Hi all, Well, those of us living in Eastern Canada have come together to form a new aquarium society. We have a temporary site up and would love to have you visit. Any suggestions, ideas, experience, etc. that you could pass along to us society newbies would be great and much appreciated. ...

my two eureka red girls are holding again, last time I stripped them after about 30 days, the fish were definately developped to the point that they were like little copies of their mum, with no egg sack at all. problem is when I put them into the bucket full of freshly obtained tank water, some...

first of all, perhaps I'm going to try and keep a couple of these fish in a 50l tank (I'm doing things metric, just to be clear :)), if you think that's a bad idea, please say so. but there's a thing I wonder about: inbreeding. I've got a book by Pierre Brichard about the cichlids in Lake...

I live in garden grove, california and I am thinking about building a pond. If you are not familiar with california, I live south of LA about 2 hours from the mexican border. The pond I hope to build will be several thousand gallons. I'm thinking about 10*20 feet and about 3 feet deep, this is just...

I have a problem. My tank is 125gal. fire mouth-2 severum-1 blood parrot -2 pleco-1 otos -14 I need a good cleanup man (catfish) any suggestions? I might add a pair of convics or Juriparies (sp)

It appears that my female Labidochromis caeruleus has a mouthful of eggs. She is staying in one area of the tank, eating very little, and, her mouth appears to be "wrinkled". I am guessing she is holding eggs, not sure how long she has been doing so. At what point, if ever should I...

Posted to alt.binaries.aquaria on the weekend... I have more if anyone's interested. - Rob

Can we add Sea Buffer to our cichlid tank to boost the PH? Need to raise it significantly. Currently at 7.4. Anyone can you help? Terry

Hello, There is an article on www.oscarfish.com that advises a KH test kit is one of the important test kit to own (along with ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH). I was all set to buy one, but then I spotted some API pH Up (my pH tends to be on the lower side) and was thinking about buying this...

Any suggestions on who would carry petrified wood? I am looking to redecorate the tank with petrified wood and will need a few hundred pounds worth. Unfortunately, none of the landscape and stone supply places I called carry the stuff. The only LFS that carries petrified wood has a very limited...

Just a thought, why "rec.aquaria.freshwater.cichlids" and not just "rec.aquaria.cichlids" Or are there some marine cichlids I'm not aware of ?

we were saying... hi fishman, I did the same thing, but I just used a piece of piping. I don't know why so many people go to the trouble of sectioning off a corner.. it gets dirty is hard to clean, and it doesn't look any nicer than a discreetly placed piece of black pvc pipe.

One of my female Kenyi's dropped her brood a day or two ago.. Needless to say she seems to be a very good mother...Anyone comes by the tank, she tries to chase them off, she stands gaurd by her brood like a gaurd.. Never seen my other Malawi's do such an impressive job... -- Tim...

i have a 20 gal. with mbuna in it. the past week or so, my yellow lab had been sort of affectionate toward my bumblbee (m. Crabro). that had cooled down some, but my yellow lab (which i was 90% sure was a male) now appears to be holding. i am pretty sure this cannot be true, since it is the only...

Help..... I can't find any plastic egg crate for building my trickle filter. I'd gladly paypal some cash to someone that would ship me some. I need two pieces, 12 in. x 12 in. each.

I set up a small tank for keeping shell dwellers, I got male ocellatus yesterday, the color was absolutely stunning, but soon he'd just lay on the sand, a couple of hours he wouldn't move is pectoral fins, I came home a few minutes ago and now I had to take him from the tank because he was dead,...

I now have a second batch of Kenyi bab's.. The second girl spit out her batch today.. I have only counted 14 fry from this one.. She might have more to spit out though.. Only two left to go carrying.. Another Labiochromis (EL) and the OB Peacock... -- Tim.

Do cichlids usually stay near the bottom? I just got a new 30 gal. tank and I decided to go with cichlids. I have just a few plant decorations in there and they are pretty low. I plan to do a lot more decorations. I know cichlids need some cover, but I wasn't sure if they would move up and down...
