It sounds like two males but we need a cichlid expert to chime in here .

Houseboy today . I made Spanish Rice , washed the bedding and remade the bed . Culture medium for my fruit flies came in the mail so I made up two new cultures . Made a new spawning mop for my lineatus and watched them inspect it and make a few forays into it . Did my run this morning and fed...

I’ve heard the term sparring used often . It’s not displaying because that’s part of courtship . You are talking about two males I assume ?

You had better check with your State Fish and Game people . If it isn’t legal and you get caught without a license it could be a hefty fine . Also , get yourself a Peterson Field Guide to North American Freshwater Fishes . Another resource is The North American Native Fish Association . Jonah’s...

Hey ! You’ll never believe this ! I just looked outside and there’s hundreds of those weather rocks laying around out there . I’m going to make a fortune !

Some great stuff here recently . @WhistlingBadger , where can I get one of those weather rocks ? I’ve been criticized by people in the past who have been miffed because , as they put it , “everything’s funny to you “ . I can live with that .

I did too and nobody would take them off my hands .

Why do you think a stronger pump will stress your airlines ? As long as the connections are good and your filters and airstones aren’t clogged all should be well . Put a T in the line and a bleed valve if you’re concerned about excess pressure .

Oh the times I’ve gotten fish that I didn’t really want but didn’t know until later . Happens to everybody , I imagine , but knowing what you really want helps avoid those blunders . Another thing that helps is having a circle of fish friends to trade with or a good relationship with a pet shop...

Just one shirt ? Don’t spill on it .

That’s a nice fish !

Since it’s well water it’s apt to be hard so a Guppy colony might be nice . Recently I saw a 55 with a sizable Guppy population in it and it was cool . A lot of visual activity .

I have a thing for aquarium thermometers . I’ve got a lot of the cheap ones and the temperature they read doesn’t vary enough to be a concern .

Very interesting . . .

Can you drive at night ? I can’t .

I like that . Specialty aquarium lighting is getting way too expensive . I have only one aquarium with lighting at all . My killifish don’t like bright lights .

That is a very worthwhile pursuit . Are you thinking a club or aquarium society ? I would like to know how that turns out .

@GaryE Thanks for the tips on A. joergenscheeli . That’s the kind of information you don’t find just anywhere . I bookmarked that post .

I still have Clematis blooming but we’re supposed to get snow tonight so that will end that . We’ve had a very rare warm fall .

Well , I made up my mind . I’m going to build up my Golden Wonders again just because I’ve had them since 2019 . Not the same fish as from 2019 but their descendants . @GaryE has said several times that you really get to know a fish once you’ve kept them long term through many generations . I...

You live in the Netherlands and don’t know what ganja is ! ? ! ? You got to be pulling my leg Mon ! It’s Jamaican slang for marijuana Man . Jeez . . . . a joke isn’t funny when you have to explain it . 😂. But seriously , that’s cool that you have all those flowers still blooming this time of...

Where’s your ganja Mon ?

Yes , it’s complete , for now . You have the bug Man . There’s more aquariums in your future .

Wow ! There’s The Holy Grail . $100 bucks a pair ? Ain’t happening ! What Dan writes in the description is true - “ The rarest form of the most common killifish in the hobby “ . I guess I’ll have to rattle the cage of the AKA - again - and see if any of those guys have any . I kinda have it in...

I am in a position to get some new fish . My current stock is dwindling and I have space . I still hope to find my own personal Holy Grail which is the original wild type Aplocheilus lineatus Killifish but barring that maybe I could find some species of Fundulus . I could dig that . There needs...

I had a dream about Kuhlii Loaches last night . I wonder if I’m going to get some . I like Kuhlii Loaches . In my dream I was putting them in an aquarium with my bare hand and watching to see that another fish in there didn’t mistake them for worms before they got to the bottom . Dreams are weird .

@WhistlingBadger I tell people I’m from Billings . The tourists and out of state transplants have made Montana a thing of the past . Whatever Montana once was is gone now . I’m from Billings .

I have a good supply of rice , flour , oats and dried beans . Those things keep well and are cheap . I also have a small propane stove and extra propane for when the utilities shut down . You need food that all you have to do is boil . All joking aside , this artificial money system has to...

Welcome to the gang . I’ve got a step daughter in Hico .

Psuedepiplatys annulatus is a Killifish I’d like to try . A guy can find them pretty cheap too .

Ain’t that the truth ! Explains why some guys have whole rooms full of aquariums .

A badger hide ? Why do I hear “ Hi , I’m Larry and this is my brother Daryl and my other brother Daryl “.

$5 bucks is all I ever spend on any one fish . I still manage to find them for that too . Members in the American Killifish Association rarely ask more than $5 or $10 bucks a pair and you can find some very beautiful and sometimes rare fish from there .

That is something that I have been predicting for the last couple years . Famine . Not just a shortage but outright biblical famine . I don’t want to be right and I hope it doesn’t happen but all the signs are there . Less and less farmland under cultivation and the centralized food distribution...

Even better !

Well guess what ? We’re happy that you’re happy to be a part of this forum , The Great TFF Forum . A 120 gallon aquarium for Jack Dempsey’s sounds great ! You just gotta breed them . That would be awesome to see a whole big aquarium full of them . Welcome to our merry little band of fish nerds .
