Air pump for cichlids?? I was told today that I needed a air pump in my tank of souyh african cichlids as they need the surface water to be moving?? Is this correct? I have had advice from pet shops before and it has not been correct.

So, Is there differant kinds of peacocks?? I was going to buy some off trade me but sounds like i might have to do a bit more research

Hey, what is the name of the yellowy, blue fish??? :lol:

Cool, thanks for the feedback, I am trying to sell one and someone asked about keeping it with angels.

can i put a kenya cichlid in with angel fish?????

for the feedback. I have fluval 3 filter and a aqua 1. The fluval is from old tank and I was just going to have one filter, Is one enough for this size tank, its 4ft by 2ft by 2ft. I asked guy at pet shop about agitating top of water and he said only had to be agitated slightly(Pupuke fish shop), but Ill raise it anyway. Yes, it is argonite, think I could of done with a bit more but will do for now. Tank has got a blue background on it. Should I put some on sides as well, maybe change the back one to black. Just yet another question while Im here, one of the lights is constantly flickering, does that mean its gone, time to buy new one??? This fishkeeping is sooooo addictive, im looking at buying more tanks now as every time I go to pet shop I see more, more , more. Oh, I have 3 convicts, 3 electric yellows, 2 lionheads(think thats what they are called) 1 bumble bee(Think thats what they are called)lol, and a baby catfish, hence the driftwood but not sure if I should take that out now.

Here(hopefully is pic of my new tank, after looking at other cichlid tanks I can see that I need heaps more rocks in my tank.

is it alright to use this in cichlid tanks, The red, rough sort of stone??Think its called scoria?

does it work?

Argonite, Thats the one, :oops:

Ok, I bought some of that white stone? not sure what its called but helps with the ph, anyway it is really cloudy still after heaps of washing, but if I leave it in bucket to settle then the water clears up. Do I have to keep washing it till the water is clear when Im stirring it around???Hope someone understands that

What white stuff are you using???

Hi, can someone tell me what colour calcite gravel is?? Im looking for something for my tank but want something white.

Hi, Yes its the one in photo

Not sure what sort of filter but its internal one, cannister type?Not much help aye :oops:

Here, hopefully is a pic of my new tank, to me it is bloody huge,lol, didnt picture it to be so big.

Im changing from 2 foot tank to a 4 foot one and not to sure how to go about cycling the new tank???Is it alrite to just put the old filter and stones from old tank into the new one and then put fish in or do I have to wait before putting fish in???? :oops:

So why stay away from bloodworms???

I bought a fish tank with these in it and do not want them so Im going to put them on TM, but have no idea what they are worth??? Can anyone give me some indecation. 3 Kribensis, mixed sex 8- 10 bristlenose, sizes 4cm to 12cm one peppered cory two guppies 4-5 ozelot amazon sword pups,

Thanks for the help

I have got electric yellows, bumblebees, lionhead or is it lumpheads???

Im feeding my fish spirulina algae flake food and was wondering if theres anything I can feed them to make them grow bigger, faster??? Do fish need variety or just stick to same?

Ok, Thanks, I thought it was just for decoration
