  1. i don't know what's allowed or not but Haplochromis sp. "flameback" http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/s ... hp?id=1548
  2. so a male empress wouldn't be advised in a 300 litre tank then?
  3. looks bloody awesome.. i've read that male red emperess can be super agressive.. you don't have any issues with it and the other males in your tank? like "the boss" as you put it who i am guessing is a giraffe? :nfs:
  4. nah its got to be more then that... as the 100km round trip from here to invercargill and back uses 1/4 of a tank
  5. well i don't know the litreage per 100 km but we went to queenstown and back in it (roughly 400 km) and that was $120 in gas
  6. thats if i was gonna go v8.. not going too anytime soon... the 3 litre v6 pajero we got at the moment is hungry enough
  7. thanks but will have to pass on that. little out of reach at the mo
  8. yeah i know.. don't have the spare $150 they want for it though or the tank to put it in yet. um kind of maybe.. if its going cheap then yeah
  9. My partner who i am engaged to (can't spell the proper word for it.. i asked her and she said "s l a v e" haha) does that with her 20 cm tiger oscar :thup:
  10. hows the fish collecting going? don't know if your interested but there is a Royal Pleco out at diack's in lornville at the mo.. if i've got the name wrong http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/sp ... ies_id=151 is what it is. Tank looks good
  11. That would be the plan (a few fryier males without them killing eachother)... changed my plan really since seeing the pic of the redfin fryier. Looking at getting some off of tropheus when they ready and having a main group of them. and maybe having a few electric yellows with em.. either that or thinking peacocks if i can have them colour up. only male peacocks colour up right? females stay grey?
  12. how far away are we talking? and a cost?
  13. oh and the other one i have been thinking about is the Aurora Cichlid
  14. !drool: oh wow.. you have fry for sale very often?
  15. Ok i will keep in mind.. are the red fin fryier easy to get hold of in nz?
  16. ok so i didn't know jewels weren't africans. 6 brown haps ain't enough? i don't wan't any female electric blues as i wont really be able to tell the difference between the female brown haps and female fryier haps will i? can i have a decent group of male fryier without them getting too agresssive towards eachother? i've been told in the past that keeping fryier haps with peacocks id not a good idea as the male haps will kill male peacocks?
  17. the whole idea is to get something that will contrast with the colouring of the male blues and the brown haps... i know electric yellows will do this and thats also why i was thinking red jewels... i've never kept jewels and know nothing about them. (i know nothing about most fish to be honest) are there any other sugestions as to what i could put?
  18. Hey when i finally get round to setting up a tank again i was thinking of having 6 astatotilapia brownae (brown haps) with a couple or 3 male Fryier Haps (electric blues) and a couple or 3 either electric yellows or red jewels or maybe both.. looking at have a tank round the 300 to 400 Litre tank. just curious as to what people think of this combination or any susgestions. this will be early next year before i even think about getting it set up cheers
  19. :sage: no not bitter at all Smidey and if i were to go v8 i would not go aussie.. either american or european ghostknife
  20. to be exact its calf that has only been feed on milk.. thats what four day old bobby calves get made into
