Errrrrrrrrrr..............Are you determined not to help me in any way because the tank is seemingly too small?

Sorry, but could you first give me the ideas please? I haven't done it yet, just setting up.

I'm emptying my 72 gallon 48x18x20 tank and plan on stocking it with my favorite fish, and one of my favorites. Fish: P.Senegalus P. delhezi P. ornatipinnis BGK Raphael cat or Leopard Ctenopoma Maybe a ABF I'm planning on making it look good as I can. The decor I'm planning is a pre-made DIY...

Over here, you can buy ones at 4~5cm......They are really tiny! I wonder if those could adapt to a normal fish diet?? By the way, I prefer my polyps big.......That way I can be more sure about them eating well, but come on: Small ones are CUTE! Gosh, just writing these words makes me want to...

I think these guys are too "touchy" about frontosa. Like, they almost "worship"them and keep them in prime(That's different to optimum, or just work out) and are very aggresive towards any sign of seemingly "neglet" behavior. Fronts are strong. What's the big deal with them? Return to the main...

Since they live in tropical African rivers, how about a rain simulation? Like, feed them well(Live foods will be even better), slowly increase the temperature, and make a cool water change. The water should be soft(Driftwood or blackwater extract, because they live in those waters?), and if you...

Hahaha.....In here in Korea you can either buy them(AT 300won, or 30cents) each, or collect them yourself....But I haven't got any.

Peacock gudgeons! Badis!

I'm in Korea; quite away from your contacts. Could you show me some simple basic notho care sheets? I don't want to take away toomuch of you time. Also, are medaka considered kilies?

A new kind of fish abuse no doubt. "Pour the media(Peat) containing the eggs into the tank. Add water, and watch them hatch out of nowhere! Just a few months, they will be over 3cm. So they do not get hungry, periodically feed them with magic shrimp(Baby brine shrimp) that also come with the...

I did a impulse purchase! I bought 3 buescheri for $10!! I did that without thinking, but the guy says he can sell me more later. He says that the buescheri are is favorite, but since he had so much(The only guy in Korea to breed them!!) he sold some away. He says he picked out a male and...

Officially described as Boulengerochromis microlepis! Dang......How can I kep this monster?!

Can you please tell me the scientific name? :hyper:

Finallyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!! Some decent answers! Thanks! :good:

To be exact, Pomacea Bridgesi. I want to keep them in a hardwater setup with anubias and vallis. Some places say it's okay, some they it's not. Are they naturally okay with hardy plants, of do they eat them, or does it depend on the indivisual snail? I've never gotten a straight answer. Even...

He is only 1.5 inches long. Right now he is in a 30 gallon breeder with some plants, 6 zebra danios as dithers(Acually test fish), and some other fish who were getting beat up in my main tank. Either way, stocking levels are low(Total 9, biggest 2.5 inch), water is crystal-clear, due to constant...

What kind of fishes could be possible? I mean, what could the parents be, if it were a hybrid? AFter personally seeing 4 WC adults, the body structure of this fish is something I have only seen in B. microlepis...

How about this? Someone ssaid it could be a Boulengerochromis microlepis....I sure hope it's not...

Errr......I guess nobody has an idea?

I bought it as a Tang, the place didn't say what kind, just that "It's very expensive, but I'll give it to you cheap" I first thought it could be Ctenochromis horei, but could it be something else, maybe a Malawian?

I think it is :good: How big are they? How many times have they bred? Also, any other thinks linked to them, andd their longlivity, would be interesting to hear :)

I meant fresh water :sly:

Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! Wow! Finally a nice hap I can get! Thanks guys!!

I think it's okay :)

3 inches. Now I think it's Astatotilapia latesfascaita(spelling?). Looking at the bands and the red on the stomach. But doesn't it usually have clear eyes and some blue on the fins, with some yellow on the body?

Do you know this fish's name? The place says they're obliquidens johstoni, but I'm not positive....

Why not? :shifty:

Oh yeah, do they harm plants? Or are pretty passive towards them?

Yep.

So what I've found out; 1. Water: Brakish I guess 2. Apparently greedy eater 3. Size is a bit bigger than I thought 4. Nobody gave me any extra info. Which I guess means they are easy to keep?

I found out a really hot place that sells these cool-looking fishes. It's no doubt that they are the orginal species then :) Here's the clinch; I can't find any info on them, as much as the swamp eel. The only ones I found out are that it's brackish, can live in either fresh or salt water, is a...

Maybe it was just chasing the other fish from it's territory?

Yeah, but if they're younger, they would most likely eat dried fooods more readily. The species is the one in the title; and it's also the only species found locally. Thanks again, but all the "oddballs" I've kept where never picky eaters so I found it a big strange. Just personal experience.

Such a hardy fish is a picky eater? That's something I haven't heard before -_- ALso, that's my main concern before I even aqquire the eel. You said it had a bigger mouth than I think. Does that mean the "thinner" fishes like polypterids are in danger? Thanks!

I went to the biggest aquarium in Korea, and they had a huge(Though not as big as that) saltwater tank with monos, scats, goatfish, lookdowns and Undulate(?) triggerfish. It was impressive, but this also matches it! The shark is a nice touch.

Thanks! But no luck with dried foods?Also, is mixing a problem? You said this can happen, but yours didn't. What were the tankmates? Do you think peaseful, big, easy-going species will be fine?Sorry for more questions; I'm so glad somebody managed to answer me!!Oh yeah, the ones sold here are 8...

Despite it growing natural in Korea, I haven't been able to find any good info about it. Not in any English sites either. So I've decided to turn to some personal experience. 1. What does it eat? Can it be weened onto nonliving foods like krill, shrimp and possible carnivore pellets? 2. How...

Definantly a senegal; I've kept three before. The foods I recommend are Tetra Doromin and freeze dried krill. But the other foods don't hurt.

Some tankmates I have seen over the years.... Cory catfish Rams Mollies Polypterids Gars Rocket gar Silver dollar Arowana Geophagus sp, I think they look great together! Chinese high-fin shark Ctenopoma Spiny eel Clown loach Frontosa(Relatively Peaseful african cichlid) Apple snail Plecos...

For me: The best set-up I've seen was this: 125 gallon Dark blue lightning Coral sand A large piece of wood with anubias attached to it Smooth black river rocks Happy fronts
