  1. Hi. I quote from here.... http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/n_brichardi.php 'It is my opinion that the best method for keeping Neolamprologus brichardi is in a species only tank. A tank as small as 15 gallons can be utilized, though between 20 and 35 gallons would be more appropriate.' HTH

    Hi Alienara. Welcome to the forums :bounce:
  15. Have a look at this video.....it shows how to strip fry from an African Cichlid and you'll see how the fish is handled. http://www.cichlid-forum.com/videos/stripping.php
  16. It sounds like it may be a hard job but it isn't really, you'll probably feel more stress than the fish If you leave the fish in the net and just expose her head it'll be easier to hold her.

  20. Hi. I quote from here... http://www.aquarticles.com/articles/man ... hrimp.html Feeding: brine shrimp are not hard to feed. They accept most food they can filter out of the water as long as it's not too big and doesn't dissolve in water. There is brine shrimp food available in pet stores, containing micro-algae for the nauplii to eat. There are, however, quite a few cheaper alternatives that you can buy in your regular grocery store; for example yeast, wheat flour, soybean powder and egg yolk. It's hard to know how much to feed the nauplii, but the transparency of the water can be of help. During the first weeks you should be able to see about 15 cm into the water. When the nauplii grow, the food concentration should be kept a little lower, and a water transparency of 25 cm is recommended. Food levels should be kept constant, so frequent feedings are required.
