the trets i had got NASTY once they matured even just when they first started to mature. its definitely possible to could work in my opinion but its kinda a shot in the dark

woukldnt the pH be an issues with the barbs and cichlids? i would think so.... i mean over the long run because there really isnt a mutual pH range is there?

my experience with cichlids both s.a, new age, and african cichlids is snails dont last long. the apple snail lasted the longest in my s.a. and new age cichlid tanks. the african cichlids you run into the issues with the pH. as far as i know though no snail really took the onslaught my cichlids...

yeah i tried keeping even the different lakes out of my tank... my pH is actually 8.7 dump some salt in and id have a good dsalt water tank lol. its steady and such.... i thought so tho.... thank u for verifying my suspicions... i thought i was giving out wrong advice to people seeeeee...

Ok now it is to my knowledge that you are not ot mix african cichlids and south american cichlids... One of the reasons.... BESIDES the difference in water parameters... was an example i was given This had to do with the pike cichlid where the african cichlids are not used to being around such...

i am a big advocate of Fluval filters. I have the 404 and it does one hell of a job. My cascade... i have ZERO to say about. it is pretty terrible actually in my own opinion. I have no personal experience with an ehiem but i have heard GREAT things about them. But i will push the fluval.

i always recommend a fishless cycle. i always encourage cycling using bio-spira tho soooooo a months cycle isnt really needed

I have african cichlids.... my pH is 8.5 there isnt a pleco that i know of that would survive in that pH

ok sweet stuff. my tabnks its by the window it has t-5 lighting. makes my fishes colors stand out more

Wont crayfish just eat the left over food and any decaying matter on the bottom of the tank? I didnt have a blue crayfish but i bought a plain brown one that eventually turned blue. I asked about it and it had something to do with the water and i was told i shouldnt be alarmed at it. BUT my...

Ok so i need some advice on controlling brown algae here. I have a african cichlid tank. I have an all sand substrate and texas holey rock (carved limestone) in it. So this brown algae is killing my theme. The all white really makes my colorful fish stand out! So i took out all my rocks and...

i believe it was mentioned earlier... as a axolotyls

Looks like you have some teawater. This isnt nesscessarily a bad thing. To my knowledge it doesnt hurt the fish. The driftwood may actually of been the cause of the teawater. Some people actually prefer the look of this. You however dont seem to be one of them... obviously There are several...

Sand no matter what you do is gonna be to small to gravel vac... anything that is big enough to gravel vac would be considered gravel. Alot of my friends tried the half sand half stone sandy stoney look and its real nice at first but the sand all just eventually settles beneath the rocks in all...

i reccommend the emperor basically because with my experience with the aquaclears.... to put it bluntly.... they are terrible! other ppl may have had better experiences with me, but i found they are worthless. I liked mine just to put ceramic rings in for biological filtration... but anything...

the arrogance of ppl is dumbfounding sometimes. bf's of girls especially in my opinion. but thats a different topic i am not gonan go into seems as how it has nothing to do with aquarium keeping... but i could definitely go off in a 30 page tirade about that

i personally only have a 29 gallon tank and i have a canister filter rated for 70 gallons, and two on the back each rated for 30 gallons. I have been told there is no such thing as overfiltration. My canister filter has nothing but ceramic rings in it for biological filtration and my bio-wheel...

ouch! i think i may downgrade this tank to a 29 gallon or a 42 bowfront. i had no idea planted tanks were THIS expensive. cuz if i do it im gonna go all out. im not gonna do a half assed job. it seems like as much work as a reef tank actually. but im up for the challenge. I have an african...

yeah loaches are definitely great hiders. When i had my yoyo loach it hid in the substrate and under the decorations and in my driftwood. they are wiley little suckers! dont count it out yet tho

snails should do the job. they are sold at pond supplie stores. at least thats where i got mine

yeah i didnt even think of that. it def looks like a golden barb. but good luck cuz once again im gonna say dont quote me on it... hopefully someone who knows livebearers better will comment on this thread
