I mean, it's a hell of a find. On top of being hard to come by, the shop probably knows this too and put up the price knowing that someone out...
+1 on pics. BN are the biggest herbivores there, but kribs are known to ingest a bit of plant matter in the wild. Angelfish could also be a...
Can't speak for Cape Town specifically, as I'm a native Durbanite/current Joburger. But some municipal water suppliers bring the pH of the water...
The recommendation on UV tubes is that you replace them every 6 months to 1 year, as they can rapidly lose effectiveness. Then you get hit with a...
It's important to remember that, when a strain is created, it comes from a long heritage of fishes that did not necessarily have ALL the...
Might just be a case of the fish still settling in. These are still very young cichlids, so you need to be very accommodating for the first week...
This is an important point! Once you start winning the battle, the bacteria start to die off. When they die, they rot. This creates a massive...
Pretty much what has been said covers it. The water change will remove a good portion of the bacteria actually present in the water column. The...
Growth is pretty rapid initially, but that slows down eventually and usually evens out at about 15 to 20cm as @Hein@1979 said. They look to have...
They are not awfully competitive species, so personally I wouldn't keep them with much else. Your idea for using more bottom dwelling species is...
Here is a link to a local site that outlines invasive species and has information on legislature. Good place to start. If you're looking for info...
@Hendre is right. Most large water bodies in SA are dams (i.e. man-made), with a good portion of the remaining "still" large water bodies being...
The trouble comes in collecting them. Technically a fishing licence permits you to fish for specimens for recreational purposes (sport fishing),...
Can we get a bit of recent history - what has changed or has been done in the past few days/weeks? Feeding, maintenance schedule, tankmates,...
Food-safe is a pretty broad term. Plastic water bottles, for example, are classed as food safe, but several brands have since been identified in...
Aquarium Centre (Kenilworth) has been doing some good imports recently of Rift Lake cichlids. You can pop in, or maybe see if what they put up on...
Most livebearer females get a gravid spot, it's an indication that there are developing fry, not what species they are. Swordtails, platies,...
As best as I can tell, probably guppies.
Hi there Although not absolutely clear from your pictures there, I would argue that you have "wild" guppies, rather than mosquitofish. But if a...
Looks like a tilapia, most likely a Mozambique tilapia. Still quite young.
