I've found that the colour difference in Cobalts is more noticable when looking at them from above.

Hi Silvia-15. I had a problem with one of my cichlids, or at least I thought did, turned out to be diet related... http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/black- ... 28294.html NLS worked a treat and I now feed it to my Africans almost exclusively. I know alot of people prefer to give a more varied diet but the fish love it and seem to be thriving and I've noticed an improvement in the colour of my E.Yellows and Red Zebras in particular.

Hi. I know nothing about reptiles but I was wondering if you'd seen this http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/new-en ... 30722.html HTH

Could it be a wound? I'd be putting her in tank on her own and treat the area with Meth blue.

I'm like most of the others....I totally strip the tank then gently herd the fish into one corner with two nets. I bring the nets together to corral them and I slowly bring them up from underneath to net the fish. Nice and easy does it.

Whatever it is, poo or prolapse, that looks painful.... -
I guess you could say 'Different strokes for different folks' or would that be ' Different swish for different fish' :lol: In my case it may well have been a lack of hiding places for the BN :oops: There were some, but the female was onto the BN immediately and the it had no chance to hide. It was shoved into a corner and battered. This was also in a bare bottom tank and the BN had no camo. Is the pH of both your tanks, African and BN, similar?

I once had a small bristlenose, 40-50mm, in a nursery tank to keep the bacteria in the filter ticking over and when I put a holding Zebra in the tank she, the Zeb, hit the BN relentlessly and killed it. JME.

Cheers Ryan.

Thanks people. Hi sorcha. I thought you might find this be interesting... http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/stripping.php

Hi sorcha. I use the 'Females into tanks of their own and let nature take its course method.' When I've got the female back in condition I put her back in the main tank. The fish in the pic are Cobalt Zebras. I have no experience of breeding Auratus so I can't say how they are as Mums.

I have to plead ignorance on lighting but someone here should be able to shed some light on the subject.... :oops: sorry for the bad joke. Anyways... Its a 5' , twin tube light. I got it second hand and it had been on a marine tank. The bulbs have.... FMB54T5 - Marine Blue on one and FMW54T5-Marine White on the other. The pic was taken with all the lights off in the room and no flash. HTH.
