The tank dimensions are 30.25 long x 19 high x 12. I can get some pics of the gudgeons tomorrow. Agreed about the Cory's, I lost one for unknown reasons and now have 3 females to one male. They tire him out, heh but they lay eggs pretty frequently. They are on the list. Thanks for the reply.

Hi, I recently decided to get some Peacock Gudgeons. Pretty little things but this is my first time keeping them. They lived up to the rep of being picky eaters but on day 6 it looks like they are all eating. My question is about the males. I am pretty sure I have 3 males and two females. It's...

What a beauty

If you have no snails in your tank a salt treatment wont kill your plants. Check if the loach can handle it now

Sound like little frogs. heh

Cheers Gary. I always enjoy the information you pass along. Andddd I learned a new word. ;) I have been reading some scientific papers about the rapid evolutions occuring in Lake Victoria and neighboring Cichlid environs. The exact numbers elude me but they are talking about what you just...

Hi, I recently put some Anubias on driftwood into my Kribensis tank. The only residents are one female Krib and two Nerite snails. She absolutely loves the driftwood and I see her nibbling at it a lot. I saw a pile of brown stuff and sucked it up with my trusty ol turkey baster. Its not feces...

I love the idea of Sparkling Gouramis too. Just be aware that they *talk* make croaking noises

Congrats! Wish I had a bigger tank, that guy is so cool. Looks kind of like a mini sturgeon fish

I'd say Nerite snails from my limited experience are great little algae eaters and do not reproduce in fresh water. Love those little buggers

I use the Jobe spikes as well for my Red Lotus. This plant is amazing as far as fast growing and gorgeous. At this point in time I have just 4 Corys in my 29. The Java ferns Anubias, Christmas moss, Ludwigia and Pogostomen are all growing great with ferts every couple months.

It is a 30 inch long. My design when I bought the Kribs their new apartment. I guess he stole a phone for his videos, he was the perfect dad with the first. They had eggs within 9 days of me removing the 8 week old babies. Thanks for your comments and suggestions. I've never kept cardinals and...

What I found odd was that he went after her while they were caring for batch number two.. The fry were about two weeks old and he nearly killed her. I found her hiding at the top of the tank. I tried letting her re- coup for about twelve hours and tried her back in with him. He still went after...

Howdy all, I have one female Kribensis in a 20 gallon breeder tank. She was part of a happy couple and turned out two batches of babies. I had to remove the male after he turned on her for no reason. A few weeks ago I got rid of the last of her brood. Her colors are amazing and she has the look...

Looks like the one to the right is heavily preggers. Are they nipping at each other? I noticed some damage on moms fins

Haha, was looking at pics and recognized your tank Fishy. Yee Olde Mystery Mansion

You'd be surprised. Mom and dad are so attentive and will scoop the babies up in their mouths and spit them back in the den. Those tetras are gonna be brutalized by mom if they come near

Super cool. I just finished giving away the last of my baby Kribs. There are a dozen or so at my lfs. Once they get going I was blown away by how fast they reproduce. Probably 200 babies from Feb to june, wild stuff

I'd keep an eye on that male. I thought mine were fine until the male nearly killed his wife. They were a breeding pair so a bit different conditions but I'd guess you will have to move one of the females eventually. Be warned, if they do *hook up* you can expect Lots!!! of babies, prepare...

Great information and thanks!!

Ok, thanks a ton. I will get this right. Cheer for my Cory's

Question, why would they have excess mucous coating and how can you tell that?

I test my water every week with my water changes as well as wipedowns. I have been battling brown diatoms for months, that stuff is evil. Would it contribute to harmful bacteria, etc that you mention above. I am diligent about cleaning and water changes. I can move my snails to another tank and...

I had a stripe of black and blue gravel at first but suspected it was to rough so removed 90% of it and am using Imagitarium brand Black sand. Maybe it's the wrong sand? It's a fish tank product. There may be a couple chunks of the gravel left but most of it is gone. I will be freeing up my ten...

Hehe, que some Rob Zombie music and lordie lord, would that get ugly

Thanks for the info. Maybe when things settle down I'll get some honeys. They really are pretty little things and if they are mellow, would be welcome. I think what people didn't realize about kissers is that they weren't affectionate kissing. Cheers

What would you recommend?

Ok, here's a pic of my little cuties. The one to the far right has the worst of it and I'm not convinced he has an infection but would like your opinions. Just so you don't have to re-read the post, my question was if Melafix was an appropriate treatment but was told if infected that's not...

Ok, when I get home I'll put up a pic. Interesting thing is I read a bunch of articles about this problem. They claim it's a myth that the rough substrate is the cause. Anyways, I'll get a pic up and thanks

I had no idea Kissers could get that big. I learned alot about dwarf gouramis going through three if them. I'm kinda pissed that my lfs sold me the three with claims of them being ok. Maybe in a group of 10 or more but right from the start there was one bully, I took one back and she immediately...

Sorry, didn't see an edit option. My Cory's have the same issue with their poor little mouths. I have to move them to a ten while I do some work on my bigger tank. They are active eating well, I have bumped their food up to high protein diet, weekly water changes, and removed all gravel, only...

Is Melafix an appropriate treatment for that?

Kribensis, very easy to breed but be prepared for a lot quickly

Cool suggestion, those guys are neat and I had thought about Killi fish. They say I can only put two in the 20 gallon. Maybe a couple of those and some Rasboras?

Maybe a Clown Pleco?

I think after all the hard work she has put in with her babies she deserves a nice peaceful tank. Any type of dither fish you prefer? Rummy Nose or some Harlequin Rasboras or would you think Cardinals? Thanks

I haven't tried it yet but really like the look of Micro Sword plant. Apparently they are good for carpeting and have small leaves. The other small leaf plant that comes to mind are Baby Tears. If someone mentioned those already my apologies

Heyas, In the near future after I get rid of my Mom Kribensis last babies it will be just her in a 20 long tank. I had to get rid of dad awhile ago. I will re- arrange the tank before adding anyone but wondered if a Hillstream Loach might go ok or another type of smaller Botia? As she has been...
