They didnt have any cichlid that could go into my tank. I did walk out with: 10x Black Neon Tetras 10x Serpae Tetras 6x Platies (2male, 4female) 10x Bronze Corydoras So my Stocking is now: 10x Black Neon Tetras 13x Serpae Tetras 1x American Flagfish 10x Bronze Corydoras 2x BN 6x Platies 2x...

For now, columbians would do good I mean.

I moved my pair into another tank and I am seeing good signs of spawning. Soon as they lay eggs, all other fish are going into other tank which has only couple of other fish. So I'm hoping for another $40 to get a spare 20 long to rear fry in.

Surprised Bo hasnt tried to eat your Bichirs, tank looks bare in fish, A scool of something would give it life like some Columbian Tetras. Your nic looks fantastic

Hikari First Bites is good, used it for my HRPs.

Cool, your pair looks about same size as my pair. My Male is 10cm and female is 8.5cm. How big is yours?

Its same size so plans for stocking both 29s is Stock 1: 4x Cupid Cichlids 2x Festivums 6x Red Eye Tetras 8x Corydoras 1x Male BN Stock 2: HRP pair 1x BN 8x Corydoras 8x Black Widow Tetras Both Will be heavily planted.

My original plan was transfer my HRP pair into a 20 long. But I'd have to buy a 20 long. Now if this tank is atleast 40USG, its going to have: 4x Cupid Cichlids 3x Festivums 10x Black Neon Tetras 2x BNs 10x Corydoras and I like look of Bumbble Bee catfish so MIGHT get 3 of those they are small...

My cousin called me asking if I wanted his tank, I believe his is around 30-40 USG so bigger than my 29. If It's 40 gallons, its going into front room and 29 is going into my room. I wont have to get rid of any fish now :D

I wanna see this, link plz :)

A big, I mean huge crawfish might withstand some bruisers. Big thing on "might" because cichlids love crawfish from my understanding.

Yes, any day. If she gets stressed at all, she will release. Surprised she made it to this point, most of mine will get to about 2x normal size before giving birth, never had one gwet thsat big. I miss having platies.

Where are you locate Kaiv? in UK or US? edit: nevermind, just saw the rotkeil and realized must be in UK because star is.

i live in states and most fish are considerbly cheaper. I could find a Heros Severus for $15-$20 depending on place I go to. Thats for an adult, and if I can find some juvies, then about $6-$7. Only thing is I have never seen Heros severus around here. The states have better cost, while UK has...

same here

no, i dont have my moms camera

I can't say much but, you are way over stocked. How big and old are all of your fish?

I noticed lately, she's been ready to breed; full color, plump stomach, breeding tube, and aggresiveness. Funny thing is that she has no mate because my male HRP doesn't bother with her except when she flares at him, and shes only about 2.5". She's flaring off my pair, which my male is about 5x...

How about a group of geos, like sp.tapajos or some keyholes would be good. I like some of the brochis sp. they are huge corys and look good. How about a spiny eel, one of the smaller species.

I put alot of it in a tub to raise fry in so mom and fry are in filtered tub and I have only couple inches of sand in one spot at most

No, they have had about 7-8 before, only 3rd spawn made it to adulthood, I never really tend to them, I don't make anything off of it. I'll try and raise this spawn.

Thanks, They are being moved to a 20 long when I buy and cycle the tank. Putting Cupid cichlids in that tank in 2-3 months if I can get LFS to order some. Like your tank chilli, and love your rotties, wish I had big enough tank for one if I could find some.

Sorry for blurry pic you see my tetras and male in center, this was a side shot pair tending to 3 day old fry again favorite pic of male my female, I stirred up babbies, thats whats spread under her

i will try java fern, gonna get some super glue or try fishing line, have some wood soaking outside to waterlog it

bump

ill try wisteria, and marimo balls hate cambomba, too messy how are onion plants and dwarf lillies?

I need plants. Swords arent doing good except for my one rossette sword. I have sand, and I'm getting some Festivums, cupid cichlids, corys, and flame tetras. Tanks been up and running for 3-4 years now. I want some crypts, and like valisnerra. Need some other plants.

Thanks wills, but how hard are cupids to find?

Its a 29, pet store has some but they get to big. They had Jupari, couple others tat get 6-7.

Well, I decided to change things. I got sand, and next time I go to LFS, i'm getting crypts and some rossette swords. I'm considering getting a tank off craigslist for my HRP pair if I can make the money by doing work on weekends like mowing a yard or 2. As long as its small he won't care, just...

I wish, grandfather drinks beer daily and drunk, hes mean.

Srry, got rid of them other day bc they had been getting too rowdy. If you want them, they are at my LFS, B&B Pet Stop

I'm getting bored of my tank, I love my pair of HRPs but, I can't add much but few cats, 3 of which I'm aware will outgrow my tank within a few years, black widow tetras, and BNs. My stocking is the pair, few of there offspring im about to put in pond outside, 8 black widows, 2 bns, 3 striped...

they do have great filtration with continuos waterchanges, UV lights, and couple thousand gallons of water a hour on about 500 gallon systems. They rarely have sick fish or dead fish due to sickness

Srry, i have been ignoring this thread for some reason. My biggest is, I wanna say, 3" and he's a devil. Him and the other male his size are overly aggressive when they get hungry, I had no flake food for some time so the got fed maybe one good feeding a week for 2 weeks and they started to...

not a hybrid, lfs has one in show tank thats same size, color, but finnage is not as impressive

The HRPs are not aggresive, only to the cats an bns. If the other fish get within an area of the eggs, then the are flared at and thats enough to make them leave. Tomorrow, I'n getting rid of the 3 male HRP i have raised. The big male, and female are staying indefiantly. The nStriped Rapheals...

Today I was doing a major cleaning since I slacked off last week, did a full gravel clean, cleaned media, and a %60 change. I took out all the fish to not bury any during the G/C, or smack one onto the glass and kill while filling tank (hose has a high water pressure). I was curious and measured...
