ID Questions Kinda looks like my kenji......but your fishes colors are more pronounced! I agree with your last post for the ID though . Enjoy !

Fry Feeding They are little Kenyi's......cute little suckers! Thanks for the advice....:fish2:

Have some new 3 day old fry. Bought some Hikari first bites, (like baby powder). My question is ....how often should I be feeding these cute little buggers? They seem to luv the stuff !

Bloat Sorry for the sickness (bloat) in the Convict.....I hate to lose any living thing. But what exactly causes "bloat".

Hey all you experts out there......just had a new Kenyi mom spit out about three to four squigglers this morning.....seemed like forever since I found her chewing bubble gum in the corner. Anyway....it looks like she is still holding. Is this normal ? Will she eventually spit the rest? I sure...

Never Satisfied I agree.....just finished new 55 and I am already looking into a 125 ! Caught the bug ...again....and can't stop !

Help I'll try Andrew. Thanks for your help. Don't have a good camera , only I-phone. Another member said it could be a Kenyi...(spelling) ?

No....not yet....I'll let you know . Thanks again !

Found one of my Mbuna's holding this morning. Not sure of her official species name. Could someone help me out, please? I will try and get some good pics but she is very evasive right now. She will be isolated in a 30 gallon...her original home. Her tank mates are being moved to a new 55 as I...

Hey Guys and Gals, I am still kinda new to cichlids after a 35 year lay-off....but it looks like one of my Mbuna's is holding, (from my past experiance). I will try and upload some pics.

Excavating Cichlids It is amazing how much sand and shells that they can move in one night ! They are persistant little buggers...I must say . I enjoy watching for hours on end !

New Stand Beautiful job on the stand "Dad" ! Wish my Dad was still around to enjoy my tanks.....he used to enjoy them for hours at a time. Your right.....having a Dad that can build things is priceless.....enjoy him while he is still with you. Believe me ...you will miss him when he is gone!

So...I knew this would happen. Wanted to get back into cichlids again after a 35 year hiatus and had an old 30 long just waiting for some guests to make it home. After a month cycle.....parameters perfect, and a small stock list.......and after stocking and enjoying them for three months...I...

More Tanks I've got the bug also.....I just purchased a 55 from "PetSmart" for $149.95....Including heater, filter, hood and light set up. Thought that was a pretty good deal. I think I will upgrade the filter system though.......the one it comes with is sub-par.....IMO. Is this a good deal or...

Recipes This is a great link to make some excellent, and different cichlid foods. I love it. Thank you Andrew !

Hiding Yes...give them more time. I did'nt see my firemouth for about 2 weeks! Now he is the first to great me, morning and evening feeding times. The "hungry" dance they do now is comical ! I have got to put it to music ! They will come around...be patiant !

Black Sand I myself love the look of the black sand > Is that just regular silica sand used for sandblasting? Sorry if it's a dumb question !

New 40 Great looking tank......sounds a little crowded for a 40 though! Just sayin.......

Background Love the set-up . Beautiful.......If you don't mind me asking how did you make that backdrop........that is mint looking ! I would love that look behind my 55 long ! And so would the "Kids". Oh and sorry I can't help you with the ID on this fish...but I do Have his/her twin ...

Stunting Great article Andrew......hope a lot of the members get a chance to read this or at least know about this. I find this forum priceless when it comes to raising and enjoying healthy "Africans". I have only been back into Cichlids for two months after a 35 year layoff, and have already...
