The problem with Mandarins is that they mainly eat pods. Some will eat prepped food like frozen brine shrimp, but it's rare. They also eat a lot. A LOT. From what I've been told by people much more knowledgable than me, and from my own observation, if the Mandarin eats flatworms... it's more on...

I just posted this in another thread for you, but that was before I saw this thread. Check it out, discusses the Mg method. http://www.reeffrontiers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25498&highlight=bryopsis

Devilish... Check out this thread from another forum, may help with your bryopsis problem. http://www.reeffrontiers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25498&highlight=bryopsis

Yes, the cichlids were moved. I think you were right about them getting used to being the big fish now. They seem to be getting more active, though they still like that corner. Unfortunately... one of them died today while I was at work. Sad.... :(

My Kenyi looked like (similar to) those blue ones when they were small. You may have gotten those. But I'm not sure, the pics are blurry. And like you said, several blue ones look very similar.

I have a 30gal cube. Recently I had: 6 Tiger Barbs 3 Kenyi cichlids 3 Yellow Labs 1 Common Pleco 1 Pictus cat Well I just moved the cichlids and the pleco to their new 150gal home. And I gave the Pictus to my sister. I added 3 cherry barbs, 3 gold barbs, and 3 albino corys. (they're all very...

That is what you asked, right? ::goes to check and see if he made a mistake::

Do they charge a million dollars for shipping? Similar sized pieces of real driftwood go for 30 - 50 dollars at my lfs(s).

Yes it's slate, and I stole it from my mom's house. Haha. (I didn't really steal it)

Ok, so here's my tank setup so far. (excuse the poor quality... all I have is a camera phone) ViaAqua 150 gallon glass aquarium and stand. (Model 180 I believe) This came with a hood that holds 6 25w 14000k florecent bulbs. And a wet/dry filter with 5 chambers. 2- 300w ViaAqua Titanium...

And at that point I could remove the rubberband, right?

One more question. For Java Moss... do I need something like Eco-Complete? Or would just sand be fine? And do they need to be fertilised? (ok, so I lied about the one question thing)

Bah! That means more money. Oh well.... Thanks for the help!

1) I have a 150 gallon tank, I don't want it heavily planted. Just some Java Moss, and maybe some Anubias (sp?) The hood that came with it is currently holding six 14000k 25w florecents (sp again?). Is that enough lighting? 2) Would CO2 injection be required for this? Oh, and the plants...

Recently, I actually semi-educated the guy who runs the fish section at my Walmart. You know, basic stuff as far as care and some fishe's that could not be mixed. Also which ones require large tanks. He was glad for the advice. He said that when he was hired, they just stuck him back there and...

Try looking here. Maybe you'll find it.

What type of barb? I know that Tiger Barbs, when there's only one in the tank, tend to be really agressive. They're also fin nippers. So watch the Angel. Barbs, from my experience (and what I've read on here) are best kept in schools. They're also less agressive towards other fish when in...

Is the reason they can't be mixed due to agression? Or more with water parameters? Bah! I like the colors in the Malawi Cichlids, but the others are so interesting looking. Bah I say! Maintenance doesn't concern me as setup and taking care of the fish are my favorite parts. I should probably...

Ok, tell me if this will work. 150 gallon tank. 3 Yellow Labs 3 Cobalt Blues 3 Aceis 1 Frontosa 1 Tiger Oscar 2 Syndontis Eupterus 1-2 Common Plecos

I keep bringing this thread back... sorry. Haha. Figured it's better to keep everything in one thread than to start new one's all the time. Ok... So I bought a really nice 150gallon. My new questions are. Are there any fish/snails/whatever, that will airate my sand? And that wont be eaten by...

I have the zebras.

Sorry, haven't been on for awhile. It looks like I have two male yellows, and two male cobalts. One female for each. The female cobalt is the dominant fish. I'm only guessing they are males. The females I know for sure because they've both released fry. Do male cobalts have darker stripes...

I feel silly now about the "all males" thing. Found out tonight that at least two are female, and are having babies/fry/spawn.... And none have been hurt so far. Mostly just chasing, but one of my Cobalts has been fighting one of the Yellows. Not much, but it's increasing in frequency. I will...

For the time being, they are in a 35. They're fine for now, but I know I need something bigger. The sooner the better. The reason I said they were males is because a friend of mine (who lives for cichlids) said they were. I asked if he was sure and he claimed he was a 100% on it. I would be...

Sorry about starting another Cichlid topic, but the search turned up about a million different threads. (might be a slight exageration) I have six cichlids. Three Electric Yellows, and three Cobalt Blues. They all appear to be male. So here's my questions. 1) They're growing faster than I...
