Hey y’all, I adopted a 29 gallon FOWLR from my roommate today, and I’ve got to tell you that it’s in bad shape. It’s been set up for about a year and it’s seen a lot of death and disease. My roommate has now all but given up on it. Truth is told, I don’t think that he was ever really into it...

Hey y'all, I've know that I have been away too long, but circumstances have brought me back. And not necessarily in the way that I intended either. I like having some of the answers, but this time it's all new to me. I've been keeping Cichlids for the past five years or so, and up until...

I will be moving across country soon and it is just unfair to my fish to attempt moving them with us. The wife and I are sad that we have to let them go, but we both think that it will be in their best interest to find new homes. Cyphotilapia Frontosa (Halembe) “Neon Blue” 1 Medium Male, 1...

Does anybody have any ideas on a scavenger fish for my 80 gallon tank? Other inhabitants include 2 Neolamprologus Pulcher Daffodil with about 50 fry 7 Lamprologus Multifasciatus with about 13 fry 3 Tropheus sp. "Red" 1 Neolamprologus Cylindricus 1 Julidochromis Marlieri I need something...

I just got my monthly Aquarium Fish Magazine in the mail. I am so excited! Not only are Lake Tanganyika fish on the cover, but they have been given 7 pages! These are my favorite fish and do not receive the kind of recognition that I feel that they deserve. And now they have the cover. I have...

For all of y'all who were on chat the other night and heard about my $2,000.00 puppy... I have a update. But before I give it, let me bring everyone else up to date and fill in the rest of the story. The puppies name is Briar Rose and she is a Toy Rat terrier. She was named after the princess...

I have always believed that if a person is going to DIY and show it off, then extra attention should be taken to ensure that looks as good as possible. With that in mind, I proceeded to build this stand and canopy for a 10 gallon aquarium. This will soon be home to my first little reef set up...

I feel for for dad's tank right now. I just got off of the phone with him and we were talking about fish. He just saw mine on the internet so he wanted to tell me about his. He has a 29 gallon tank with 6 Tinfoil Barbs and a Bala Shark. He was saying that they are all about 6" now. Don't these...

What did I learn today? Today I learned not to attempt to drill a 10 gallon tank yourself. I have read sooo many articles and threads on how to drill a glass tank. I was prepared. I had the special (recommended) dremel bits, lots of water for cooling, and hours upon hours of reading on the...

They just keep coming! I just arrived home from work and went on to my nightly fish keeping chores. Lights, feeding, accountability, etc. And tonite in my 125 gallon tank were 4 little Chalinochromis sp. "Ndobhoi" wigglers in front of me. I didn't even know that they had spawned. And not just...

I heard for as long as I have kept African Cichlids that the Neolamprologus Pulcher Daffodils are very prolific. But I never expected this. I have another batch of fry right now. So this makes... 50 free swimming fry on 03/28/05 25 free swimming fry on 04/18/05 40 free swimming fry on 05/05/05...

I am wanting (ok needing) to upgrade some wiring for my tanks. I have been using electrical outlet strips and they are just not cutting it anymore. All of the current plugs are full, and on one of the tanks I have even had to run another extension cord for more plugs. Has anybody made their own...

Recently my son and I were in Austin TX, and we stopped by a usually pretty cool LFS. Knowing that I wanted a shell dweller species, I let him pick them out. He chose Multi's and I am happy with the choice. I love their personality. Alone in a tank were 5 of these cute little fish. I told my son...

Just thought that I would drop in and tell about our New Acquisition. Last night (Friday, first day of summer vacation for my 10 year old son) at about 2:00am the wife and I received a phone call from a friend who was hosting a slumber party for her son. It seems that the kids decided to give...

I just figured that I would show off this stand and canopy a little. It's a DIY that I finished a couple of months ago. It's all pine that I happened to have laying around the garage. So I am not really all that much money into it. About $20.00 for the hinges and polyurethane finish, and another...

Will anyone be attending the ACA convention in Fort Worth Texas this year? I'll be there. It will be Thursday, July 21, 2005 - Sunday, July 24th, 2005 at the Radisson Plaza Hotel in Fort Worth, Texas. Presented by the American Cichlid Association and the Texas Cichlid Association. info...

I just completed constructing a DIY LED moonlight for my 125 gallon tank. I bought a ledwerx.com kit off of ebay a couple of months ago and finally got around to building it today. And I have gotta tell y'all that it is a lot easier than I thought. Total time was about an hour and a half, but...
