Here are some recent pics from my 5 gallon and 10 gallon brackish. Let me know what you think.

amazing fish!

Thank you both for your advice, I will let you know how my tank ends up.

I use a brine shrimp net, but the frozen bloodworms in it, then run hot water over if. I then carry it to the tank and dump it in, I think this is the easiest way to do it. They may not eat the first few days, that is normal. I hope you enjoy your dwarfs, I wouldn't worry about just 2 of...

Thanks for the quick response.... I really shouldn't monitor these forums so closely while I'm at work, guess I am just addicted to my hobby. I see you have a nice little webpage setup about cichlids, I will have to give it a read. I was thinking about cichlids, but I am also really into...

Thank you for your comments. I am not sure if I am going cichlids still, but I will probably get the cannister filter. Here is a link to where I am buying it from: Eheim 2213 It says it includes double tap valves?? are those for closing the water tubes off that go into the tank when you mess...

I am driving my fiance nuts as well....I know the feeling. I have 2 tanks already, and now I want a third in our apartment.....just wait until we get a house. In terms of figure-8's, they are slightly more aggressive than SA's, I think you could only have 1 in a 10 or 12 gallon. I have 1 in...

how much better is a cannister than a power filter? I am getting a 29 gallon tank pretty soon and trying to decide between: the eheim 2213 Cannister Filter $70 the pengiun 330 bio-wheel power filter $25 I plan on having cichlids in the tank, maybe 6 or so. Does anyone know why a cannister is...

I wish we had a black and white plain text forum so I could post more freely from work... Anyways, maintaining the brackish isn't that bad at all. Just a matter of adding in the proper amount of Marine Salt (I use instant ocean) every time you change the water. I also check the Specific...

My Figure-8 and Knight Goby live in the same tank, they are both brackish. The SA lives in my freshwater tank. Other inhabitants of both tanks are listed in my signature. I do plan on taking the other fish besides the SA puffer out of the 5 gallon and letting him live by himself for awhile...

Well.... Not so much bored, more like I really wanted a Figure-8 or GSP in the first place and finally decided I could handle brackish! I didn't know about south american puffers at the time.
