make what better?

all the good african cichlid cichlid breeders and keeper etc. say that it is not wise to put peacocks with mbuna (yellows, zebras etc.) mbuna are very aggressive fish and have a highly veggie diet and peacocks are very peaceful and have and omnivorus/carnivorus diet. some poeple claim that keeping peacocks with mbuna shortens that life span of the peacocks, i dont know if this is true though. i still keep mbuna with peacocks and occasionally have a beaten up peacock, but they get better quickly so i dont really mind hope this helps. 8)

i got a bit of stuff for 30 something dollars 8) old aquaclear 300, 4 old heaters, film canister of brine shrimp, a few different plants, 1kg of zeocarb not bad aye

i would say that is definately a female, look closely, there is no pointed dorsal, it is just transparent, opther than that it just LOOKS like a female.

top picture - good looking male bottom picture hmmmm - very pale female or subdomoinant male.

i'm happy taking pictures of all my cichlids (you have a list of what i have polgara dont you??) pseudotropheus greshakei from what have heard is now maylandia greshakei (and thats what everyone on overseas sites like cichlid-forum.com calls them. hmm we could get frontosas on the fish list again, i know some people with them. so polgara are you volunteering to organise this?? i could help a bit if needed.

are those my yellows hands?? i still have 8 left at $8 each guys

hmmm calvus, would like to get hold of some of them, i have a pair of comps. (altolamprologus) that i am trying to breed, the male was being to agressive to the female so i separated them for a while. do you know who got the calvus, with this new import thingy, we could get them on the list, what variation were they?? black white??

tomorrow

craig, is you compressiceps an altolamprologus compressiceps or dimidiochromis compressiceps?

so do i take pictures of my fish that aren't on the fish list and send them where? what do i need to do?

so is Maf doing a review of the whole fish list? i have some african cichlids that i only have one of that i would want to get a few more of.

yep waikato and e, thats me maybe tomorrow

hmmm am i on the list?? i haven't got mine yet

wow you really have mastered the camera lol congrats on the fry

tropical blue is still going yes, i live 15 mins from there, where is the fish list??

hmmm that took a while to read unless that was just a whole lot of junk then i think you do know what you are talking about. I have some expensive fish too like alto comps. (can't get calvus here :evil: ) and a few other rare malawi's/tangs. what are your expensive fishes?? oh yeah i feed my altos on frozen mysis shrimp and some flake sometimes is this alright. also i feed my fish in my mbuna/hap 800litre tank frozen shrimps sometimes (from the supermarket and their colour imporved after a week or so. a greshakei (white body and orange fins) started getting a blue tinge to him. oh yeah and are mealworms alright, dad breeds them in the garage for his birds, he just feeds them banana peels and they are just in this bran stuff, no pollution thanx in advance

ok that i dont know 8) :lol: maybe hmmm naaa :-?

this frozen bloodworms/beef heart thingy only applies to MALAWI CICHLIDS maybe other rift lakes as well but anyway. live tubifex has heaps of bacteria so thats why you shouldn't feed them, if you feed bloodworms etc. too much to your AFRICAN CICHLIDS then they will get bloat and they could die. what are discus breeders going to know aobut african cichlids?? herefishiefishie i know has lots of experience in keeping african cichlids so i reccommend you listen to his opinions, i do feed frozen bloodworms to my africans sometimes but not enough to harm them, i find they improve colour in cichlids.

yay, i should be there 8)

tried mealworms?? i feed deformed guppies to my fish because what else am i going to do with them?? hmm dad has mealworms in the garage for feeding to finches :lol: Jude - in lake malawi there are either crocodiles or aligators, i can't remember which. :-?

tanksman how much $$ was the daphnia for how much daphnia was it??

holy crap, those two males are lucky :lol: do they normalloy hatch out lots of females and a few males?? could some be concealed in female colouring?? Eon might have some?? any for sale??

how big is decent size? they aren't always "blue" one of mine (a female) is a silvery blue colour.

i have about 50 cyrtocara moorii fry at the moment between 1 and 2cm. Sadly when you get them to 4-5cm aparently they grow slow up until they get to 10cm and then have another growth spurt. btw they have to be 3.5-4inches to breed.
