Yep the parents are very protective,but i should have mentioned that i was meaning the fry in a tank after being seperated from parents.

Hi this may be a silly question but could anyone tell me if large bristle nose catfish could or would eat 1week old red forrest jewel fry?

Depends on how big the koi are & how small the frogs are.They will 100% eat any tadpoles.

Thanks again everyone.

Im liking the idea of sand of some sort.never used it before but sounds cool.Being here in Australia i may have to find diff brands/sources etc but shouldnt be a biggy. Was in the states last year & very jelous of the range & quality of products & fish.We have been flooded by cheap Chinese...

Your tank looks good mate.I have protomelas sp steveni taiwan (taiwan reef), protomelas taeniolatus (red empress) metriaclima pulpican(kingsizei), labidochromis sp hongi, auloncara dragon blood, sciaenochromis fryeri(electric blue), pseudotropheus acei(yellow tail) & some "mixed peacocks"...

Heaps big enough for koi mate!!

I will be getting a 6x2x2 to replace my 4x2x3 soon & wouldnt mind getting some opinions on the best substrate to show off my mixed African lakes cichlids. Im planning on running a combo of white & blue lights.was thinking of a dark,even black substrate? what do you guys think??

Got to love different view points.Thanks to everyone's ideas.Ive got some research to do by the looks of things.

Yeh i use a product by aquasonic called rift lake water conditioner.its just salt & minerals.also hardens the water & helps keep ph up.

Thats really cool to know.Thanks

Thanks for that.I noticed that my two yellow tail acei "pseudotropheus sp acei" were the first to do it & then over a couple of weeks several of the others joined in.?? Being new to cichlids but not so new to aquariums i guess ill just keep an eye on them.Thanks again.

Hi,just noticed over the last few days that alot of my cichlids(mixed african lakes) are darting down to the gravel substrat & kinda scratching thier sides??? I cant seem to see any visible signs of spots or any strange growth ect.any tips/ ideas would be greatly appreaciated.

I agree.Marine is the pinical & am proud to say had mine to the point of being so established that testing was only done out habbit as opposed to need.must admit living two minutes from a marine national park helped!! great water.

I kept marine tanks for years but have a 4year old & a 3year old who love getting VERY close to the glass & hence I had alot of moneys worth of fish hidding in the reef.My kids love the cichlids & I like how they have character & to be honest Im still amazed that I never really took an intrest...

Id love to have pirahnas as well but they are ilegal here in Australia. Ive never kept cichlids until two weeks ago so right now im super happy and fully into them.

Hi,I currently have a 4ftx2ftx3ft but am in the process of getting 6x2x2 & am planning on stocking it with mixed lake malawi cichlids with an emphisis on colour & a rocky/drift wood setting.

Some of my new African malawi cichlids. Tank is 4x2x3 but have a 6x2x2 on the way & will be switching over when i get the chance.

G'day, just joined your forum/site & thought i'd introduce myself & my fish to everyone. I live on the east coast of Australia,about an hour south of Sydney & have had an aquarium of some sorts since I was 8 years old.I have kept marine fish & reefs for the last 10 years but have just switched...
