I've DIYed a few based on ready made ones I've seen, and even though I've tried several different materials, the eggs always seem to adhere to the bottom at some point. Even if I turn the valve to the air pump up pretty high.

I haven't used methylene blue yet, though. Is that the key?

Dunno how others are able to use their DIY ones and eggs always just stick in mine.

I’ve decided to move away from most of my African species in favor of more South American projects.

Selling each species as a group, not looking to split any group up for an individual fish. Pick up in Brentwood, MD just outside DC. My time is limited but I will try my best to work with people. Probably won’t be at the Christmas party unfortunately. Take everything for $350. Willing to hear offers on anything (again, groups only, not interested in splitting). Worst I will say is “No”.

8 enterochromis paropius.
Peaceful Victorian species. Ratio appears to be 3m:5f. Obtained from Cunningham Cichlids. Should be close to spawning, but have not yet for me. C.A.R.E.S. Species! Good for BAP points. $50/group

8 synodontis petricola adults (3-4”). Breeding group, although I have never set them up to remove spawns. Females routinely full with eggs. Ratio unknown. $200/group. )

5 neolamprologus similis adults. Ratio appears to be 1m:4f, possibly 2m:3f. Will come with the shells they’re in. Of spawning size, but have not spawned for me. $50/group

2 altolamprologus sp. sumbu white dwarf young adults. Ratio is 1m:1f. They may or may not be spawning, hard to tell in the tank. These take a long time to get to a decent size. $100/pr


2 blue eyed leucistic “L-144” bristlenose pleco. Male and female, unproven. Approx 3”. $10/pr.

CAS has lots of nice fish available. See below.

Shipping is limited to Monday, December 12, 2019, this coming week due to cold weather forecasted for the remainder of the week. Get your order in so I can do my best to get it out if you plan to have your fish shipped. Local pickup is another option if you are close by, Local pickup can be arranged 24 hours in advance. Depending on how many shipping orders I get, I may be able to meet a few customers on Monday, December 12 at 7:00 pm. Otherwise, I can meet customers at the church on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday between 1:30 pm and 3:00 pm or 7:00 pm weather permitting and Saturday 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm. Or 7:00 pm. Weather permitting.


Cooler weather brings a higher risk of Ich. To treat it I use one teaspoon per gallon of table salt (no Iodine) in combination with cooper power green for two weeks. Then I drop back to the salt only for an additional week to be extra safe. Salt and cooper power green are less invasive treatments. They are not as hard on the fish or the bio in your tank as some other stronger treatments.

Looking for a group of yellow labs to stock my (now empty) 55 with.
