    which tank?

    i didnt know that.. Any way i like my Cichlids they are fun to look at when they are out and about and i think under the right lights you will not find better coloration unless you are into marine species..... but i dont think i like just rocks in a tank.. As with the other tank it is all set up with plants and decorations and looks fab but the say the cichlids will dig it all up and they are territorial

    which tank?

    I have of late found it hard to keep up with the costs of keeping 2 tanks on the go so i have to figure out which of the tanks to keep. Cichlids or what would you say... the rest. I do know it would be nice to have plants in a Cichlid tank.. Ideas please, even some pics would help (just incase i have set things up wrong) i say this because it Cichlids are nice fish but the tank is not
  6. well they tell me they will be alright
  7. Well i have now added 1 port hoplo and 2 coolie loachs (i think they are mad) to the tank. I did Synodontis multipunctatus (cuckoo cat fish, many - spotted cat fish) because they are from the same lake but the pet shop new nothing about them, so they didnt think you could get them in New Zealand.
  8. i see that they like well planted tanks but as my tank is all sand and rocks, will they still be alright?
  9. good one why didnt i think of that.........I was thinking along the lines of a fish.
  10. what would be ok for cleaning the substrate when you have cichlids

    my expereince

    Im still new to this game, but if i was to keep trying i would look at using a group of breeders (may sort out inbreeding with what you then breed). Put them in there own tank and leave them there for longer......
  12. i like the look of them too, but there dont seem to be any way down here and im a bit unsure of getting them sent though the post from up north, when they are though trade me.
  13. are they something to say away from?
  14. Anyone know anything about these ones? There are a lot on trade me. Any one in Southland got any for sale?

    Ulcers

    My Gourami looks like it has an ulcer on it. This is fish number 8. What is up? Is this a Gourami thing or what? Have not had a problem with any of the other fish in the tank.
