Hey mole, I'm not new and I didn't notice that detail either! :lol:

Silicon the log directly to the base of the tank, the back wall, or both depending on the shape o f the log

Ha ha I hadn't noticed that! :oops:

I have had them all 12 months now and they were young when I got them - I had to wait until they were old enough to leave home.

What does age have to do with it? If he is right and it is ammonia poisoning it will affect any fish no matter what age it is.

No worries Cliff. I will let you know as soon as I hear from the man who bred them.

I don't boil my big pieces of wood dark and have never had a problem. I gather them from the river mouth so they have been sitting in salt water. Don't know if this helps or not.

Here is the one I thought was the C borleyi...

Not according to the breeder Cliff. Will be interesting to see what he says. What exactly is an Mbuna then? I thought it referred to all African cichlids. I asked for Lake Malawi species specifically (and I know J marlieri isn't one but I really like them).

sorry to hear that morz and sorry we could not be of more help.

Catbrat check a couple of replies above your question and you will see what the camera model is. Alan thanks for your thoughts. I will email Carey, the breeder, to double check. Not that I am doubting you of course :lol:

Like the green brain thing top right :lol:

not according to the guy I got them from. I must email him and ask. It must be one of the names listed above the pics.

PS: Never had a camera before either so am still learning. I can turn it on, auto focus and take a picture but there are lots of other buttons I have no idea what they are for yet :oops: Camera is a Sony DSC-F828 with 8.0 megapixels & 7x optical zoom.

Got my new digital camera so here are a few of my Mbuna. Not sure which is which (apart from the L. caeruleus and I also have some J. marlieri). They have to be either... Copadichromis borleyi Stigmatochromis modestus Aulonocara jacobfreibergi but I have no idea which is which

:lol:

Lots and lots! :lol:

Very pretty pies but I liked the purple one better personally.

Well worth visiting Warren's tank people! Don't know about Warren, but the tanks and fish look good :lol: Sorry Warren, couldn't resist

What is the pH of your tap water? If it is a lot more acidic, what else do you have in the tank in the way of rocks? You may have something in there (like a shell for instance) causing the pH to rise.

Hi mechtiger and welcome. I am sure you will soon be hooked and buying more tanks :lol: If you really have a plecostomus you are going to have trouble with it in your little tank as they grow over 30cm!

I assume pc100 removed it but all I got was the red x too so I copied and pasted the properties as you do .

Did you snap those other weekend pics for me pies (to add to the article)?

I thought that Pegasus then wondered why since don't the young stay in the bubble nest at the surface, or is that only for a short time?
