Hi Guys I'm looking for a L182 Bristlenose Catfish adult Male If anyone can help Cheers Marius

Rabbit, I know/kept most fish and have seen/experience most illnesses. Bloated is only found in Cichlids as far as I know. Never seen it before. At this stage I have not enough tanks at my disposal for a Quarantine tank, But i'm working on that.

Yip I was talking About African cichlids, My mission is to keep pure bred cichlids. Like you said hard to find in NZ. My problem is when you buy fish on TradeMe and Pet Shops you don't know if you buy pure bred or not if you are a novice like me with African cichlids. I learn as I go ........... I have fish that looks the same but some times there is a deference in the coulor underneath the lights Marius

Sorry to disagree, keeping cichlids is not that easy to keep or breed I've been keeping fish for the last 30 years on and off I have even bred Discus but Cichlids is a deferent story all together They have weird Latin names in use They fight all the time Don't know if you buy Hybrids or not I bought three fish over the weekend from a petshop in Henderson On the time i did not realized that their was something wrong with the fish. Got home ..... and add them into my show tank. Sunday morning one dead and a couple sick. That was my own fish. I knew my fish were in tip top condition and I could not have being my fish. I then had a look at the new fish I bought and all three was "Bloated" as. I then caught them again - Into a separate tank, cleaned out my show tank and hope for the best. I read on the net that "Bloated" sickness is severe and you will lose all your fish if not treated. I do not have anything to treat them with and I can only get medication over the weekend. I have decided only to buy from breeder from now on. So I will need to find some guys in AKL that sell/Breed cheers

I have the standard socolofi. Just found another female at the pet-shop the weekend. I striped the female last weekend and she had 25+ babies. I left the babies inside the tank in the breeding net. Next morning half was dead. I then decided to move them in with the other babies thats a few weeks old. next morning all of them were missing. That is what you get from being a novice at cichlids. The babies use to be in my 600L tank (was thinking they will grow faster) Moved them into a smaller tank over the weekend.

Hi ryanjury I bought 4 adults on trademe. Pure as they get .................... Two females are currying babies at this stage and I need to strip them the weekend. I'm looking for new blood to add the the four I already have. They are in my community/display 600L tank at present and I'm going to move them to a breeding tank to be on there own. TA
