What else do you have in your tank? Convict cichlids are like the South American version of canary kurpers. In fact, I am not even sure why they...
Agree, Echinodorus. These plants do not tolerate drying out - it has to be submerged and stay that way. They are lovely plants, and grow well even...
I echo that. Super photos, and very nice fish.
Good grief. Now that I see what fish you have in that tank, not a small heart attack. I would have needed new socks and underpants, I think.
It is a crustacean, and will therefore be very susceptible to copper sulphate treatment. I suggest you capture the affected fish, and do a short...
We had one in our house for something like four months - its name was Hairy Maclary. It took care of mosquitoes etc, but unfortunately had a fatal...

I see a few more tanks coming on soon! Anyway, welcome here.
Ouch! That's my valley, unfortunately. But yes, there are better aquaria. Pretoria Zoo is actually quite nice, too. I used to go there as a...

I was in the Fourways area this weekend, having to fulfil a promise to buy my two kids each a fighter fish for their separate aquaria. Well, same...
It was caused by a leaking valve body or seat, or a leak at the thread where it is screwed into the cylinder, or a valve not being properly closed...
AFAIK, livebearers are able to store sperm and have several batches of fry after having mated only once, or long after the actual mating took...
This is very, very bad. As if bluegill and bass haven't wreaked enough havoc in SA streams and dams. Who is actually this idiotic, to introduce...
Beware of cheap ladies. If you find one for R6, she's likely to have a few miles on her :laugh:.
Oy, that's a big problem. I am dead scared of large tanks. Hope you get it fixed and all the fish survive, good luck young man.
@RoGe and @Marco, The background principles merely helps one understand in which direction to make an adjustment when things aren't working as...
Separate names with a comma.
