7.5-7.6, high iron and pretty hard, sorry forgot i didn't put it in the original post

pH is high just because that's how my tap water comes out, and maybe instead of tetras I could go with some sort of barb? Maybe tiger barbs?

Just looking for something that looks nice, schools tight, is big enough to not get eaten, and can handle a high pH. The acara is one of Jeff rapps' esmeraldas gold acara, she's about 4 inches long and the tank is 29 gallons.

are we having one? if so when is it?

As for red root floaters, I plan on using some sort of airline tubing as a barrier to prevent it from growing past a certain point. like I said before, rhenana, while it's gonna be harder to find, sinks rather than floats. I can always just move clumps to another tank or give it away if it grows...

what if I breed things like super red longfins and some sort of high end guppy? also come to think of it would angelfish in there work or would they just eat the guppies? (probably a dumb question)

yep definitely, even the long tailed babies are still super fast I saw one guy did it where he took them as eggs and put the clutch in an egg tumbler, they all hatched that way and he raised the batch from there in another tank maybe I could try that if I see a male sitting on eggs, but then...

Here's what i planned the tank out to be: (don't mind the crude illustration) 40 breeder, pleco caves evenly spaced out on one side, a decent amount of driftwood a piece of driftwood would separate the substrate from the bare-bottomed portion of the tank, which would be filled with riccia...

yep i do plan on pulling as many fry i can get maybe i can do some sort of apistos or rams?

I plan on getting a 40 breeder somewhere in the future, and breeding bristlenose and guppies in it. can anything else breed in there? if so what? I already looked into shrimp and ramshorn snails, the shrimp would probably get eaten by the guppies, plus i plan on growing plants to sell in there...

How many adults should I be able to keep in the 20 long? I have 4 tiny ones growing in there right now The 29 should be fine with 4 adults right Also once the male lets the fry out of the cave are they big enough to not be eaten by the guppies?

Well now I've got my groups of bristlenose growing out got some from the BFD I got blue eye lemons in a 29 long, and a small group of albino longfins I'm waiting to grow out and sex so I can just keep a trio or a pair. I also got guppies to breed in the same tanks (inspired from one of the...

If I booked a table for the marketplace, do I still have to pay admission for today?

no harm in breeding and raising other CARES species though and you can still keep rainbows with (most) american cichlids, so there's that :) i mean not the fry of course

what about a rainbowfish growout contest alot of melanotaenia and pseudomugil are on the CARES list i think that'd be fun, breeding behaviors of both families are fun to watch, plus egg scatterers are usually fun/easy to breed.

my tap PH is already at 7.8, so I guess I'm good in that regard. Thanks for the advice, and good luck on your gold ocellatus, those little guys sure seem fun, from what I've read about them they've got alot of personality and unique behaviors.

also is anyone here willing to sell any neolamprologus similis

I plan on breeding shelldwellers pretty soon, (specifically n. similis) in a 20 long. I have a general idea of their care and breeding, and I just had some questions- -can they be on bare bottom or do they need sand? -do I need to move fry to a growout? -can I grow fry out in a 10 gallon...

I'm planning on jumping into that pretty soon, ATM I have an empty 20 long, and an empty 10 gallon, along with another two 10 gallons I'm about to free up. I plan on either getting bristlenose plecos or shelldwellers for the 20 long, but that just depends on what I find first, since I'm still...

a lake tanganyika growout or CA growout contest would be fun, and I think a lot of people would be interested in either.
