I absolutely agree with this! I’ve only started keeping them recently, but they instantly became some of my favourites

1. Geophagus (can’t chose between winemilleri & altifronz) 2. Rainbowfish (especially M parva & herberaxelrodi) 3. Flower horn (love the colours - not such a big fan of the ones with big koks though) 4. Red spot severum 5. Electric blue acara

Happy new year everyone. Let’s hope life returns to normal in 2002 - lockdown life is getting a bit old now.

It’s a metallic element. It’s named after the village it was discovered in

This is really good news - the more tools we have to use against this virus, the better. Hopefully life can go back to normal in 2022

These fish are amazing. Every now and again I see them in fish shops and am tempted to go saltwater - then common sense kicks in!

Nepotism

American cichlids can be a pleasure to keep, and probably my favourite group of fish. You didn’t mention the dimensions of your tank, but I’m assuming 168l is 3ft? It’d also be good to know your water parameters (pH, GH & KH) as different species have different tolerances. Once you know those...

Yes! I used to absolutely love that show!

Back before ethics was as important in psychology as it is now, there was a experiment by a psychologist called Milgram to study social conformity. He wanted to see if participants would obey an authority figure by delivering electric shocks to another participant

I have one of the 4ft Aqua Oak setups and they are really nice - really well built and good quality. Why do you want a solid wood cabinet though? Is it because you like the effect? Or because they’re more robust than the usual chipboard cabinets? If it’s the latter then it might be worth looking...

Jack Dempsey cichlid. Really pretty American cichlid, but quite aggressive too.

I think the setup with rainbows would be really cool and reckon they’d make a really good contrast with red rainbows. The EBJD would be amazing too - I’ve wanted to keep them for a while but have stayed away due the deformities you hear about. My nic is still in quarantine with a group of...

I really like this fish! I picked up a male a couple of weeks ago - really looking forward to his colours as he grows. What else are you going to keep yours with?

Personally, I think people should use either, depending on what they’re most comfortable with. As long as everyone is clear which species/group is being referred to, I don’t think it’s a big deal. It’s true that common names can be misleading as they’re sometimes applied differently in different...

I much prefer herbal teas - my favourite is currently rooibos & honey from twinnings. Really starting to live that stuff!

I’d love to have a group of red devils. Unfortunately, their temperament means groups of them don’t work out so well.

I must be one of those weirdos that like duckweed. It’s a nice looking plant, low maintenance and fish love it. What’s not to love?

I don’t know what kind of monster eats marmite and enjoys it. I tried it once, and let’s just say a cockroach might be more palatable

I quite like the option of the peaceful mbuna and peacocks together. I was wondering whether 4ft is a bit of a tight squeeze for peacocks though. How many fish in total do you think I could fit in it? Maybe 5 peacocks and 8-12 mbuna? Or is that too much?

Yeah, everything I’ve ready says mbuna are the most aggressive group of Malawi cichlids. I was actually thinking about the more peaceful ones - yellow labs, rusty cichlids and yellow tailed acei. They seemed like a safe bet but would still provide lots of colour. But then again, I’ve wanted to...

Looks like the 6ft acara tank in the winner!

So I have a 4ft tank running and am currently waiting for my 6ft to arrive. My 4ft contains a soft water community based around my electric blue acara. I’m in two minds over what to do with my 6ft when it arrives. Option 1 is to use the 6ft for a peacock/hap tank, and to keep my 4ft as it is...
