great thanks. i have seen a couple in my lfs & think they are quite nice now, they are about 3 inches long.

Has anyone got any adult giraffe afrians? If so can you please post a pic of yours. There isn't much info on the cichlid forum & i want to know what the giraffes that are in NZ look like to confirm they are the same. heres the cichlid forum info link http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/s ... hp?id=1160

is there another name for blue zebs? Cobalt?

looking at the pics above & the pics on the cichlid forum as per link below, i cannot see that the interrurtus in the pic above matches the pics on the cichlid forum, just my opinion. http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/s ... php?id=758

thats a shame eben, those are really nice fronts to. i saw some really nice ones in HFF albany last week, only $110 each

i have been keeping my eye out for a SAP or brazilian puffer for over a year & have not seen any

also add some carbon to your filter for a month then remove. if in the filter too long it will release what it has obsorbed.

what about arogonite or crushed marble as a substrate. what fish you keeping in this tank. only thing with this is that raises the ph although mine is around 7.8.

i got my red zebras from eben, he has alot in the online ads section at the mo. i would sell some but not finished stocking levels yet, have been buying a few of each then will keep pairs of each as they get to adult sizes & sell the left overs.

im a little puzzled by the front, what goin on there?

its been a while since i had anything to do with garnet & microns but isnt 80 microns 0.08 of a mm? if so that is very fine & will be washed around at the blink of a fish's eyelid

its very fine, the bags we got were much finer than sand. it was used instead of shot which is very rough to blast paint off & leave a smooth paintable surface on the steel.

i have never had the sand come through the stones that are two inches thick

i put an inch of sand & two inches of stones in the base of my community tank, crushed marble for the africans.

i used to do sandblasting which we often used garnet for finer abrasive blasting. be careful it isnt to fine so it doesnt end up being stirred up by the water flow.

hey batman, excellent choice of species. I have fryeri, e yellows, red zebras & cobalt zebras which seem to be a good mix of colour & attitudes. sorry, none for sale though.

as for your little green & blue magnets, I have a big black magnet. not as good to watch as my BN but does a better job.

the word hybrid aside, not a bad looking fish though

hey afrikan, yeah they are cobalt zebras that i have added to fryeri, yellows & red zebras. just out of interest, anyone know why they are refered to as zebras? the cobalts & red zebras do not have any stripes at all where as the fryeri do.

& the most effective way to make em disapear is clown loaches. I had no idea i even had snails until i was cleaning out my canister filter last month. there would have been around 100 adolecent snails in the bottom of the canister. I have never seen snails in this tank & it has been full for a year now. i tipped em into the tank & haven't seen em since they headed for the middle of the tank.

i dont know about anyone else but i certainly notice my heaters are on alot more often. other than that just building stocks in my african tank, community tank largely untouched for last 6 months except the addition of another swatrz cory.

Hi all, i have two new additions to my african tank. I have added these to fryeri, yellow labs & red zebras. they all contrast each other nicely.

i understand that, Holden let ford win bathurst last year cause they said they wodnt come back if they didnt win & it not much fun racing yourself.

welcome madsaffa your username mean you are south african? If so sorry bout the rugby

my clowns were fine to. on the side of excell killing algae, the algae dies really fast so maybe excell works like roundup, its a growth hormone that makes the algae grow so fast that it doesnt have enough nutrients to sustain life.
