I have a single white top hara with a male Melanochromis auratus They pretty much don't mess with each other. The M auratus female I had ended up being killed with being chased and nipped nonstop by the male. I got one fry from the couple and that one is the meanest one I have in my other...

I concur with Matt, The Potential for Hyrbridized fish is hurting the hobby. When someone goes to petco thinking they are getting X and then end up with XYZ that when fully grown looking nothing like X they feel swindled even though the event happened over a year prior. There is getting to be...

Sounds like you are off to a good start.

The video is a short clip of the F1 Labidochromis sp. Hongi I bought from Bill / fischfan in May of 2012. Thanks Bill, I love these guys! http://www.capitalcichlids.org/forums/member.php?u=531 - STATMATT cFQLKrbyXVE

On this one I belive they probably live in an apartment and got in trouble.

Yes, removing fish isn't a priority. I've done it by draining the water level down to almost nothing, holding it in Rubber maid bins and then using a pump to pump the water back into the tank once the culprit fish is caught. But at this point if a fish gets picked on they tend to congregate in a...

Hello everyone, as everyone knows I love rocks and am not into plants much, but that is mostly b/c I had a discouraging time with plants as a beginning aquarist. I think if I had had this video I would have been much more successful. Even as an experienced aquarist, this video taught me much...

It's really busied up. I've got 40 fish in the one 150. It takes me half an hour to get a good count on the 4 species that are in there and make sure everyone is OK. Right now I'm a little worried about having an Amonia/Nitrite spike even though the tank was already established with 12 Fish...

I've had really good luck using the buffer from seachem. I buy it in the huge tubs. I usually don't see drastic drops in water hardness. It usually stays very high and is rebalanced with each water change. I've never verified it, but a long time ago I heard that CC irritated the gills of...

I just put in my order with Dave. Hopefully he has everything in stock still. 10 @ Tropheops sp. ''Elongatus Boadzulu'' Kanchedza Island 10 @ Pseudotropheus saulosi Taiwanee Reef 10 @ Metriaclima sp. ''Elongatus Chailosi'' Chitande 10 @ Aulonocara hueseri Likoma Island ''Midnight'' 6 @...

I spoke with Dave on Friday about my order and he mentioned the Mabamba's as being cool. I'm putting my order with him today.

Does anyone know what this fish is in his tank? Here is the one in my old tank. http://www.capitalcichlids.org/forums/album.php?albumid=119&pictureid=1276 Here is the one in his tank. http://www.capitalcichlids.org/forums/album.php?albumid=228&pictureid=2163 This was one of my all time...

I would like to order, however I have some issues. I have military duties that weekend and would not be available until after 8:00 pm on Saturday and Sunday or I could arrange to pick up Late Friday night. Is this workable, or would someone be able to pick up for me so that I can meet them...

So one of my dream fish is Labeotropheus trewavasae I was looking at Daves Fish and he has the Tumbi West Island Is what I don't know about these fish is do the females automatically come in OB or some variant of that? STATMATT

+1 on the Jemco temperature controllers. one of the problems with using two heaters in the same tank is one of them tends to kick on before the other one every time. With the controller, you set the heater temperature slightly higher than what you want the water temp to be. Then set the temp...

It could be water hardness. I've had this happen when I didn't buffer the water.

I've opened up an FX5 and found 4 live fish flopping around. Size 2.5 inches each. I was wondering where they went!

ejackson, look to get your fish at club meetings or auctions or people advertising in the Marketplace. As a new AC tank keeper, the temptation is to go to Petco etc... and get some Africans, but they are never quite as healthy as you expect and or when they grow up they are not what you...

If only Aquamainia didn't conflict with my Army Duties I'd be all over it. It seems like most of the CCA events are the second weekend of the month. That happens to be the same weekend as battle assembly. Oh Retirement couldn't come soon enough! :angel2:

Both tanks are running well. I have a set of 9 Labidochromis Sp. Hongi that I got from Fischfan last year. They are starting to color up with their purples. The other 150G that I moved all the rocks to has had some issues with fish vanishing. I had put 10 Williamsi in there, but I think I'm...
