No, no clown loach anymore.  Really need to get that updated...

Hi everyone,   Got an outbreak of white spot in the tank.  After lots of research it seems its unclear on which is the best way to treat.  I thought I would try the heat method however, I've set both the heaters to 32 degrees and the thermometer only shows 28/29 degrees (aiming for 30) and the...

Sorry meant to add yes there are some geophagus :)

Thank you!  Don't know where my other pictures vanished to, I will try again    

Hi Everyone,   I've been away for a while (from the forum and hobby), thought I would stop by with some pictures                

Thanks for the replys and links which I have read, unfortunately the more I read the more confused I get lol. I think I will be aiming for a medium lighting for now. I will definately have a look at lampspecs later on.

I have been trying to understand the lighting aspects for a planted tank and feel very confused and brain dead now lol I have a new tank which is 38" x 17" x 19, eventually I would like a nice planted tank - this won't be for a while but I would like to get the lighting sorted asap. What sort...

Yeah the red spot is about 5-6" and the rotkiels are only 4" and 3" ish at the moment. I originally started the tank as a rainbow tank but then fell for the cichlids. And I have a over enthusiastic partner who keeps bringing me presents!! I will be rehoming the misc. rainbows and the...

Great pics, these two seem pretty keen lol

Ok thanks for the suggestions Mark as none of the fish are adult size yet it isn't causing any problems but I know it will come if I don't sort something out. I was hoping to be able to stick with all the severums for a while as we are hoping to move house - when I don't know but I would...

Hi everyone I'm looking for a little advice of stocking/rearrangement of fish. Firstly I am aware I am overstocked at the moment hence the 2nd tank coming in 2/3 weeks time - however a lot of the fish are juvies at only 1 - 2" in size atm. I am quite happy to rehome some of the fish if needed...

Does anyone recommend anywhere for decent silk/plastic aquarium plants? Thanks Lace

They look lovely, very beautiful fish.

Lol keep trying then.... thanks Mark

:lol: i like that :lol: Thanks, I usually move all mine but if I spend ages trying to make it look right I won't want to move it lol

Ty Glenbo but it don't look like that now lol, different wood and no plants.... Another question I have is when you are doing the water changes in these tanks with carefully placed decor do you move all the decor to get to all the poo or just syphon round it?

Brill thanks will take a look next time i'm that way - which won't be too long I don't think

I always come out of Ings Lane a bit disappointed, never anything I fancy in there! I don't think the kids would appreciate me dragging them further than Hull though lol

Thanks for the replys. I have a couple of bits of wood, got a nice piece the other day from the discount garden centre you mentioned Wills it is soaking atm. I'm not sure where the northfield garden centre is I will go have a google.... I feel another trip to Maidenhead coming on LOL.... will...

Thank you Minxfishy, will have a look. Do you actually feed your plants anything? I have looked into going planted before and ended up very confused. So this will only be a few plants attached to decor.

Wow totally stunning!!!

Ok so I've been looking through some of your tank pictures and they look lush, however mine dosn't it looks very much like everythings just been lobbed in so I want to try and get it looking nice. First of all I have the two Sevs and am aware that they like to eat the plants, do you have sevs...

Sorry Wills I will be keeping my blues they are my favourites along with the bosemanis lol

Very nice sevs I like them both they are :drool:

I will need to find homes for most of the Ellioti when they are a little larger - I may keep 3 or 4, and I want to rehome some of the rainbows as I need the space for the ever growing cichlids I keep getting caught up by :blush:

Cheers Wills, at 2" they will be fine in the large tank. I will be needing to rehome some fish soon hoping MA will take them.

Hi Wills, yeah I did - maybe shouldn't of though lol. They are soooo small I dare not put them in the large tank at the moment. I agree MA Beverley don't have a lot in that catches my eye a lately but these did!! The rotties are indeed from MA Beverley also, they have greens in at the minute...

Wow congrats on the large spawn, and now wrigglers good luck with raising them.

Love your severums they look stunning

Thanks for clearing that up for me Minxfishy I get confused with all these fancy names!! Thanks Star, these are about 6 months old also and I would say there are only about 1" and there is only about 30 of them.

So the Geos are not geos? lol sorry just to confirm. Thanks I love the sevs, they are my absolute favorite, the larger one has red facial markings whereas the smaller dosn't. The anal fin is also just starting to point. But as you say they are still young and small time will tell I suppose.

Have been busy recently and not had a lot of time to update pictures, so thought I would pop a few on today. Firstly my Severums, they are growing nicely now although one is much much larger than the other I think they are male and female but not 100% certain. First smaller severum, female I...

I emailed them last night and had a reply, its a Vieja Synspilum, don't think it would be any good in my tank. Shame as I was quite taken up with him :(

Oh the Ellioti was in the 6 footer show tank when i was last there, the Sev looks like its had a battering or something poor thing. This fish was past the showtank and plants, I think it was in one of tanks the threadfins were in, I'll go google Vjeia.... Thanks Lace

Nope neither of them Wills, the Threadfins had gone the big sev still there and there was this one.

Yeah I thought that but i'm quite rubbish at that sort of thing, I would know it if I saw a pic!! I will have a go and see what happens lol OK quite large maybe 8" or so (rubbish with guestimates) had a pinkish under belly and up sides slightly, rest of body was quite pale silvery, dorsal fin...

Just wondered if anyone has been in either of these two shops recently. I saw some kind of cichlid in there that caught my eye.... didn't get chance to ask staff about it as they were really busy in one shop and kids acted up in the other so were frog marched out :angry: Thanks in advance Lace

Hi Star, sounds like you had a lovely natured male and again i'm sorry for your loss. Try not to blame yourself, we all know what cichlids are like, very unpretictable and unforseen events can not be stopped. Sending you a big hug. Lace
