kathiej Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 We were given a fairly big set up complete with some Jewel Cichlids. Lesson #1 Not all fish will live in peace with each other. (It's been a sharp learning curve!!) We no longer have the JCs L#2 LFS owners love newbies with visa. (U/G filters are no good you need a FluvalFX5 which we happen to have on special.... etc) I could go on but I guess everyone has similar stories. Lesson #3659 and learning still. Thank god for sites like this. Look forward to picking brains in the future. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might not always agree with each other but at least we aren't trying to sell you something The only thing we like to suggest is that you join an affiliated FNZAS club 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathiej Posted February 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Thanks everyone. Have learnt heaps already. So much info, so little time and memory capacity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianab Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Welcome Kathie In the long term you wont regret buying the FX5 filter - it IS WAY better than un undergravel system, especially if you get into keeping the bigger types of fish. It might be more filter than you actually need, but that never does any harm Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simian Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Welcome. Dam what killed your JC's I have one and he regularly beats up all the other fish in the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathiej Posted February 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Sorry been bit busy horsing to get back here. The JC's didn't die. I started with four. two bred and killed one of the others. I tried to find something compatible to live with them. Got 2 silver dollars which grew quite big but were being hounded by the JCs when their brood hatched. I phoned fish shops all round but no-one wanted them (before I Found this site) so I put them on trade me and gave them away eventually as I didn't want to end up with a tankful of aggressive little monsters that might start interbreeding. Now I have the samw deal with the silver dollars. I'm told that they don't mix too well with other fish either!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
