ok just to throw a fly in the ointment. If these fish interbreed so easily and all of them come from the same lake what stops them from breeding in the wild and how do you now that they are not crosses.

thanks ryan was having a hard time on the net but found this was the closest link. http://www.malawimayhem.com/profile_show.php?id=548 dont know his history but is a nice looking fish photo doesnt do him justice

that sounds nice dixon have you got a mate for him

have you been talking to phill again :lol: :roll:

was thinking it might be Maylandia estherea "blue/red"

Hi people, Can anyone help to identify this fish, I got him at LFS in New Plymouth and they had him listed as an ice blue but I think not, he is about 100mm long and they seamed to think that he is full grown, any ideas

Thanks TM like that idea.

Thanks for the input guys, I was thinking that it would be like a big community tank just divided up. I see your point about diseases spreading but would that not be the same problem for a 500l tank.I like the idea of being able to isolate a tank just incase of disease or fry raising. The thing is I had a bit of a crazy moment and brought alot of tanks from a breeder that was getting out and some of them have holes in them already as he had this sort of set up. I'm just not quite sure how he had it set up. I can plate over the holes with silicon and glass. As for big ass air pumps what size or cf/m would I need to run 10 tanks?. Still lots to learn lol.

Hi all, would like some help and thoughts. I'm looking at setting up some more tanks and was thinking of a system like the one in th pic. Was thinking mainly about all the heaters and filters and was hoping this would cut out all the cluter of wires and expence of setting up and running. I was looking at keeping different types of fish that might not get along or for separating for breeding. Will this work and what do you see as problems. Thanks for any ideas and help.

Gold Marble Pearlscales . They are very pretty fish. Their scales shimmer in the light at different angles.

They are under gravel filters.

Here are my first baby angels. They are in my 40 l Q tank at moment.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys ans girls. Here is a pic of the 200l tank that is cycling at moment. Looks a bit barron at the moment but cant find bigger plants. They will grow hopefully.

Hi all, I am returning to an old hobby, and have been reading through the forums and see alot of helpful information. I have a 200 l tank cycling at the moment that soon will be home for some angels. Hope to learn lots from you guys , I have to be reeducated lol. Cheers
