very nice Ant..I love the blue and red rainbows. Think we are gonna need to make a trade, some Ilangi for the blue rainbows when mine start breeding

first of all the come from different lakes that have different water parameters. Secondly the mbuna are a lot more aggressive than the fronts.

all good quality yellow labs should have a black dorsal fin

Tannins aren't harmful. Try doing a water change first If you want crystal clear water add some chemi pure ( a very good carbon that lasts 6 months) and some seachem purigen into your filter. You can also use polishing pads or aquarium safe quilt batting or floss to trap the finer particles in...

do you have them in egg tumblers?

which is a carnivore also known as malawi trout, even furthering my point about different dietary needs between the fish.

what kind of food are you feeding? I would feed them some veggie flakes it might be easier for them to get to

if its a female holding sometimes you can see the fry in her mouth. It will also look like she is chewing gum. It could also be bloat

I'm misinformed? LOL ok where do I start..you said they all get along just fine, there is more to it than that. The fronts have different water parameters, needing much higher ph than the malawi mbuna or peacocks. Fronts need more protein in their diet than mbuna. Mbuna need rockwork in that...

demasoni can be kept with other mbuna. You need to have a large group of them so they spread out aggression. 12 or more are recommended. They mix quite well with yellow labs, and the color contrast looks really nice

wrong. Different species have different needs. Mbuna will need different water parameters than Tropheus from lake Tanganyika. Peacocks and Haps will have different dietary needs than mbuna or tropheus. Mbuna need lots of rocks peacocks do not. There are lots of reasons why certain fish should...

the first thing to always do is a water change and see if that helps, don't just assume things are fine because your water parameters look good. Was this tank fully cycled? how long has this tank been up and running? Change any of the filters? I told you 3 days ago in your other thread about...

i think I want you to make me some lol...looks great. Spray paint is safe inside a fish tank?

go get some metro, it could be bloat.

any spots on the fish? torn fins? fish look bloated? what foods are you feeding? try feeding them and see if they eat

this is common for mbuna, it happens all the time. This is why you need 1 male for every 3-4 females so that the aggression is spread out. Remove her from the tank and let her heal up. Add some aquarium salt.

my ph is 7.8 from the tap and all fish have always adapted just fine. I never kept discus or fish that need really low PH though

+1 run both together. Depending on the size tank I would leave both, more filtration is better

yea it was tough, I raised her from a pup and she was with me for 9 years. It's sad they don't live longer because they truly do become part of the family. I have my own home and and 5' fenced in backyard and plenty of vet references so that won't be an issue. Thanks for those links Tree..I...

59 degrees i would be in the back yard BBQ'ing with shorts and a tee shirt

Hey everyone, I know this is an aquarium forum but I thought I'd give it a shot anyway. Does anyone on here have puppies? or work for a rescue? I'm having a hard time finding a pup here in NJ, most of the dogs in the shelters here are adult pitbulls (I don't mind pitties but my family is scared...

tank looks great

just acclimate them to the new PH slowly, they will adjust to the higher PH as long as you don't have really sensitive fish

could be holding or getting picked on by the other fish. Just keep an eye on her

thanks Jen for doing this little experiment, hopefully this will help prove to some people that these products do not work. For a few dollars (or free at a good LFS) you could of got some seeding material and your tank would be cycled by now. I really hope they give you a refund. These companies...
