just googled flame moss and it looks awesome! good luck with that. for the others i'm not planning on making a carpet, but more so some moss balls semi trimmed to the smooth rocks that they are attached to.

yeah i plan to keep them semi trimmed to the shape of the rocks. kinda want some little puff balls. thanks for the trimming tip!

has anyone else done this with success?

This is my first attempt at any kind of plant. I used mesh from a craft store and wrapped some java moss to each rock with it. I will update with any problems or progress. Any general info on java moss is greatly appreciated.Thanks!

Synodontis euptera or synodontis nigrita would be my guess. Both look very similar and are very popular in fish stores. If is was labeled as lace catfish or synodontis lace is is probably nigrita. probably Synodontis euptera now that i look closer with the really high dorsal fin.

On the night I do my 90% wc to get my nitrAtes to a safe level do I not need to add anymore ammonia to keep the bb alive overnight until I add fish? Thanks.

haha yeah right as i said that i re read the bottle. Yeah ill just save it thank you for your help.

shook the H out of those bottles and no difference.

Thank you. I have aqueon water conditioner and prime. Should i avoid using prime during the cycle because it removes nitrites and ammonia?

I have shaken according to directions, but maybe should do it a bit better. My ph started at about 8.2-8.3 now it is down to 7.6-7.8

I have been fishless cycling for just over 4 weeks now. have been following the Almost Complete guide to it from this forum almost to a T. For the past two weeks my ammonia has been getting eaten.(slowly at first and now within 12 hours) . My nitrites seem to be a bit lower they were off the...

I actually went to the LFS yesterday and talked to a guy who was suggesting I do some tanganyikan tank too, but he suggested i could get a half dozen haps(don't remember what kind he said) and then fill in the rest with some tanganyikans. Also he was pushing for me to use a buffer for my ph, but...

so is there any fish i can keep? ;)

what if I did rustys with tiger barbs and a small syno cat or two? If yes what kind of numbers would I be looking at?

Yeah i don't mind a black background, but i have a few friends with them and you can see anything floating in the water even bubbles which i find annoying. Also the blue brightened up the room a bit as I am using it for a piece of furniture not just a tank on a metal stand in my room or something.

Thank you for being constructive. Are the saulosi pretty widely available?

If you read all the posts you would realize that i'm open to dwarf mbunas.

just thought i'de post a photo to give be an idea of what we're working with. 7 really good caves in all and other hiding behind the rocks.

thank you. If some dwarf mbunas a widely available I am not against them at all.

thanks a lot. the afra cobue looks awesome. Are they pretty hard to find tho? at least for you?

we can all agree that what happened in One tank doesn't mean much for the thousands of other tanks out there.

I was using the video for the example of the fish not the content. i'm not arguing im just expressing what i have been told and what i have read to get your opinion on it. that's too bad about your tank, but it seems to be a pretty extreme case.

wouldn't having one be hyper dominate be better if it was with more fish? as in there would be more fish for the aggression to be spread out upon? I totally get what you're saying and appreciate the input, but from what I understand yellow labs, aceis,and red zebras are Some of the more calm...

not saying its right or wrong just saying it has been done and it has worked.
