[Convicts]

[Convicts]

[Convicts]

[Hello from the North Shore]

yeh i no its no very big but to get it into the space i want it to go into its not very high or wide

[The Dwarf Cichlids]

what dwarf cichlids are out there that can be kept together in a 215l, 2ft x 2ft x 2ft tank.

Any names of the different ones.

[Hello from the North Shore]

Since posting my last reply on this thread i have a few updates.

My hexagonal is still going strong with 4 angels, schools of serpaes and silvertips, corys, b/n, 2 cockatoo cichlids.

I have upgraded my guppy tank which now is 105l which also has 6 juvenile b/n.

I have a 87l malawi tank with a 5 different species of malawis plus 3 b/n.

Then next door to the Malawis i have my community tank with platys, swords, mollies, loaches, gouramis, flying foxes danios

Then i have a small convict breeding tank with both parents and fry in the tank.

Also a 40l tank with a few guppy and convict fry with corys, kuhlis and b/n

Also the goldfish fry tank.

And another houses 2 female bettas and one male.

Also im in the planning of housing 8 tanks as a fishroom in my garage that will hold;

1 2ft x 1ft x 2ft 105l tank

2 2ft x 2ft x 2ft 215l tanks

5 2ft x 1ft x 1ft 54l tanks.

Also in the thoughts mind is upgrading my malawi tank to a 4.5ft 160l

But thats enough for the moment

Any of your thoughts wouldnt go astray either

[Convicts]

ok what are some dwarf cichlids that i can keep together in the same tank that are from america.

[Convicts]

what sirt of fish could i have with convicts that are about the same size or smaller.

[Glass lid]

wat size tank do you have cause i got a couple bits of spare glass lids.

[Waikato Auction]

do they ever have these type of auctions in auckland at all.

[Son of Big Red]

WOW

He looks amazing

congratulations on producing such a beautiful fish.

[Heating]

i will be keeping american & african cichlids, guppies, bettas, b/n catfish in the tanks.

[Heating]

If i have three tanks in a row, all exactly the same size and right next too each other to keep them all heated the same temp could i just have heaters in the two outside tanks and leave the middle one with no heater. would the middle tank be warmer enough. the tank sizes will be no more than 2 footers.

[New owner, new tank, new fish, eek!]

Hi and welcome to the site.

Heating: yeh two heaters between 200-300W would b best.

Plants: Yeh live plants look good and are healthier for fish.

Rocks, Gravel etc: You could put most substrates in the bottom of the tank like sand, gravel, and rocks

A couple of fish that you could have as showy fish are angels or gouramis.

[Lighting]

Is it ok if you leave lighting on for than 12 hours a day, does it affect the fish and plants, i leave them on 12 hours+ a day and sometimes they may only be off for a few hours in a day. i do this to encourage algae growth on my tanks for the b/n's and alike to munch on that but is it affecting anything leaving the lights on so long.

[white spot]

yes keep you filter going but if you've got any carbon in your filter you should take that out, also slowly increase you temp to around 27-28 degrees. i think this info's right. anyone else agree or disagree with me.

[Conditioning]

thanks shiuh,

that helps me out a lot.

[Betta Vs Guppies]

since i removed my male fighter out of the guppy tank there hasnt been any new guppy with nipped fins.

but anyway i would of moved it soon enough as iv finally been able to get some female fighters from the lfs.

i think with most fish it comes down to its personality as iv kept bettas and guppies together before and theyve been fine, must just come down to th individuals.

[Conditioning]

I finally got myself a couple of youngish female fighters from birdbarn in henderson, what is the best way to condition them and male to intice them to spawn.

[Daphnia?]

does anyone know of where i can get some daphnia from in auckland and once iv got them whats the best way in keeping them and how do i keep a culture of daphnia

[Breeding Convicts.]

i looked into the tank today and i see a lot of fry swimming round but havent seen anything for a few days as the eggs disappeared and there was no fry swimming round. now the fun bit, can i feed the fry liquifry or does it have to be bbs?
