Depends on the dimensions of the tank, and what species you mean when you say upside down catfish.

.... Anyway, Otto's will be your best bet.

Are they not Archocentrus spilurus now?

Silvers can reach 48". Asians or Jar's (though aggressive) will be fine in that size tank.

Cheers, sorry to hear about yours, not sure if it's a Jurupari, I'm going with Satanoperca cf. leucosticta. But to stay on topic, if you have 3 pairs of cichlids in there and are trying to add another pair it will end in tears more often then not.

Nitrates will go up anyway, filters don't normally deal with them.

If you do a sump, do a trickle tower as well, much more effective wet/dry. The flow rate isn't what is important, it's the media you use and how much of it there is really. If you can get a sump I would, it would help with water quality and you won't need filter guards etc. Also if you do a...

Just because you don't like any decent fish we suggest doesn't make us useless :D I will suggest again though, cichlids. I suggested SH's but she shot that down too....

I wasn't too far off :D

Just use the fry as feeders to solve that problem.

What are the dimensions of the tank? Some are 3' long whereas others are 4' long, with the 4' long size 40g's you could probably go with some of the 8" size eartheaters that aren't on the list but are in the link. Smaller fish like Apistogramma spp., rams, keyhole cichlids, festivums, more...

If they had a jaguar pair I'd be worried for the convicts.... Are the JD's a pair also?

If the convicts breed they could quite likely kill the tiger barbs, the plec may stay safe if it has some where to retreat where the convicts can't get.

Andy, CFC has to move the Tanganyika and I want to say golecious (I can't remember) tanks, as they block the garage door and the tank builders need to get in for the huge tank.

I think two of the tanks are moving next week, after the stands have been built by CFC. They are moving as the tank builders need to get through where they are, then the other tanks are being put in at the end of September?

Sump- A water reservoir (tank) below a tank (usually a marine aquarium) through which water is circulated by means of gravity and a pump. The sump can be used to house filters, heaters, and other equipment to keep them out of sight. In addition, it increases the total water volume of the...

Have you actually looked at the price of digital nitrate pens etc.?

I'd keep it as bare as you can, the fry need clean water to grow and to make it easier on yourself a bare tank will take less time to clean.

If it was running on your old tank for a while it should be cycled? If not just take some media from your filter and put it in there. Will you be having the new tank bare, no substrate etc.?

Sterbai cories should be fine in there.

Did you setup the Malawi tank in the end? Yeah I'd love to come round, cheers.

Lake Tang. fish will be the best options, calvus, brichardi etc.

How old are the fry? Will you be using a sponge filter?

You measure to the water level.

There is a chance you're about to get hit by a falling satellite, doubt it will happen :/

They could kill each other, I'm going to put my money on they won't. I bred them in a community setup once. If they are living together now, why will it change?

This isn't the point of this thread and is irrelevant. Sorry for going off topic Lee.

grimmy do you have experience with rainbow cichlids? I gave them to him, I used to breed them, they won't kill the other fish.

Hey Lee. How many clown loaches do you have? If you'll split I may take a few things? What make external is it, I've forgot? I doubt I'd be allowed the whole tank though :/ Advertise on forums, aquarist classifieds etc. Not sure on how much you'd get sorry.

Ah plain dumb am I? Read the thread Tolak posted a few pages back, click here. I don't use it when I'm doing water changes up to about 30% but I do however use it when doing larger changes. I don't test my water any more either, sure I used to do it, but like Bignose after a while I stopped...

I had a group of clown loaches which were about 10 years old at one point.

Explain this statement? As in the tank is too clean in general or the plec will have nothing (algae etc.) to eat? If the second, which I think you mean(?) then, the plec is most likely being fed food so doesn't need algae etc. Though there could be another meaning to what you said, in that you...

The frog in that picture was an ACF.

I have and have had various clearseal tanks: 36x15x12, 30x15x12, 24x15x12, 18x10x10 and 12x8x8. None of which I've had a problem with.

Not all will. The bristle nose will be the better option out of those two options.

I think all 3 plans could go wrong. 'A' isn't going to work. Depends on the tank size for the other.

Well it depends on the fish: what species they are, how big they are, the age of them etc. I feed fry multiple times a day whereas I feed others a few times a week. As for the second part of the survey, I feed a lot of different foods which do I vote for? :D

No albino ADF's. Just the frog have black tips to it's feet?

No such thing as an albino ADF, it would of been an albino ACF, which get to the size of a fist unlike the small ADF's. Also mollies do better in brackish water, there is a pinned topic here. When I traded my Senegal bichir into the LFS, it was for a few weeks, but it went after a short while...

I used to have a Senegal with a gravel substrate, even though it ate gravel it would spit it out again, mine mainly ate floating foods though.
