction was Synodontis schoutedeni, but the bars on the tail lead me to think it's Synodontis aterrima.
Hmm... the fry might be better off with no "guard" vs a screen, for example. If fry tumble down the pipework, they'll likely survive the trip and...
I've been wanting to try out Apistos, just never came across them at the right time. These are great quality and I feel the bug biting again......
I'd also take a second to be sure that your testing is accurate. pH paper test strips are notorious for losing accuracy over time, especially if...
Those are some gorgeous coloured males. My dominant male has put on a good display once or twice, but normally it's as you see in the picture...
Thanks guys! The whole genus are collectively known as "sleepers", using their brown blotched appearance to look like a corpse, and then lie on...
Hi all Of course this breeding project went into overdrive when I don't have access to half the things I need, but it's had a good turnout so...
If you're still struggling to move them on, and even pet stores can't help, a good option would then be to ask the Johannesburg Zoo or SANBI...
I'm far too far away, but wow! What a deal on such good looking fish!
Yes and no. If a province or municipality is progressing at dangerous rate, that place may remain at level 4. It's meant to keep hotspots from...
Looking great so far - I wish we'd see more stream-type setups around!
If you want bang for buck, Seachem is the way to go, but not Prime. Use Seachem Safe - you use 1mg per litre, which means if you buy the smallest...
Whew, not a part of the hobby I'm deeply rooted in, but there are a few options around. Most pet stores carry the regulars - Echinodorus, Java...
Sometimes I forget I'm a member here so I come and go, but I find my way back eventually :confused: I always try keep busy but it's nothing too...
I'd be careful in your little planted tank - most plants are not tolerant of salt and struggle to adjust. If you suspect your problem is a...
I've seen this brought up a few times in groups, but it doesn't gain much traction. While it's always good to have meds on hand, they do expire...
Glad to see that brackish tanks are still finding favour with some fishkeepers, it's one of the most unique parts of the hobby. I did a thread on...
Separate names with a comma.
