Hi, Would this be the most hardiest plant that would survive in an African tank? Are there others as good or better? Can you cut the big thick stem to make smaller plants and does trimming the roots to say 5 cm slow growth? And finally does it grow just as good sitting on top of the gravel and what light does it do best in and what light will it tolerate? Thanks for your knowledgable answers.

Hiya Tiden, Keen to get some. Who is MM and what are there contact details please?

Hi malawiman, What date do you think you will be getting your NLS shippment in and approx how much do you think a 2.3 kg bucket of sinking cichlid pellets will be? Thanks

Hi jolliolli, Where do you get your NLS from? Thanks

Hi Ryan, I appreciate your efforts and advice. All I am doing is putting out a feeler to see if anyone else has bought any or have a channel of where and how to go about it. I am starting to get low on food and will be needing some soon. Maybe somone will have an alternative food for the intreim? Cheers

Hi fishy_t, Apparently trout pellets help pollute the water too much, especially if any are left uneaten?

Hi, My fish appear healthy and growing fast. I have been feeding them Wardley's mini floating cichlid pellets and Wardley's sinking crumbles. The sinking crumbles are no longer available and I do want to feed them sinking food. I have heard that NLS (New Life Spectum Premium fish food from Canada) is one of the best fish foods in the world. Does anyone know who sells this in NZ or who to go through to get this food? What do other people feed there African"s and has anyone got any suggestions? Thanks

Thanks everyone for your advice. I will not mix the different species.

Can Sciaenochromis Fryeri breed with Peacocks as I only want true fish species (strains)?

Hi Smidey, I dont know how long as I noticed these 2 peacocks were staying in the background and not eating. Lack of knowledge and experience from me doesnt help. I only assumed that maybe they were holding and........ cheers

Hi, thanks for your advice. Gave them forth treatment and white spot now gone but will try permanent mild dose of rock salt. Thanks

Hi, I bit the bullet on Sunday and stripped both fish at once. 61 fry. Half free swimming, half with yolk sac (lost 9 yolk sac over the next couple days) Now all free swimming and doing well. Thanks for your advice.

Hi, I have 2 female jacobs holding. I have placed them both together (along with a tank cleaning bristlenose) in a floating 10L container in main tank. I know being together is not ideal but will it be alright? When the fry are spat out and swimming do the parents (or other female or bristlenose)eat their fry? Should I have some java moss or similar to help stop getting eaten? Do the female parents eat food when holding? Thanks

Hi, I have a 6' African tank that includes bistlenoses and 20 clownloaches. I noticed 5 clowns only have whitespot. I have raised the temp to 30c and have treated water with the recommended dose every 3 days (3 times now) with VIP white spot cure (includes malachite green). It hasnt as yet got rid of the white spot. Am I treating correctly? Apart from using chemicals like malachite green (which is carcingenic to humans) is there a better or altenative treatment? I have heard that a quanity of rock salt added to the tank water permantly helps build up the slime on fish like clownloaches thus preventing whitespot occuring? If this is correct can anyone recommend what dose of rock salt / litre to use? Prevention is better than cure! Thanks
