    Neolamprologus caudopunctatus

    I've been growing these out in a 20 gal high for months now. We picked up a bag of 6 at a club meeting and ended up with 5. Based on size and coloration, I believe we have 2 males and 3 females. The largest 2 fish are about 2", so they have a ways to go to max adult size, but they have started...

    120 gallon Tanganyika tank: Tropheus are 2 weeks in.

    Well, as it turns out, our cylindricus are jerks and killed 4 out of 6 Cyprichromis leptosoma. Lesson learned. We still have all the synodontis, at least. :facepalm: I came across a few bags of Tropheus duboisi Maswa that I just had to have... and I ended up with 14 for a stupidly low price...

    My little divas: I have discus!

    A local breeder showed up at our monthly club meeting with 3 bags of young discus today and I got 2 bags of them for a price I could not refuse. I ended up with 6 to grow out. I haven't kept discus in a while, and I've never started with fish this small (about 1.5"). They are Stendker/Santarem...

    I got new ink today :)

    I'm planning for something larger in the future, but in the meantime I wanted my inner right wrist tattooed with a stylized version of Charles Darwin's 1837 notebook sketch of the "tree of life"... over 20 years before the revised tree of life in "On the Origin of Species". The original sketch...

    For Sale: Tangerine tiger shrimp

    The weather is warming up nicely here over the weekend so I'd like to ship these out next week. Tangerine tigers are easy to keep and breed. You CAN keep these with your Neocaridina shrimp (RCS, yellows, blue pearls, etc.) without the risk of interbreeding. Do NOT keep with other Caridina that...

    Overhauling 120 gallon Tanganyika tank, pic heavy

    It's going to be a long process as I collect enough TX holey rock to replace the river rock, but first things first, our replacement for the 3' actinic light has arrived! This is a 60"x18" tank so it's going to be a big improvement for us, although the fish actually seem to like the actinic...

    So many ID threads.

    I'm seeing so many ID threads lately in this subforum. While plenty of members are more than willing to lend a hand with fish IDs, I think it's important to mention that purchasing a fish without knowing what it is, is most often a bad idea. I believe this to typically be the case for...

    For Sale: Fish and Shrimp, nice stuff!

    Hi all, I've been going a little stir crazy with this awful weather lately, and now that it's warming up I'm itching to ship some fish out of here! All fish are healthy, active, and eating like pigs. I ship within the contiguous US only. I use Priority or Express mail (your choice) and...

    New fish and surprise eggs!

    Well, I've once again managed to get some extremely nice fish from my local club that I would never see in a pet store. :) Yesterday I picked up a breeding trio of Protomelas sp. steveni Taiwan. The male is a big boy at around 6" or so. Females are quite a bit smaller at around 4". According to...

    Help me choose dithers for Krobia xinguensis tank!

    Hey all, I have what I believe to be a trio of Krobia xinguensis. These are really cool fish that are pretty rare, only I can barely even see them most of the time because they are so shy. They eat aggressively, but I'd like for them to be out more. Tank is a 46 gallon bowfront. I'm debating...

    For Sale: The perfect package for a peaceful planted tank!

    Alliteration win! :D Now that I have your attention... I was tearing down tanks in the fishroom today and I've got a few things that I need to sell that would be perfect for a low light planted tank. You're going to get a starter colony of MTS to keep your substrate aerated (at least 50 snails...

    For Sale: 29 gallon tanks

    Video: New Labidochromis hongi 'red top'

    Picked up this bag of "six" at the Atlanta auction this past Sunday for a ridiculously good price. The bag of "six" turned out to be a bag of eleven! I've never been an Mbuna keeper, and my only experience with Mbuna is through the 2 fish store jobs that I've had. They are a lot cooler than I...

    For Sale: Easy low light plants

    Hi all, I have some plants available and can ship anywhere in the contiguous United States. I ship via Priority mail and will do this as cheaply as possible, most likely by package weight rather than flat rate. I ship plants in boxes. If you are under 18, please get permission from your...

    Free: MTS - instant colony

    Just pay $6 for a Priority mail small flat rate box. MTS are great for burrowing into your substrate in your tank and cleaning up any uneaten food, and they will not eat your plants. As you can see in the photo, there are at least 50 in the bag, probably more like 75. PM for my PayPal info if...

    Rebuilding fishroom... follow our progress here :)

    We've been trying to finalize plans for the fishroom rebuild for some time now. For those who didn't know, the room itself is a converted 2 car garage (25'x 18'). There are a lot of things that we are changing and it's going to be a huge project, but totally worth it in the end to have...

    Might want to check out your local Petsmart

    I stopped in today to buy some rabbit food and they had the Aqueon Evolve 8 on clearance for 39.99. It was 50% off of their regular price. They had a bunch of their smaller kits on sale as well. Might be worth a look for someone that wants another nano. :P

    Picking these up next weekend

    And we'll be off to a good start on redoing the fishroom. I can't wait!
