Welcome, I've got peacocks plus others, including electric yellow. Good choice on tank Will be awesome to see your tank once set up!

Let me know if you plan on selling any

I always miss out due to work or prior arrangements. Bah!

A better photo of my first male, and my latest latest edition :lol: I'm happier with the newest ones colours (a dusty blue marble) and crowning (he's a double ray whereas the first one's only a single), he also looks younger than my first one which is good. Excuse the crappy cellphone pics

Ooo, I love your dark coloured female, the first one! Very striking. Black orchid is it? I need a female like that!

Yeah, and the range of colours we have here is also quite shocking. Red and blue it seems, with maybe one or two marbles thrown in! I'm breeding my new CT with a borrowed VT female. So going pick out ones with best crowning to breed F2, and give the rest away probably. http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/auction/ ... 1181574943 is one CT female I love! Along with this one http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/auction/ ... 1181613673

Sure no prob That'd be great, because the more fish in, the cheaper it'll work out to be. I'm thinking of getting more females than males...can seem to find CT males in shops but not females. So prob be looking at one male (definitely white!), and a few females of varying colours for myself.

Obviously excluding the fish. LOL. But would like to know further info.

I've been told most of the people have a transhipper or something they get in contact with? And would cost between $20 - $150 for shipping. I can afford that if it gets some decent CT quality into the country!

I've decided I'd like to import some CT Siamese Fighters. How easy is it to do this? I've been told it's quite possible to do so. If so, what kinda colours do you think we need? I'll definitely be getting whites!

Hey guys, getting back into the crowntail game, finally purchased myself a male I deemed acceptable. Though I'm not completely happy with him, that's the point of breeding right? To better stock and create what you think is the perfect fish? He's a solid blue colour, and has decent (but not fantastic) crowning. Now to find a *sigh* decent female. It took me this long just to find him!

Yes, much appreciated my partner brought me everything else for it, cannister filter, light, heaters, aragonite etc, for a total of $300 as a present

Yes, smcoleman, thanks so much, it's going great I got a wooden cabinet for it from my nana for nothing and it fits on it PERFECTLY.

I haven't met many fish people really, but could be possible! LOL. I'm assuming you mean Hollywood? I've been there number of times and never noticed!

How long ago has it been since you moved down?

Do the tank dividers have holes? Only thing about more glass is lack of water flow.

Yup, lovely couple, very friendly people And some amazing setups And they live just down the road from me!

Hehe. Pretty much how it was for me, whatever I liked at the time. Though I picked up the Chilumbas at a fantastic price and might like to breed them later on...but got another tank set up for that I fell in love with the male these guys have.

My fish all seem to be getting on fine. Haven't had any aggression issues yet -touch wood- There's PLENTY of hiding places. Yeah, not too colourful. I picked em up pretty much site unseen. I prefer the electric yellows. I'll see how they go as they grow. They're not too bad.

Oh really? I just picked them up yesterday. :lol: So, do you think tank is well stocked enough already?

I'm looking for ways to seperate a tank. I am not that handy, and don't have many tools at my house. What is the best and easiest way to do it? Preferably like to have it so only need one filter, and heater, to cover the entire tank.

I don't really plan on breeding, and if I ever do, I have a smaller tank set up for it. I plan on going back into breeding my Siamese Fighters, but this tank is just for display and thus I got mainly males in it. So far I got: 9 x Aulonocara stuartgranti (Juveniles, plan on selling off whatever males aren't quite up to scratch when they start getting bossy). 5 x Blue Melanochromis 3 x Electric yellow (2 x juveniles) 5 x Melanochromis auratus (juveniles) 1 x Demasoni 1 x Giraffe Hap 1 x Pleco (which wasn't doing well at all in my Nana's 90cm tank. Approx...15 - 20cm?) 3 x GBA (Which kept on breeding in Nana's tank so she wanted to get rid of them. LOL) 1 x Snow White fish Most of them are still quite young I guess. I plan on getting a bigger tank when move into our own place in approx six months time. I'm doing weekly water changes approx 20% and have a Jebo cannister filter running, plus two heaters.

I have a tank 120cm x 45cm x 46 cm and know that Malawis should be slightly overstocked to help spread aggression. Problem is I don't know how much is too much. My partner said I probably can't fit many more fish in there, but when I look, I still see a lot of space. So how many fishies do you think I should go with with this size tank?

Cool, my problem is I have quite a few rocks, and about three really large hardly movable ones. So could be a bit of a mish. But I'll wait a week or so and see how it goes.

Good I wasn't expecting this so soon...LOL. Well, once she is at a stage where she can be caught easily, she has a nice lil tank all to herself waiting.
