    Tang Compatability

    You`d be much better off going for the standard size cyps, the jumbo cyps do get very big and I wouldn`t say your tank is big enough in length to house a large number (which is how they`re meant to be kept together). I was considering the possibility of having the Jumbo cyps when sorting out a...

    Dodgy Email?

    Is it an email associated with an ebay listing Mark? If so then would it not be better to reply through ebay? :unsure: Weird that you can receive an email yet not reply without it failing, sounds a bit suss to me :look: :look: If I`ve got it completely wrong then I`ll just shut up...

    Cyprichromis

    I'm presuming you mean the leptosoma? I have 11 cyps in my 105 USG along with ventralis (feather fins), punks, dickfeldi (which was bought as a marlieri), lucipinnis and bristle nose plecs. Cyps are at their best when a larger number are kept together. Even though I have 12 of them I would...

    Bb Torch.....anyone Got One?

    Well after 4 weeks of having the BB I`ve decided to go back to my iphone after the tariff changes back in 6 days time. I really can`t get used to the Torch and it`s beginning to niggle me now :crazy: :lol: It`s in excellent condition (like new) so I`ll be listing it on ebay in the coming...

    Poorly Macbook Pro

    Could have done without spending out on another one but the knackered one is being dealt with by the insurance company now. I received the new Macbook this morning, 4 days from ordering it to receiving it :D I now have to mess around waiting for either the insurance company to sort out...

    If There Were No Fish In There.... What Would Your Hobby Be?

    I'd probably be setting up a Springer Spaniel rescue centre/kennels. I prefer animals to people so although I'd be kept busy I have no doubt it would be extremely rewarding :)

    What Would You Do?

    I meant the previous setups with the discus and oscars didn't float your boat and it was a case of dealing with that as you saw fit and its a huge shame about the malawis because I know they do. I wouldn't say you're being irresponsible, it's just a shame that because you have the opportunity...

    What Would You Do?

    Ok, I'm going to be the blunt one who says it as I see it. Not meant to offend but you've asked what people think...... I actually think you're mad in a way to have had so many different setups yet you've changed them all because you didn't feel they were for you. Don't get me wrong, I fully...

    Poorly Macbook Pro

    We'll be checking the policy details tomorrow but are sure our laptops are covered. We're not bothered whether they replace or repair to be honest, if they could/do repair then hubby will probably keep it for his work but if they replace it then we may sell it to pay towards the cost of the new...

    100 Ukg Malawi Madness!

    I ended up with an extra lab :lol: I'll try and keep a close eye on them and get some pics or vids if I can. Hubby got me a great new camera but I'm stuffed for uploading any pics until my replacement MacBook turns up, sods law huh :rolleyes: Let me know how things go with your malauna :good:

    100 Ukg Malawi Madness!

    I'm really sorry about the usisya, as you said before it could have been stress that caused it :sad: Good news on the malauna though!! My Sunset pair are at the point of sitting in a pit that the female seems to have made inside a caved area so fingers crossed :hey: :good:

    Anybody Clued Up On Ebay?

    The person who has bid has probably made a bid and then made another bid which will be their maximum bid, you just won't see it unless someone else makes a bid and you'll then see the first persons bids going up until it's overtaken by the other persons bids........hope that makes sense...

    Poorly Macbook Pro

    Lucky!! :lol: I've taken the back off it and it's now sat in the airing cupboard.....fingers crossed :unsure: I went to PC World to price up a new one and spoke to one of the 'Tech Guys' who reckons Apple charge ridiculous price for repairs, probably best trying to dry it out myself...

    Poorly Macbook Pro

    My MacBook was near the sink (yeah stupid I know), unfortunately when hubby turned the tap on a bit too fast it sprayed water all over the MacBook :shout: I turned it off straight away and wiped it dry but since then I can't get it to switch back on, even the green light on the charger plug is...

    Hi Morri :) I have a Malawi setup and do run a sump on there, the details of how it`s setup and what media I use are here: http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?/topic/352825-sump-for-freshwater-malawi-tank/ I have 2X T5 39W tubes on my 380L so smaller T5s would be fine on yours. I also have...

    380L Malawi Setup

    I would apologise.......but I`m not sorry so I won`t :lol: :lol: I can`t honestly say I prefer one over the other :no: The Malawi are colourful and interesting in their own way but the Tangs are more interesting the way they interact with each other. The Tangs will also colour up as they...

    Tanganyika Spotter?

    The cyps aren`t much cop to be honest, (should have said, sorry), they`re quite thin, maybe just need a good feed but both me and hubby have said the ones I have are pretty chubby compared to those at the store. I feel like buying them all, feeding them up and the returning them but I know I...

    380L Malawi Setup

    Hi Goat :) Thanks B-) Yes it is an sp.44 like Mark has, a couple of the fish have flicked a few times but I think it could be because they came from bare bottomed tanks and have never been in a tank with sand. Possible irritation but I`m keeping an eye on them and doing regular good water...

    Tanganyika Spotter?

    Not sure if my 'local' MA at Wimborne would be close enough for you (about an hour away from you?) but they have cyps, punks, five bars, frontosa, Pearl-lined Lamprologus, few brichardi erm, erm....can`t think of any more at the mo :unsure:

    380L Malawi Setup

    There`s definately something going on in different areas, the female malauna has taken to being protective over a rock area already, the neon spot males are already playing 'get dizzy' with each other, the 3 big males are still hiding away, the female jacob is shoving everyone else out of the...

    380L Malawi Setup

    The haps have had a bit of a spat already but nowt serious. One is definately dominant, his colours are really deep compared to the other one who looks quite pale in comparison. The labs are fun to watch, very confident little things who don`t seem to give a toss about any of the others :lol...

    380L Malawi Setup

    Yeah Tony said after about a week the colours will get even better. The jacob and sunset males are utterly stunning, can`t choose between them because they`re both so nice. I honestly would have been committed to the funny farm had anyone heard me when I was taking the bags out of the box, I had...
