We'll shoot for Friday afternoon sometime. Ill mssg u my cell #

If its before 2 on Friday that would work. Wednesday or thursdays are better for me tho. I can give you between 6 and 9 yellow labs (depends on how hard they are to catch)

Sure, how many does he want? We'll have to set something up

You definatly don't wana mix demasoni they're evil lil fish and will destroy the yellow labs. Demasoni are expensive and go on killing sprees. Yellow labs are a more docile mbuna species. If you like the look of demasoni consider the redtop black bar zebra. I have 6 of them, they look similar...

I don't think it has to do with your filters at all. Maybe someone else on here knows better? My guess is the natural sunlight through the blinds, it doesn't take much to cause algae.

Something a little more agressive in a 25, idk. I've always wanted to try brackish water and planted tho and a 25 is a good starter size. Ill look in one of my books the next day or so and let you know on semi agressive fish for a tank that size.

Definatly never buy fish from walmart.

Sorry its probably not your pic, I'm on the forum on my phone so can't see that well.

Is it a sunny room?

Really you'll probably get tired of constantly having babies and having to take care of them. Its neat for awhile but eventually you'll just leave them in the big tank and let nature take it course. Lol. That's what happened to me.

No I just did it to make them happy. Also you don't need gravel in tank if you don't want it, it just helps keep your good bacteria built up. Also a weird thing about platies and guppies in my grow out 5 gal they always seemed to grow slower than the ones in the main tank. Idk if the small tank...

Algae is a plant and cannot survive without light. Even though you are keeping the light off is the tank in a room that recieves a lot of sunlight?

That should be fine, I used to constantly try to take care of baby guppy and platy fry... but they breed like crazy n finally traded in all the females to stop the endless babies. I have a 5 gal that I used for fry. Throw some gravel/sand or whatever you have from your main tank to boost the...

+1 on the 55 gallon minimum. There are tons and tons of different species of chiclids they are one of the most diverse fish around. Mbuna are algea eating cichlids from africas rift lakes and make up the majority of assorted african cichlids you see at petsmart (although I would look elsewhere...
