I wish I was close to Texas! It's cold up here....

$80 for the whole setup... - 15lb CO2 tank (about 1/2 to 3/4 full) - Dual guage regulator - Clippard needle valve Pickup only in Lindenhurst, NY (Long Island)

Thanks!

The camera is not very good (Olympus SP500UZ) and I am not a very good photographer.....just lucky I guess. I plan to upgrade to a full DSLR at some point, but for now I'll just settle for taking 100 pics to get maybe 2-3 good ones. Here's are some full tank shots: 125G 75G

Kinda got carried away with the the camera over the weekend... :lol:

Nope, the hormones temporarily show the fish's potential......what it could possibly look like. Sometimes they hormone the females enough that they are colored up like a mature male. In those cases, the fish would never regain the hormoned coloring. Hormones are just a way to make the fish look...

Wait... If they had that much color at 1.5", then your fish were most likely hormoned. The color lasts just long enough for you to see the fish and want to buy it.....then it fades away. It'll eventually come back, but it takes some time (and growth) to get them to color up again. Don't expect...

1. Check your water parameters. Hiding fish is normally an indication that something isn't right (holding females excluded) 2. If there isn't any traffic around the tank on a regular basis, the fish will get spooked when someone walks by. Are they hiding when someone approaches the tank or are...

Very nice Ps. Saulosi juvies in the 1.5-1.75" range. Parents are WCxF1. Father is pictured below. These are some beautiful fish with really nice barring. They have been raised on NLS Growth and Omega One Super Veggie Kelp Flakes. Price is 6 for $25 (local pickup in Suffolk County, NY). Other...

These are some very nice M. Aurora juvies in the 2" range. Pic below is of the stunning F1 dad. These fish have been raised on NLS Growth and Omega One Sper Veggie Kelp flakes. Price is 6 for $30 (local pickup in Suffolk County, NY). Other shipping methods are available at additional cost to...

Moving the rocks while a female holding is not a big deal. At times I'll have 5-6 females holding at once, but only need to strip 2 or 3 of them. That means moving a lot if not all of the rocks. The remaining holding females aren't affected at all...

After 18-21 days, the fry should be developed enough to strip. Waiting 28 days will most likely result in the female spitting before then or becoming dangerously thin from a lack of food. I always strip in that 18 to 21 day period. Once you do this enough, you won't have to actually witness a...

Thanks, Rich.....hey are you planning on going to AFISH?

UPDATE! This tank has been recreated as a 75G Malawi tank. It is no longer a Saulosi species tank since I've added a few more species to the tank. A few pics that were taken about a month ago. Stock List 4 Labeotropheus Trewavase "West Thumbi Island" 4 Labidochromis sp. "Mbamba" 8...

Quite a few people have made those.....not a big deal. The only problem I have is with placing on the the intake side of the filter. That would cause it to get clogged wth debris....not to mention the cavitation it would create in the filter itself. It's much better to place it after the filter...

I seriously doubt the rocks would cause a diatom outbreak. Your diatom issue more than likely stems from high phosphate and/or silicates from your substrate. If you're using any kind of silica sand (play sand, pool filter sand, etc.) you're going to have silicates in the water. This is usually...

With mbun, the amount of protein is not the issue, it's the type of protein you're giving them. They need something that is more easily digested (bloodworms aren't). You can give them shrimp, but worms are a no-no. As far as the schedule is concerned, I feed everyday (sometimes twice a day). I...

I agree. Find a local landscaping supply and you can get rocks a lot cheaper than that. There are landscping supply yards all over Long Island. Finding one near you should not be a problem....

Some recent aquisitions I've gotten, courtesy of some of the good people at NYCichlids.com Labeotropheus Trewavase "Mpanga Red" Male One of 3 females Metriaclima Aurora Big, beautiful male (no pics of the dull female)

I've had the opposite problem with actinic lighting. I think it causes more algae.....at least that's been my experience.

LOL! I think the Keyhole is a little "loose'. She used to flirt with a Clown Loach before then. I think she just likes a little variety :)

I would get rid of the bumblebees (Ps. crabro) asap.....they get big and are more trouble than they're worth. They will eventually wreak havoc in a tank that size. The Zebras will get big as well and can be pretty aggressive in their own right. You may want to look into some of the smaller...

46 Gallon Bowfront fish tank in very good condition. It was used for freshwater, but I guess it can also be used for a saltwater setup. It is not RR. This setup is in used but good condition. The only blemishes are two very small cracks in the top molding (see pic below) and some very light...
