I found epsom, however i'm not sure it's callamanus anymore. There are no worms as i have read, but one fish does have a caved-in stomach (not TB), and i remember seeing stringy white feces a week back. Right now, i have the temp increasing to about 82', and then 84' the next day and finally...

Good then, i think i'll raise the temp to about 85 (should it fine for the fish i listed?). Epsom salt, available at your LFS?

Alright, and thanks very much! :)

Apocalypse, thank-you, i'll look into the two. Tolak, looking to Apocalypse's suggestions, and the ingredients, I noticed the Gel-Tek contains the metro. Would you agree with him? Both meds are cheap and seem easy enough to follow.

For Zagz, P. Electra, A. Jacobfreibergi, C. Azureus (or Chrysonotus, i'm not sure). I'm pretty sure they have Callamanus. Water is fine, fish displaying nothing out of the ordinary.

What is the best method for treating them? My fish have caught on and it would be appreciated if you could post the exact name of the med. Here's somewhere to browse for a good idea of what's available to me: www.bigalsonline.ca

Great then =) Though i don't have any plants to note too much salt addition...

Good for freshwater fish too? I bought some, and was assured it wouldbe fine for them, but then i read the ingredients, and there was salt. Will this mess up the water or will they be fine?

But lets say they start breeding, the most humane way to get rid of the babies is for them to get eaten, right? Could i add a D. Compressiceps to do this job?

Ya, no Labs. I didn't like how they weren't Peacocks. Without them, good?

My idea: 5 Electra, 4 Jacob, 4 C. Azureus, 6-8 L. Caeruleus (As recommended by an expert on another site) Good? Bad? Any input?

For the Electra, it could have been the Blue Hongi, but the juvie had a little more black showing. Lemon Jacobfrebergis are like Eurekas, except the red is yellow. (As far as i know, they were juvies in the store, so they had very little colour. Are only males 'amazing'?) A store right beside...

Happy to say, i went to my dfs (Distant fish store) and found both of these dreamy fish for sale. And pretty cheap! One thing i did not like though, was that the Electra's eyes looked too big, almost stunted. They were small, 1.5", so i don't know, maybe they're supposed to be fairly large as...

I'm getting ready to add the fish either this or next week. I'm set on a C.Moorii colony, but i would like to know if 6 would be fine a 90 gallon? I heard that they will be, and also heard that they will be fine at first, but eventually outgrow my tank, after many years though. Just need...

Well, the tank IS 90 gallons, looked it over on several conversion sites, i just may remember the dimensions wrong. But it's fine with te Frontosa. Decided to go with Peacocks anyways :)

Do you think i could keep them in a 4' x 18" x 20"? If so, how many, and what other Tanganyikans would you recommend?

I've read of pond stories where they add plants to help aereate the water, but what happens at night is the fish start gasping rapidly. Maybe it isn't the same in an aquarium, but i don't get why...

There's another point for wich you can have too many points: During the night, all of the plants produce CO2, if you have way too many, and a lot of fish, you may well run into problems, but you seem fine

It's a good idea to get them, but i've been researching them for 3 years and only know actually feel ready for them. You have to understand what food they need, and how much to feed/how many times a day. The food alone will cost $50. 3, is like someone said, a very bad number. Two is worse, one...

Symphysodon Aequifasciatus Heckelii - No one else likes them (lol just kidding, I just prefer natural over cultivated forms) Gymnochanda Filamentosa - See a picture and you tell me :D Pterophyllum Altum - Just beautiful

If anyone around the GTA knows where to buy some (Burlington, Hamilton, Oakville, Missiauga) please let me know! I'm also interested in the Blue, Brown and Green variants. Basically, all and every wild colour variant :D Thanks soooo much if you can find them!

I find serpaes are nippy no matter the size of their group. Do you like the red colours of serpaes? I would then look into flame tetras. Don't got for red phantom tetras though, they like cooler water. :wink:

Blackwater regions are only dark sand, with decaying leaves and lots and LOTS of bogwood. There are no rocks as locals collect them as commodities and there are no plants because no plants can survive the nutrient-deficient waters. There is also very, very little light protruding through the...

No! I veto that! Serpaes are VERY nippy. They'll eat away at your Angel's fins :(

It should be ok, like Dingogirl said, to add rocks after you sterilise them. But i really wouldn't recommend adding shells as they dissolve into the water over time, releasing bits and pieces of salt and other un-wanted particles.
