Yeh he is a central heating engineer like me so hes got the money, he works hard on his pond and I no his electricity bill is high he told me its in the region of £200 a month to keep all his tanks and pond heated lol

Yeh I'm hoping build a pond next year for them so I can keep them, make a bit of money selling peacock bass fry, my mate sells his kelberi and temensis peacock bass for £15 a fish and he's got hundreds of them from this years spawn but he's also got a 10ft x 10ft x 5ft indoor pond lol and can...

Mine is 6ft x 2ft x 2ft and I've got 6 peacock bass in there and they will out grow my tank by end of next year lol

I no mate, how big is your tank ?

Staffordshire mate in the midlands :)

UK mate what about you ?

Massive water changes like discus, constant 30 degrees water temp, peacock bass are from the exact same region in the amazon as discus so require the same water condition, would be a good move I think peacock bass are awesome

Peacock bass all the way mate! Got 6 of them in my6ft tank they are brilliant it's a 900 litre set up with 5 ft sump they take a lot of work but are worth it I've had mine from fry at 1 inch big within 4 months they are now 6 inch if not bigger and colouring up nicely, I've got a friend who has...

No problem mate! Sit back and enjoy ! Your tank looks awesome good job! :)

Almond leaves also offer anti bacterial effects on fish. And with the dark water is a great look for a fish tank, my peacock bass fry absolutely love the dark water I wouldn't not use almond leaves now as they are brilliant

I use 100 leaves in my 6ft peacock bass fry tank brings out some great colours! Water goes like tea but the fish love it! :)

Gutted mate, the joys of eBay lol

I've just sold my 6ft marine tank and bought another larger tank, the tank is 6.5x2.5x2 ft 900 litre tank, 12mm thick glass I have been wanting a big tank with peacock bass in for a few years now, I have also got a 5x2x2 sump to go with the tank so the tanks water volume is 1300 litres. I have...

No worries get some pictures up as soon as you can mate :)

Harmless too the fish mate they are brilliant. I've filled tanks with 100+ leaves no problems

Don't forget these leaves float for about 48 hours, you are best using a clothes peg or a plant weight to hold them down and once they aren't floating you can arrange them across the bottom, good luck with it all :)

Takes around 4/5 weeks to degrade to the stalk, they aren't much I've just seen a large bag (20) of A grade almond leaves on eBay for £8. Once you are using them you will always use them, they are brilliant water conditioners

True but the majority of plec species do, and the 1s that don't still chew it up real good :)

eBay is the best place get them from really cheap also I buy them in bulk 100 or so leaves as I won't set up a tank without them

Almond leaves from the amazon, there really good, they provide anti fungal action and release loads of nutrients I filled my 90 gallon tank with them littered the bottom made it look really natural, they just rot away leaving the stalk, I wouldn't set a cichlids tank up without almond leaves...

Blue rams are lovely fish. Very sensitive too poor water conditions, I used to keep mine with discus not to sure with other fish, but you can give it ago trial and error that's how we all learn :) good luck!

Can you fit a sump tank underneath? This doubles water volume and keeps params more stable, also you can hook up an external filter too the sump so no pipe work on your main tank just overflow and return pipe, oscars are a messy fish and require really good filtration I bred them few years back...

Many cichlids prefer being in groups at a young age but as they mature they normally become solitary or a pair this is true with jaguars or Oscar cichlids

Plecs graze on bog wood. also it helps there digestive system stops them getting blocked up, so it's always a gd idea have a bit of bog wood in your tank if you own plecs :)

It slowly lowers ph I've never seen it in any of my cichlids tanks. But it's a really good water conditioner a fresh piece of bog wood leaches tannins which can help certain cichlids with spawning and adds nutrients to the water like almond leaves do. If it does soften the water it does it very...
