thank you. will try. Rotorua and Auckland :slfg:

It is whitespot. comprehensive.thank you. the tank has been set up for at least 8 months with gravel, rock, diftwood and a little plant. I have taken out all those just fish in it at the moment. the water was straight from tap. always foggy proberly because of the Oscar I put in I assume.

I am recently experimenting a difficulty of keeping fishes. there is a kind of disease spreading in my tank. most of fish are effected. some were killed (some angels, tiger barb, Tbars, geophegus), some are still alive. but I think dying soon. there are a lot of white spots( or bubble) on the scales, fins. then later on, the fish become less active, then very quite, and die. :facepalm what can i do, please &c:ry

will do :happy2:

hi david, good to hear from you and thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience here with us. you got a very nice tank, man. love those Geophegus. I have been to Jacks heard you got ten Midas, good on you mate. cannot wait to see them in your tank. forgot to mention that I have a mild-aggressive set up with: Angels Gourami T-bar Keyhole Albino Oscar Firemouth Geophagus Chocolate Uaru from your advise, I will eventually add Severum in this aquarium. they are stated in a 240L tank at the moment. I got these spicies base on what I have seen from pet shops, breeders as well as Trade me. I haven't listed Cuban unfortunitley, but would like to add it into my collecting list. I am not so sure about how to tell the differences between carpintis and cyanoguttatus. I got them from a breeder at the Garden. they are extremly growing fast. got them when they were fry 2/3 monthes ago. Now they are about 12cm. Parachromis friedrichsthalii ???... :dunno: yeh, apparently my one is Trimac, you know, no doubt got them from Taranaki. doesnt look as beautiful as I was expecting. your advises are always welcome in my topic. by the way, if you know anyone doing some nice cichlids, keep me informed. cheers

Yes I got 4 from the guy in Auckland. Beautiful tiny attracters haven't shown colour yet, still in breeder tank, but gonna be nice exhibits in my future monster tank I believe. Ok I will take you to him. I will proberbly see you at the end of May. my shop will be sold by then

got two already. still small. but nice looking fish. David got quite a lot. perfect fish for Amazon River base set up.

hi all, I am quite intereted at American Cichlid, stocky, solid and aggressive. it is a big joy of watching them chasing and bullying over each other. I am collecting all sorts of American Cichlid which can possibly grow big. now my collection includs: :digH: red headed cichlid texas flowerhorn jack dempsey Green terror severum albino oscar convicts midas I have put my order thru for some Jag and chocolate. also will get some Uaru eventually. is there any other cichlid that you could think of, or you know anyone breed bizare cichlid. I heard there are some feastas/red terror or salvini around. is there anyone breeding them or unwanted for sale. that will be so awesome. pm me :sml1:

this is a very timid spice not good for a community

It is called red head cichlid. can grow very big. I got one but small 12 cm. there are some for sale at the pet shop in Rotorua valued at $ 27.50 each. size 20cm, the fish is proberbly about 1and half year ~2 years old looking at $35.00+ less $45.00

agree with that and a decent amount of black substrate to complete with

:love: thanks everyone
