Richard where was this guy 2-3 months ago when I was scouring the earth in search of one?

Oh, yeah - danger_chicken, do you still need snails for your puffer? If so, I could probably bag up a bunch.
If you have time sure. Between you and minifoot I have an established breeding population now. But he'll be happy to eat more.

Pat, are you sure she isn't bringing you?

Be careful if she tries to stuff you in a plastic bag before you leave the house.

Rusty cichlids are great fish - relatively peaceful and really cool colors, especially as they age

Snowball shrimp and what ever else I feel like bagging that day :) Some reganochromis (50 point bap fish :p ) might show up :)

I'd bid on some crypt/ large java fern/ large anubias plants if any showed up at the auction :)

of course I'd bid up rachels snails/shrimp as well :p

anybody bringing plants? I want some for my african cichlid tank

Well, in addition to the guppy grass I was already planning to bring, I could certainly bring a couple bags of crypt wendtii, and maybe also some crypt balansae (gets very tall, does well in harder water), and possibly some crypt moehlmanii (bright green leaves, instead of the usually darker green of most crypts - makes for a nice contrast).

I'll look around for any java ferns or anubias I could part with; those grow pretty slowly for me, so I'm not sure I have any available.

I could either bring these for the auction, or if you would prefer to buy them outright, PM me.

If anyone is interested, I'll bring a bag of A. maylandi juvies... getting close to 2" long now.

Chris, are those plants cichlid safe?

Well, to my knowledge none of them will poison your fish. :) Whether they'll survive your fish, I can't be sure. But you won't know until you try!

I suppose it would depend on what kind of substrate you're using, whether you keep cichlids that dig (and would uproot them), or keep plant-eaters. In general, the crypts will need to get their roots established in the substrate (gravel or sand ought to work, though flourite or ecocomplete are better). Anubias or java fern would be better if you have diggers.

Depends on which ones :)

They do well with most tangs... except for Tropheus/gobies/Petrochromis.

Mbuna... anubias and java fern. Peacocks do well with all three I mentioned as well.

I have played around with a lot of types of plants.... one of the reasons years ago that I got into Tangs was the fact that you can keep a lot of different kinds of plants with them as long as they can tolerate the hard water. I have a very heavily planted tank with sand sifters :) Makes for a very nice tank. With most rock dwelling tangs you can have plants as well. Leleupi/Julidochromis/nigriventris/chalinochromis... etc. It's not very natural at all.... but plants keep my water quality up :)

I am getting in habrosus cories, marthae hatchets, and some honey gourami tomorrow. i will make a thread when I see how they look. I will also have some more shrimp species (most likely indian white banded and dwarf green both of which are hardwater tolerant species which will not interbreed with neocaridina like cherry or snowball)
