First time I am aware of these guys. I saw this pic on Dan’s Fish site. Quite unique in appearance. Anyone have this beauty?

That is one beautiful tank. Wow!

Crushed Coral or Aragonite Sand will slowly raise pH.

I have 4 orange dwarf Mexican cray fish distributed across four tanks. One tank has about 75 neocaridina. One tank has white cloud mountain minnow’s. Everybody gets along.

How’s the wood affected your pH?

CC, Can any species of Apistogramma thrive in water with a GH of 200 ppm?

My red coral dwarf platys are breeding like crazy. The fry survival rate is extremely high. Perhaps too high ha ha. It seems like I am constantly bagging 10 or 15 juveniles and taking them to my local fish store.

Point counterpoint. Keep it going. That’s one of the reasons I like this forum. I know next to nothing, and I get to hear many cogent views.

Congrats biofish. Stunning dog.

I have a new AquaClear 110 HOB filter to go on a 48.5Wx18.5Lx16H 60 gallon tank. There is only one location in the house where I can place the tank (dictated by she who must be obeyed). However in this location, hanging the filter on the 48.5 inch wall will make it cumbersome to perform...

My tanks aren’t big enough for that fish.

Congratulations. I just bought a 60 gallon Aqueon tank, also 4 foot long. Great minds think a like. My tank will also house cichlids. I am very excited to build the tank. This is a great Hobby. Enjoy.

Should frozen brine shrimp, Daphia, etc. be thawed before feeding to our fish? Or should the meal be delivered frozen into the tank?

You are a funny man. Have you ever considered stand up?

Happy birthday! Fish keep us young.

Japanese filter matting! What’s that? Something I get from a Zen Buddhist monastery?

No one seems to like carbon. Why?

I purchased an AquaClear 110 HOB for my 60 gallon tank. This filter is huge. But I’ve never had a tank larger than 20 gallons before. The instructions say to replace the foam filter every two months, activated carbon Insert every month and the bio max insert every three months. Is this a...

OMG. That is terrible. So sorry for you.

Anomalochromis thomasi and Pelvicachromis subocellatus.

Just imagine what a pure gold Olympic medal would cost. The metal must be several ounces. So many medals are given out. It would cost a fortune. but I’d rather have a Super Bowl ring.🥴

TB fish sanitariums. They will soon be all the new rage. 😎

The Seriously Fish site states that I should feed my cichlids a high quality cichlid pellet, as well as live critters, such as blood worms, brine shrimp etc. I don’t actually have the cichlids yet, but I am preparing for their new home. My question is, what is a high quality Cichlid pellet...

Entry #6 I bought a water filter from a company called Water Filters of America that will sequester nitrate from my well water. It is being shipped to me from Florida and I will receive it soon. I will attach the filter to the sink I use for my water exchanges with my python. I am not expecting...

Yes. Makes perfect sense. Thanks.

Thanks. Amazon has several fitting those specifications for pretty inexpensive.

I am moving my 5 gallon QT tank and my 5 gallon shrimp tank to near ground level onto stands that will house my 20 gallon long and 10 gallon on the upper shelves of the stands. At near ground level it will not be possible to siphon water. Can anybody recommend a small pump that I can use to...

Yes indeed.

Do you think Dan’s Fish has a better track record with selling TB-free rainbows?

When I needed to test water GH I used the API test kit. I found it cumbersome because after each drop of solution you needed to cap the test tube and give it to shake. The German company, Sera makes a GH test kit with a very wide test tube. After each drop of solution into the test tube, you do...

What if any community fish in the tank? Water GH is 200 ppm.

What do you recommend and how many mating pairs can co-exist in a 4 foot wide, 60 gallon tank. 48.5 inches widex13 inches high and 18.5 inches long.

Thank you. No aggression with the guppies?

Entry #5 I have a dilemma. I was all set on Anomalochromis thomasi and Pelvicachromas subocellatus but then I saw Apistogramma borelli and fell in love. @gary has provided me with vital information on a. Borelli including potential tank mates. Well I have many weeks to decide. My tank will not...

May I ask How many a. Borelli in your tank and who are their tank mates? I am building a 60 gallon tank and was thinking of Apistogamma.

No. My Footprint 48.5x18.5x13H. I have a rock solid desk that will serve as a stand. My wife would kill me if I upgraded yet again.

Entry #4 The 60 gallon tank arrived today.
