Sounds a great idea, trouble is that I will have to drill through my wall to get to the garage, were my cold water and drainage points are. (that method I will have to get permission...) Does the unit take up much space? Whats the cost?

Hi all, Being a bit of a newbie at this, I would value your input here what I could improve on, or what things I could do to make my life simpler. (apart from keeping a goldfish!) Currently, every 2 weeks I fill up 4 x 10 litre buckets with water on Saturday, and set them asside near a...

Right, before we finish this thread! Can we confirm that my Albino is suffering from eating blood worms, not from being harrassed by other fish. To be honest I havent seen the other fish go for her (I thnk), but I have 1 male and 2 females. D

Ahh, thats so cool. D :)

Lets hope its not too late for the Albino... Thanks for the help though :)

A couple of shops told me they fed blood worms to their Cichlids once a week! However one shop told me I should feed them shrimp and a floating pelet type feed. (A5 Aquatics in Leicstershire) Right. Off to take back the blood worms to Pets at Home... wish me luck.... (and hopefully not the...

Thanks for the info. I am quite new, and my book does not have any Moorii's in it. Could this be known as anything else? What might help a little, is that the blueness in the fish has been "exagerated" because of the camera flash and the angle to the fish. D

Any ideas?

Here we go:

Will do, when I get home...

Hi, I have only just brought 2 fish for my tank, and the store had "Malawi Blue Cichlid", as a description, and thats all. Has anyone any ideas which one it could be. The body seems to be a silver-grey-blue colour with vertical grey stripes. The top and back fin's have a slight tinge of...

Hi, Just to say hello and introduce myself. Just started keeping keeping tropical fish and have decided to keep Cichlids (South African). Started off with a few Plattys to condition the tank, and then moved accross. (dont worry, gave my Plattys to friend who has a community tank) My tank is...
