Had some interest in 7 of these. Smaller groups would be £5 per fish. Would rather sell the whole group though as better for them to grow up together.

Holding! :good:

Agree with the above tip....if you don't want to pay the rip off prices of an LFS for Tangs, this is where a lot of the specialist and hobbyist breeders list their fish. I list my Tropheus young on there for example. :good:

In my experience it would be nowhere near overkill. Even with a Fluval FX5 and an Eheim 2028 on my 4ft Tropheus tank I wouldn't say thats overkill!! It's still sitting at 99p on ebay so you might grab yourself a bargain!!

These are now on ebay.... Eheim 2217 external canister filter Eheim professional 2226 external canister filter

Will reduce the price of both of these by £10 each....

I would like to take both of these at the above price....happy to collect as well. I take it they come with all pipework, inlets outlets etc? thanks

Yeah, just have to hope someone reads this at the weekend. Another shameless bump :rolleyes:

Hmmmmm, no Tang fans in here obviously!

Hi all, Need to make some room for breeding Tropheus, so have the following for sale: 1 black calvus male, a good size 4", nice clear markings. 1 comprecciceps nearly 2". £25 for both Pickup in Tooting, South London only. Email: [email protected]

TBH I am not taking them anywhere, after a recent house move my patience to carry anything heavier than a feather is wearing thin! Someone on here must want some freebies... :shifty:

Due to house move I need to give away my collection of Practical Fishkeeping magazines. A few years worth from 2004 - present (60+) and all in good condition. Last chance before they are consigned to the recycling bin, I would rather a dedicated hobbyist made use out of them. COLLECTION ONLY...

NO

Doesn't look to bad to me, fins heal naturally with time and good fish husbandry. Do you have them in with Tropheus though? They may nip at them too....

£50? Feel free to send me a PM with an offer....

The following still for sale: 9 x adult Multifacitus, mixture of males and females, breeding regularly 7 x black neon tetras 20-30 escargot shells 1 piece of dark red lava rock 2ft 3d tank background 2ft tank, lid and light. £85 ono

Ok, if no-one wants to swap, does anyone have any decent 2nd hand powerheads for sale? cheers

Hi all, I have a Rio 2100 powerhead that is a bit too powerful for my setup, great pump, but I could do with swapping it for two smaller ones that can sit at each end of the tank. Comes with suckers and bracket. Anyone have anything? cheers Rio 2100 specs

Plants and rocks all gone now, feel free to make me an offer for the rest though. I will not post, collection only. thanks

Did you get a male and female pair? If, or should I say when they breed, they will attack everything else in a 30g tank without exception....you will get a nice tank full of baby brichardi's though!

On the contrary many tetras are kept in hard water with no problems at all, they might not breed, but are very adaptable. If they are adapted to hard water from the wholesaler/shop then they will be fine.

With a tank of your size There are not a great number of options for Tangs. anything under 4ft is too small really for Cyprichromis which are the upper/mid shoaling cichlids of Tanganyika. Paracyprichromis are often suggest but I tend to find that they hug the rockwork a lot and need this as...

Nope I will not post sorry.

Cheers mate, glad you are happy with them. Thanks for the pump. Hi there, no sorry, all plants and rocks now gone, have the multies and shells which would have to go together. And the tank still....

Agreed, I prefer to acclimatise fish to my tap water on introduction, rather than spending money and time trying to change the harder than hard London tap water. Most fish (apart from specialist such as Discus etc) will have been acclimatised to hard water before you buy them anyway. I tried...

Lucky fish, more varied than most people's diets! :P

Echo of above comments, although I find that for Tangs stability is more important than exact Ph. A Ph of 7.5 for example is not a problem at all, as long as the fish have been used to it and waterchanges are the same.

I would worry that bloodworms would be a bit too rich although I'm sure they are fine for a treat now and then. Personally I have always use NLS cichlid formula with good success in breeding and colour, for both herb and carnivores (incl Tropheus). Although for herbs I also use spirluna flake...

Looking to move on my shell dweller setup to make room for Tropheus young. For sale are the following: 9 x adult Multifacitus, mixture of males and females, breeding regularly 8 x black neon tetras 20-30 escargot shells 5 x java fern plants on wood and rock A few nice pieces of dark red lava...

Well you could start with 6 and see what you think, I used to have 5 fully grown in a three foot tank and thought about getting a few more. (but then changed to Tropheus :rolleyes: ) Try to get two males max if you can. One thing to note with the Paracyps is that they like hanging around...

IME its only the very young juvies they go for.....I have kept Multies with Calvus and Comps (up to 3-4 inches in size) and while they occasionally look at the young most of the time they don't bother as the adults all harrass them together. They know its just easier to wait for you to feed...

I'll chip in with some Tang advice. As you suggest Fronts get too big for this tank. Tretocephalus get very aggressive with each other and only a single one would be advisable. A nice suggestion for this tank would be a pair of Alto calvus black (m/f) for the rock work, a school of either 10-12...

A few more details of your tank size and numbers would be good. What sort of set up are you looking for? Examples of fish that seem on the whole to be successfully kept with Frontosas would be Alto Calvus, Alto Compressiceps, various Synodontis catfish, Bristlenose catifsh, Leilupi, and as you...

Sounds reasonable to me. The Brevis will claim a shell/shells, caudopuncs wil claim some rockwork, as will the Brichardi, so make sure you provide enough territories for each. Rainbow fish and plec will be pretty much ignored by the others. Has the makings of a nice community tank! :good:

I would go with a trio of caudopunctatus and a male/female pair of brevis from your list. Might be good to add a shoal of Danios or another type of fast dither fish like small rainbows. If you want to keep a community stick to one Brichardi or they will take over the tank. Lielupi are a bit...

Need a bit more info....what size tank have you got and how many Brichardi??
