Ditto...Welcome to the forums

Hi all. I love these fish too. I have a large BN male who has a harem of 2 breeding size females and several more coming to age soon. I have them in a comm tank and he always chooses the same place to breed, inside half a flower pot. I'm lucky and don't have to do anything special to make them spawn, they just get on with it themselves My only tip is to have heaps of wood and caves around so the male has plenty of choices for the nuptial site. I also have around 50 BN fry in a growout tank and I've recently got some young GBAs and I hope to get a colony of them going too.

The S5700 is a point and shoot. I have the same camera.

Beautiful Rams

What a small country we live in :lol: :lol: Tim's the guy I bought it from. Now there's a character :roll:

That truely sucks. I feel for you and for the cat and I wish you all the best for Tuesday.

Hi Caper. Some people keep African Cichlids in male only display tanks. You have to get the mix right but it looks great. I have a solo Krib male in my planted community and he seems happy without a girlfriend and looks lovely.

I think it's 4 times the tank volume per hour as a minimum. So a 200 litre tank needs a filter that does at least 800 l/h I prefer to over filter.

I have several CF1000s and have had no problems so far....touch wood

Me too. I was searching the net for images of other 'Crowntail' fish. I did find some pics of Crowntail Guppies :lol:

Then we must have met I've worked there since 1989 and I've owned it since 2001.

Hi Caper. You're on the money there....summer can be a killer. By the end of the day we're dripping with sweat and drinking water like it's going out of fashion

Yeah. How did you figure that out?

I think it may have been meant as a PM.

The mould in the pic is a cast of 50 clamps that are part of a system to hold the lid on a pressure vessel. We cast all kinds of things....all in Stainless. Mostly marine applications and food handling machinery.

I hear ya there. I do enjoy that part of my job

Ya gotta keep them OSH people happy I'm not making Tikis at the moment but I did do a quote for some a few months ago. Nothing came of it though.

In a way I was.....the heat from furnaces is known to do harm to certain parts of the male anatomy

You wouldn't be the first :lol: :lol:

Cast stainless steel.
