    Another stupid mistake

    Perhaps the lesson here is to not climb on a chair so soon after Thanksgiving? :p

    Wet dry filters and sump

    There are a number of considerations when figuring out what to use as a sump. Mostly, you want enough room for your filter media tower, plus whatever other equipment you also want to put in there. Secondly, you want a big enough sump so that the evaporation between water changes will not leave...

    Clown loaches with haps

    It's not their natural habitat, but clown loaches do fine with rift lake africans, including mbuna. I've heard that they are susceptible to ich in soft water, low ph tanks. They've been extremely hardy in my 8.0+ ph hard water tanks with africans. Not one instance of ich. The only issue I had...

    F/S 2.5 lbs frozen mysis from JEHMCO

    Sale to George pending. I'd hardly call it "triumphant" but far be it from me to disagree with the Supreme Commander!

    F/S 2.5 lbs frozen mysis from JEHMCO

    Nobody needs mysis? I'm going to go ahead and order for myself. If anyone decides they want 1/2, please pm me as I might not see a post. Thanks!

    F/S 2.5 lbs frozen mysis from JEHMCO

    Hi all - Long time no see. Hope everybody is well. I'm ordering frozen mysis shrimp from JEHMCO. It's sold in 5 lb blocks and I don't need that much. Looking for someone to take 2.5 lbs off my hands at cost, incl. half the shipping charge. Should be about $25 (your share). I'm making the...

    A Semi-Heated Dscussion

    You could also "cause" an outbreak by stressing the fish with too much of a water change if you failed to match the water temp or conditions closely. Not saying this is what you did but that it's possible. Ick and other disease agents are in all of our tanks but are held at bay by the fishes'...

    Lighting

    Mix of daylight and an actinic.

    ID

    Definitely a kenyi. Fun and beautiful fish, though they are feisty and there isn't a huge market for them. You won't get rich breeding them, but they are a good looking fish that will catch peoples' eyes.

    Sitter schedule for long vacation help

    I agree with Matt and Jon. Reduced feedings are less likely to cause problems than trying to duplicate what you would do. I'd say have the sitter come every other day and bypass the water changes. K.I.S.S. I usually put out food in Dixie cups or a pill box so the sitter doesn't have to use...

    Trickle filter media

    I had to search a number of dollar stores, but I eventually found them. There are a lot of good resources and sump/filter build threads out there. Here's the one I did: http://www.capitalcichlids.org/forums/showthread.php?t=3621

    wtf is an egg spot

    What is google? Should I go there first if I have questions? Isn't it easier to have you do it for me? (Yeah, I did the work in Cam's thread.) Feeding the beast. :D

    Nile perch

    Cam - One of the reasons you're getting so much crap is that on its face, your question shows that you did no work on your own before you asked. The message is that you view your time more as valuable than your audience. Not a good look. I doubt that is what you intended, but that is the...

    Fish Pics 1

    Love the boops Anthony! My largest juvie is all black and just starting to show a little of the blue. Arlene, pic two is a cyprichromis leptosoma. I believe it's a Utinta from the ocelli on the dorsal fin. Pic 3 is a cyprichromis microlepidotus, not sure which location, but maybe kilila...

    Local Breeders (Near Silver Spring)

    Most of the club members (200+) breed some type of cichlids and are around Silver Spring for the monthly club meeting if nothing else. None of us has every type of cichlid, but if you have something in mind, chances are one or more of us has it. You could start by narrowing down the geographic...
