where did you get the rocks from? I just got a 700litre tank and 40kg calcite but i still need rocks. Was thinking of limestone as well :roll:

I have 2 fully grown adults, 25-30cm now i think. They get along fine with my malawis and eat heaps if you give them the food Mine sometimes fight with each other and chase each other around, hope this helps :bounce:

Just for those who wanted to know 1. Metriaclima/Maylandia Greshakei (Ice Blue Zebra) I must say, looks awesomely colourful, i'm sure it would look better on a side angle Here's my one Edit - picture was a bit big 2. Cyrtocara Moorii (Blue Dolphin) Nice colouring, how big are they? 3. Metriaclima Estherae "OB"?? (OB Zebra) I wish i could get hold of some of the yellow/black ob's my don't have the yellowy back colour 4. Lithobates female? (I'm probably wrong on that one :roll: ) 5. Nimbochromis Venustus (Girraffe Hap) 6. Aulonocara Baenschi (Sunshine Peacock) 7. Melanochromis Auratus (Auratus)

there is hinuera stone which i think is limestone, they use it for bricks/houses haven't tryed to get any though might be good for someone that could sandblast some holes in it?

i got a bag of "white marbel chips" 25kg from hollywoods mt. roskill for my new 700litre tank yesterday for $42 or somthing like that. Is this the same? I've got it form there before but i was under the impression it was aragonite but i guess if it's calcite it can only be better lol :bounce:

brazilian butterfly plec?

awesome looking fish, not sure what it is though http://www.dotphoto.com/SAN1/21/CC/C3/i ... D3800C.jpg

looks liek red eyes to me? maybe just the angle?

Ira, maybe malawi's that look the same body shape are from the same genus (hint hint) and some tangs look the same as well eg. alto comp. and alto calvus, just different colouring.

never seen any of those in nz, we dont get any fish with tilapia in their name i dont think because there is a pest with that name??

my 2 are in different tanks at the moment, one is a small male that i am griwing up to breed, the other is a full grown female that breeds with random malawis hopefully breed them in 6 months or so

i have 2

i find peas easiest just out of the freezer, defrost them in some tank water and go but then all the pea-shells get left around the tank Dan

soo..........who's gonna make me a ph meter??

the shelves will tip

i'm interested, got any pics?

try the via-aqua powerhead range. i think they have them at sog. 1100lph about $45 ea. they do have a smaller 450lph model though. Dan

BRISTLENOSES!

real rocks work better, make sure you can lift them in and out of the tank easily or watch out tank?? i find real rocks easier here is my tank

tks agen caryl for a great read

plz plz plz let me know if they breed :roll: I have a stunning male but cannot find females. Do you have pics of yours?? thanx Dan

they told me they dont take responsibility for deaths, thats all

my 210x60x60 tank has 12mm glass i'd go for 14/15 if i was you, 12 mm is thick though i get now reaction from tapping the glass

yay! my Gba's bred the other day, i only found out just before when my male moved for the first time in 4 days. I brought 10 of them from kyle at about 2-3cm and it is very satisfying for them to now breed. Hoping for the best i will leave the first lot and then see what happens after that. Daniel :bounce:

one watt per litre should do it, you would need plenty of circulation though
