Mel Posted October 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Hi and welcome seems to be quite a few people popping up in Palmy recently which is sweet.. What cichlids did you want for your 350L tank? Hi, I remember buying a hex tank from you on TM awhile ago .. and I know you've got afew fishes as I've been in your fish room .. what kind of non aggesive cichlid do you have. We are new with the cichlids, but I like the electric yellows and hubby likes the jewels any thing nice and colourful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Cool is the tank going well? I have replied to your pm about fish A bit difficult to get non-aggressive cichlids most of them at the very least are a bit stroppy.. Jewels are cool fish very pretty and easy to keep, but also very aggressive and if your unlucky enough to get a pair they will dominate your tank and you will struggle to give away any babies.. A bit like convicts which you seem to enjoy so maybe jewels would be cool for you.. In a 350L tank you could make a very nice african cichlid tank, however they are considered aggressive, they will get along with their own type though..

Take care & have fun, Caper Yes you can indeed, but it just means ALOT of water changes .. hubby usually does 25% change each day & a full clean out at least every month. We feed Mr Turtle in a separate tank so the main tank doesn't get grubby to quickly. I will try and get some pictures up (if I figure out how to) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaide Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 u have a rainbow lorikeet too??? That awesome - my bird's name is rusty! Aren't they the sweetest things ever? We have Rainbow Lorrikeets wild here - very pretty birds to see flitting about. I haven't seen any yet (usual Spring birds are about: tuis, wood pigeons etc.) but not the Lorrikeets yet - might be too cold for them still. Welcome Mel (insert waving smilie here) You're well set up with loads of tanks (where do you put them all??!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
