Matto

the two males have been at it lol the smaller was the dominant one but then this guy gave him the bash and has his own territory now

i got some of these from Firenzenz (fishkeepers?) last year and thought id share some pics

put it somewhere were the birds can get at it?

i recently did a full tank clean if that would make a difference? like you say i cant see anything wrong with them :-?

the tank has a strong air pump running air filters so i don't think oxygen is a problem ,there is poo sitting on the bottom as the sponges don't pick it all up. Would i be better to go to a glass bottom? thanks

come on people ! what can i do? 5 dead today still only lumpheads :tears:

i have had many lumpheads die in the last month or so and usually in groups of 2 of 3 ,i have checked the ph, ammonia,nitrites etc and are all normal, the temps at 27 degrees so i dont see what is causeing it,they are in a 90litre tank with juvi afra (dogtooth) and no deaths from the other species only lumpheads .I recently brought new food (2weeks ago) because they didnt like my other food and are still dieing. I have no clue what is causeing it ,fed shelled peas last night . any ideas? can a disease only affect one species?

gutted! i killed two the other week by doing a water change now im stuck with a female :facepalm:

no she was good but i think she was in the bag too long and got stressed out &c:ry

yea my 5min DIY worked really well and im quite surprised but i think its because the eggs were already starting to form into fry which made the time in the tumbler a lot less but they got eaten anyway :an!gry

i had 12 rustys sucked out of a tumbler today :facepalm:

beach sand is awesome!

nice setup! i have Rusty's but Ryan has bagged my first lot of fry i have a female holding now but it would take a while to raise them to the size of your fish now.

thank you very much

yea in a pond so i was just checking and my and pleco and Africans will eat it??(i hope not lol)

so tank safe?

pihia bombs work really well, i take them every time i go out and im sweet as

frankton markets on Saturday morning.

ok so i googled it lol it said it takes 3 hours and 43 minutes and you go to waihi and on to tauranga to whakatane .

me and a mate might be coming

ive got heaps of 3-4cm lumpheads if want to get some but im in hamilton

congrats! could you post some pics of the adults please im looking at getting some so its good to know that people are starting to get them breeding . what size tank do you have?
