Nick one of the fish that Ive got looks exactly like the one you have in those pics.What do you call the one on the far right?

Its a 60 gallon tank,its been cycled has about 8 malawis ranging from 2 to 3 inches and after displacement you looking at about 200 liters. The fishman reckons 25 is a good number for stocking quantity?!

Hi everyone! Ive decided to try my hand at Malawis. I went to the petshop told the fish man what I wanted and he suggested some fish saying that they were all peacock malawis. I think his lying!!! Now im trying to Identify the fish and this is one of them.I`ll post more pics soon!! ? I know...

Could the tank be cycling from over?

I was about to do a partial water change in the 60G yesterday when I noticed that my red tailed black shark was gone!!!! There are no fish in there that has shown any aggression towards it and water parameters were still OK. The fish itself seemed healthy the last time I saw it but a friend of...

Nice fishy!!! I wish I had room for one of those or a tank full of friendly ones!!!!

Must be Planaria because I saw them after the lights came on!!! Interesting little buggers though....

Soo I was admiring my beautiful tank lastnight and instead of looking through the glass I stared at the glass and noticed small wormy things on the glass!They about 1mm in length almost,they are barely visible so I couldnt take a pic. My gouramis were picking them off after a while and seemed...

So what is the difference between idlefingers` opaline gourami and my cosby gourami ? I know theyre the same fish but are they exactly same? I bought 2 blues and 2 cosbys got home and saw they the same fish!? I wonder what Ive got... :unsure:

Thanx that explains alot! I can do cucumber and spirulina flakes. :drool:

Ive updated my signature with my new tank configurations and will add the male pearl this weekend. Someone in my main tank is munching the uppermost leaves of my plants any ideas??? :blink: Im thinking plecos but theyre well fed and I never see them at the top of the tank.Do gouramis eat plants??

The Pearls are male and female and I was contemplating that myself! :drool: I`ll just let the 20 gallon settle some more then try adding the pearls!!! The shark is almost 2 inches long and the tetras are about 1 inch long so I think I might get away with that. I`ll keep you informed. Thanx

Am I annoying or what? I`ve removed the siamese fighter from the 20 gallon and only have the shark in it.Can I add my neons and glowlights to this setup to ease the load on the 60 gallon? If yes can I add more small tetra types?? :drool:

Catxx the two are behaving when Im around and I dont have another tank for the shark!??? I am hoping for a community with them and some neon tetras ,glowlights or black neons.I know tiger barbs are out of the question.... :unsure:

I`ll try and be patient!Thanx Sylvia! The loach I`m referring to is a very plain brown looking Kuhli loach,also the only type I`ve ever seen here! I`d love one of those exotic looking loaches or plecos available everywhere else!!! I`m not familiar with the fish youre recommending once I`ve...

Eish !!! Thanks for the comments!! I do intend on removing one of the plecos(common) and as yet the two sharks are behaving!The loaches are common brown ones and also hopefully in a month or two I`ll be getting a 200 gallon tank! I`m running two powerhead filters and an outside Eheim filter and...

By the shorter more rounded dorsal fin and the fat belly! :drool:

Very nice!!!I think your he is a she though.

I`ve got a 60 gallon tank with the following inmates and I was wondering if there are any suggestions as to what more I can add and still keep peace and order! 4 x COSBY GOURAMIS 3 x GOLD GOURAMIS 2 x PEARL GOURAMIS 2 x MOONLIGHT GOURAMIS 2 x ALBINO CORYS 1 x RED TAIL BLACK SHARK 1 x ALBINO...

If its a complete water change you`re doing then your tank could be cycling all from over!I normally experience this as the bacteria starts to bloom after a day or two. I suggest if thats the case then remove your fish and let the cycle complete.

Hows about posting some pics?!! How big were your corys when they spawned for the first time?
