SanityChelle Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Awesome! Totally going to be keep an eye on this one for my own research! For your stocking, did you stock for adult fish and just waiting for them to grow, or did you stock with the intention of getting rid of the more aggressive fish as they grow? I've been told that if you're buy juvies, you should buy at least double what you intend to have as adults, especially if you can't sex them yet.

I have stocked Juvi's as this is my first cichlid tank and I figured I would like to watch them grow and figure the rest out as I go , at a later stage if needed I would consider swopping out .

POWER77 Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Looking good! love the Dolphins! Has adding more fish helped bring the others out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trelize Posted July 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Yes , the dolphins have brought the other fish out a lot more , they do still get a bit spooked but generally the come out more , and having them out makes us spend more time at the tank so they get used to us being around so Win Win really ! :thup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trelize Posted July 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Got a slightly better quality clip last night , still trying to figure out the best setting on my cam , but clicking the HD setting on youtube seems to help a bit . http://youtu.be/ZU2e80YLlUM and one of the Cuckoos http://youtu.be/nNo7mBqfn7Q?list=UU2SCYR8qsQDdgo_eJZ2xIjw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trelize Posted September 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Been a while since I updated my "journal" I decided to do my sump a little differently so here is SUMP 2.0 The reason I decided to do a re-design was that my old sump was just too difficult when it came to maintenance , I would have to completely remove the plumbing to get to the tower and I had actually no more space for any type of media at all if I wanted to add anything so I got thinking and came up with what you see above , I finished it up last night after a few tweaks here and there and so far the result is much better , my setup was always pretty quite and you could just here a bit if a splashing around in the old sump tower , but now it is totally silent , all you can hear is a slight hum from the pumps so well pleased :bggrn: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trelize Posted September 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Got home tonight and found this little guy in the overflow, I checked the sump and tank but could not find any others ... :bggrn: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 That's another good thing about a sump set up like this (with the Poret foam), any fish that do find their way into the sump are usually fine. When I first added the tetras to my tank I was rescuing 1-2 a day, it gradually tapered off to about one a week, now it's been at least 3 weeks since I've had to fish one out. Surprised such a small fish would be able to "learn" like that, but I guess they can! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trelize Posted September 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Did a re-scape a couple weeks back , much happier with the layout now , lots more caves and spaces to swim through , seems to have brought the Cuckoo's out more ...

camtang Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Do I spy a yellow holding? Also nice DB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trelize Posted October 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 The dems , the yellows and the Red tops have been holding , I have not been getting them out though so only the strong survive at the moment and that's none :dunno: Its just that I have to dismantle the rock work to catch one of them so huge work ! I don't know if anyone has any suggestions for in tank breeding if any ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
