Are these not your words? Is what I said any different than your last sentence? Do these words not tell some critical info about how you took care of that Jewel?

True...that's why I usually get them smaller than the other fish.....

Yeah might try one if i can find the right size

Maybe that was the problem in your tank. I've always had the mbuna as the smallest fish in the tank. Until now the auratus is the only kind I've ever had. Now I have an auratus and a bumble bee. My jewels are almost twice the size of the auratus and one is a little bigger than the bee and...

I'm looking for a demasoni Myself. The few pet I've seen then in or only 2" or smaller and around $9. 3 to 4" are around $19 but i can't remember seeing one in a ps they always say they're hard to come by. I was gonna get one online but it would've been $55

Its a case by case thing i don't think its a guarantee. Was there a size difference with the two? How many fish were in the tank? What kind of tank were they in? Did the Mbuna have fry? Where there enough chill spots for all fish? Haha not trying to interrogate you but too many times people...

The tank has a jewel, T jewel, bumble bee and auratus female. Is a demasoni worse then auratus?

I know some say to do that to spread out the aggression but i wonder if that's a tank with only demasoni or mostly....do you know? Every time i see video of a tank with more than one they're always fighting each other hard. I'm thinking if I put one in a tank other fish the aggression would...

You can say that about many tank set UPS. Many people have 14+ African cichlids in a 55gal and say they're happy but i wonder if they are. I can only go by their actions and experience. No skin or scales are flying everyone looks pretty....they're eating well and always out. I'm not gonna...

I wanna add a demasoni any one i find at PSs in my area are too small. I was gonna get one shipped but out but the price jumped from $19.99 to $55 at check out so I'll just look around a little longer

Yeah you definitely want them displaying that curiosity. A little altercation every now and then is kinda the way of life for these fish IMO.....as long as it doesn't get too serious. I add pieces and remove pieces every now and then and move them around every now and then.

Yeah they can be calmer at times but definitely not soft. Jewels are one fish that I've been able to put with everything...I've had then successfully with jacks, convicts, mbunas, and more. I'm looking at my turquoise jewel right now...he keeps following around my bumble bee trying to pick a...

Does anybody else have experience with jewels and mbunas together? When i tell some people i have that in my tank they act like its impossible and should never be done but I've been doing it for over 15 years with. Also some seem to think jewels aren't very Hardy and can't hang with mbunas and...

I'm trying to find a Demasoni big enough to add.

I was gonna try livefishdirect.com to get a Demasoni of the right size shipped to me. The site is nice. They have good pics and some video. I was gonna get one for $19.99 but when i went to check out it jumped up to $55 so i decided I'll just look around my area for a while longer. So you...

Yeah I'm on the HOB train. I've never used the canister because of the cost and space they take up. I think more people are starting to see HOBs are versatile too. I use two Topfin 30s. I use the cartridge but I don't use the carbon. I place a 100mL bag of purigen on the clean water side of...

Yeah I'm thinking about mostly going off of flakes/crisps because it can get all over they tank and in every little nook and cranny. I think the sinking granules are more efficient especially if you have a bottom feeder. I can pretty much pick which area of the tank you want them to fall and...

Ok that makes since. So I'll put it behind the empty mesh cartridge. I have two Topfin 30s basic HOB. THANKS

I just received two 100mL bags from Amazon for $7 each so i will be doing the same with my 55gal. One last question. Do y'all think its ok to just place the bag on the dirty water side of the mesh filter cartridge instead of putting it inside the cartridge?

Cool thanks

I think the smallest the pre bagged ones come in is 100mL. The bottle says 250mL treats 250 gal. I have a 55 gal Is it ok to use 100mL which is like twice the prescribed amount? I was gonna put 30 mL in my two filters.

Ok. I think I'll just order a bag from Amazon. I got one the other day from a PS for $14. I need another one and don't know about the pantyhose thing. Thanks

For a HOB did you pour it straight into the filter like with carbon or did you put it in a filter bag and then put the bag into the filter? Also did you have to use the seachem bag? I was gonna try done aquaclear bags but I can't find how many microns their bag is. Seachem says the bag has to...

So what did you use?

Yeah i was just trying to save some cash. I guess I'll bring these bags back. Their bags look kinda heavy duty too. I was concerned that it combined with the filter bag mesh could affect water flow too.
