Thanx. Golden Mbuna = Melanochromis auratus

And can i add acei and how many of them?

Oh and when can I put in some more and how much?

Great thanx- so the Golden Mbuna is a no go? Could I perhaps wait to see if they are female? I have a 5' tank.

I have a 100gallon thats been circulating for 3 months and decided to make it a Malawi tank. Being used to other freshwater fish, i didnt realise mixing species would be such a problem and of course the guy at my LFS either didnt care or didnt know, so now i have: 3 pseudotropheus socolofi 2...

Ah yes thats it, thank you Wiggles! Unfortunately I had to fetch the 4 black widows and 2 glass catfish today from the guy Im getting the tank from so I had to put them with the others in my tank and "My tank syndrome" is a good explanation of whats going on... My precious Angel is not acting so...

Thanx :)

Oh yes i should have updated... The tank comes with a few more tankmates but I found a new home for all of them plus my bala sharks, so what i kept from the new tank is 4 black widow tetras and 2 glass catfish. So now im left with those and the angel, the cory and 4 mountain minnows. That leaves...

As far as I know some fish can become dominant and agressive, like angels for example. Is I said in my post I want to know if its fine the way i want to do it, to add two females for my male angel etc. also im adding new fish and my current fish to a new tank, is that ok, is the numbers in the...

Oh wait, I see what you mean now, no the tank would already be cycled once I introduce them.

Basically I am moving the fish I already have to a bigger, 100G tank. I only have 1 cory and as they are schooling fish I wanted to get 2 more... Ps its one of those small albino corys with the red eyes. My little guy seems very happy at the moment but I think he needs buddies!

I am getting a 100G tank next week and now Im wondering what should i introduce first. I have: 4 black widows -(8 inches) 2glass catfish- (6 inches) 1 cory- 2 inch 1 male marble angel- 6 inches 4 mountain minnows-8 inch = 30 inches total I am thinking of adding 2 female Angels and 2 corys =...

Oh yes and librarygirl all the parameters are fine and what I meant about the tap water is that he never told me to put chlorinator in it!!?? So i didnt do that for the first two months eek.. Im surprised so many of them survived. Only a month ago did I read online about that and went and bought...

Thank you for your advice! Believe it or not, but I may be getting a 100G tank now! I found a great second hand one online from someone that lives very close to me and is immigrating overseas. It has an H2O external canister filter aswell. I just need the best for my Angel... I love him to bits...

I bought a 60litre (13gallon?) tank about 3 months ago and I must admit I made a big mistake by trusting the shop ownwer to know everything! I didnt do my homework beforehand cause I thought he would know best, being in the business for 35 years and all so I ended up with the wrong fish. At...
