  1. Hi

    In the last few months I have started a cichlid tank. I was at Animates and saw that they were selling Fish Fuel Co. frozen, meaty, cube food for cichlids. I didn't know you could get this stuff. So it's okay to feed this to cichlids? Can I do it regularly, or should I just do it occasionally to avoid risk of bloat?

    Thanks

  2. I have bought a second-hand Juwel Vision 260 (4ft) and I really want to set up an African cichlid tank. So far I have coarse-ish white beachsand which has been rinsed multiple times, a selection of rocks, heaters and filter (the stock Juwel filter) running and a couple of danios (borrowed from my community tank) in there cycling the tank for the last couple of months.

    Should I start with buying fry and growing them out? I'm presuming that will be cheaper. Should I start with say yellows and dems? In which order? And how many of each? I'm completely new to Africans but want to start this slowly and do it right! Any advice gladly received !

  3. I have a 160 litre community tank. I normally have no trouble keeping my fish alive. I have an eclectic mix of angels, gourami, various tetra, golden barbs and harlequins. Each day now for the past week, I have an average of 2-3 fish die. Normally they are neons but I recently lost 5 conchu tetras, a couple of golden barbs and a harlequin. Nothing has changed about my tank recently except the addition of a brand new and more effective filter. I do regular water changes and my PH levels are pretty normal.

    Any feedback/ideas/recommendations would be gratefully received!

  4. Hi, I have a healthy community tank. My one molly has for the last few days been seriously 'listing'. It can't seem to stay horizontal, and is constantly battling to keep its nose from pointing downward. I have seperated it and fed it mushed up peas (in case its constipated), but this doesn't seem to have worked. In every other way it seems fit and healthy. Any one got any ideas? Thanks. :tears:

  5. Thanks for the big welcome everybody!!! Can't believe how quickly I have become obssessed with my fish and tank :o . I have an AR-850 with 2 gorgeous swordtails, a a mama platty (who gave birth to four healthy, fast growing babies when I got her home :happy2: ) and 6 neon tetras. The tetras seem a bit aggressive to each other and the GORGEOUS TinytawnyKitten thinks it's because they need more school friends to play with so am buying some more tetras today. If anyone has some tropical fish (or just one beauty) that would go well with this combination, and would like to sell - I'd love to hear from you. I live in Houghton Bay Wellington
