Oh yuck I can only imagine Alan :-? A friend of mine lives on a farm cottage and on two occasions her farmer landlord has found dead pigeons floating in the water tanks... that would make me want to check weekly :-?

I have never heard "fryeri" called Electric Blue Peacock, only ever heard Royal Blue Peacock which is a Peacock species... if I heard Electric Blue Peacock I would think something is odd

They look stunning Frenchy, awesome 8)

Sciaenochromis fryeri is also commonly known as the "Electric Blue Hap" or just straight "Electric Blue" Here is a great link on them: http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/s_fryeri.php

:lol: :lol: Yeah snookie the odd few are floating around Iraq :lol: I have seen the Apache Whip, I am pretty sure there might be one in at hubbys work, very nice. Seem very placid and rather peaceful.

The eggs I had meeshelley were inside little teracotta pots, so I would take the pot, and place in a bare bottom tank, same water etc, and I would run a air stone not far from the pot so there was a slight current and I would put a couple of drops of methyl blue in the tank, and all have hatched well in the past.

Hey you don't have to say sorry for disagreeing with me over that Ants, we all have our own ways etc, me taking eggs in the past and raising them has worked for me, that is all, however, I didn't have my apistos in an apisto only tank so didn't want to risk the fry etc with other tank mates... if they had of been housed in their own tanks to breed then it may have been a totally different case, would have loved to watch them raise their own and hope for the best

Hmm sorry I am still a bit stumped... :oops: Are you meaning from retail outlets? Prices will differ from store to store, whether the fish has been bought from the same suppliers, or depending what sort of markup each individual store puts on their goods or livestock... Sometimes if a fish is purchased from a breeder a shop will often put a lower price on a fish, however, in some cases this doesn't happen.. :roll: :lol:

Kribs are often kept in smaller fish community tanks, however, having a pair in there can mean trouble, depending on the fish themselves, but often they will protect their babies rather violently :lol: The males are alot larger, she alot shorter in the body and has a plump fat crimson belly when showing breeding colours... He also has a pointed doral fin and has patterning on the top of his tail. (The male will also show red sides etc in breeding mode) http://www.aquatic-hobbyist.com/profiles/freshwater/cichlids/kribensis.html

What do you mean by that pinetree? Price list from where?

I would take the eggs and raise them, I have done that with most of my dwarf cichlids in the past Give it a go

Haven't seen them around, however, not saying they have never made it here Haven't seen them on the lists at all anyway.. very nice small peacock tho

I know what you mean.. you always have your favourites huh.. even tho they are all special, there is always one ya seem to be drawn to, like me.. I am drawn to our old Jack Dempsey :lol:

Sorry to hear you lost your guy farmchick I hope you get on top of things real soon..

Hi Sharn The following can be a good site, often pops up when you search Af stuff... also the cichlid forum is a great place.. http://fish.mongabay.com/cichlids.htm Sorry it was a short and sweet reply, I am just starting to eat a majorly late tea :lol: And congrats on the new job to 8)

Great update Faran, awesome seeing their progress from tiddlers to now

Holy hell, look at those Bristles :lol: My mum would like him she goes for craggy looking males (Sam Elliots of this world) :lol: Awesome pic Faran, as usual

Yes according to information on the net they do chomp snails, maybe both your Chains and Snails are both too well fed, hence why neither are taking the bait... loach = snails... and snails=lettuce :lol:

Awesome stuff SpidersWeb, wot cute little dots

That is exactly it snookie.. they can have fin fetishes :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hiya My thoughts were exactly the same, mine match up to that link aswell No variant, just straight J. trans

Oh btw Paul, I caught up with the PM

Awesome pic Paul I have just had 80 odd of the little varments produced so the Frons got a nice snack the other night, had to thin them out.. didn't want 80 odd raised that's for sure and those Brichardi do a darn nice job of raising their young huh

You can never ask a silly question Milet, my way of looking at it, is at least you are asking and wanting to learn

Heya davidb No feather fin synos aren't hard to keep They are beautiful once they reach a decent size but can pack some punch with attitude also :lol:
