i didn't know the azureus had the orange on the dorsal??

i'm pretty sure pseudotropheus is out the door or it could be that just pseudoptropheus zebra was split into maylandia/metriaclima and there is still a debate going on about maylandia and metriaclima at the moment, it will end up as one or the other

ummm #3 Sciaenochromis Fyeri (reason for not being ahli is because of orange on anal fin) #4 Mayandia/Pseudotropheus Callainos otherwise some sort of zebra. #5 just a guess but could be Maylandia Estherae or Maybe some sort of zebra again. #6 Maylandia Crabro hope this helps :bounce:

do you have the recipe?? :bounce:

its been approved now :bounce:

it will still have to be approved by a mod.

more pics of 800litre tank have been added :bounce:

tropheus duboisi - common name "duboisi" yes it is a cichlid, can be aggressive at times. any tile i think, hmmm ones from the garage work good :bounce: i have some pics of the tank at the previous owners house i will put them on. :bounce:

i'll upload one sometime this week :bounce:

He you go :bounce: comment away lol :bounce:

are you planning on moving?? i let my water sit for a few days until you can't smell the chlorine, otherwise get spring water from on top of the kaimais

if they breed watch out, they go agro but one should be fine by itself, just a normal peaceful fish. :bounce:

you've probably met me before i am a 14 year old kid with blue glasses :bounce:

oh ok lol :bounce:

hope i can make it :bounce: :lol:

profile looks right, where did you get him/her from, they are from lake victoria in africa but i haven't seen them in nz b4

so is it worth getting wax worms from biosuppliers??

ok socolofi, estherae, crabro and yellow labs are all found quite commonly in lfs's all the rest i have never seem in NZ, although i think some maybe be on the import list. you may like labidotropheus trewavasse i think thats the right name :-? pseudotropheus kingsizei pseudotropheus aurora melanochromis johannii those are sometimes found in shops

ok thanx for that Shane

also does anyone have a recipe for the mixture that you culture wingless fruit flys with?? oh and is there anything else out of waxworms blowflies locusts and crickets that can be cultured and fed to fish?? trying to get as much variety with live food as possible also what day does brian at the goldfish have daphnia?? or do you order it?? i want to buy some but forgot to ask him last time i was there :roll: oh and is there any other types of live food that can be cultured that i haven't mentioned excluding bbs whiteworms mealworms and microworms?? thanx in advance for all of the help :bounce: hehe :bounce:

i am ordering some stuff from biosuppliers and i see on the list they have "paramecium culture" what is this and how do you culture it/them. i read it is a fryfood so i take it that it is some sort of small organism any help would be much appreciated :bounce:

i am getting 2 1/2 buckets anyone could buy a bucket and divide it up and sell on trademe, (not sure on profit though) i am sure there will be plenty of people in waikato wanting bs flake or spirulina flake. polgara - maybe you could put this in the newsletter. :bounce:

kool congrats on the fry, what sp. of mouthbrooders were they?? my copadichromis borleyi bred for me this afternoon, i was watching them and the female had quite a mouthful (50 or so) and they were breeding still but then the female tryed to lay eggs but none came out, she did this a few times but nothing happened, she probably ran out of eggs because the auratus male keeped on eating them. fingers crossed for this batch. i tend to strip them after a few days and hatch the eggs myself, the tank they are in is quite crowded so the females tend to spit out the eggs within a week of breeding because they get stressed. the other female is also ready to breed now, along with the venustus (almost bursting) blue lumpheads, and baenschis (my last batch fungused because i didn't do enough water changes on them :roll: hope that wasn't too long and boring :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: whoopeee hahaha i love this one

kool pics what variation of alto's are they?? i have a pair that i want to breed but the female isn't really interested and gets beaten up easily. any tips, where do you get shells like that?? thanx Daniel

so the new fishroom is finished?? if so i might go there today, do they give discount to card holders?? thanx Daniel
