Nope, don't buy from Rapps anymore...there are 'better' vendors out there to say the least... :good:

Oh, you also need some of these for that tank...;)

Nice!! That looks VERY crisp!! I like the moss ball to! Not to complex, yet very relaxed as well! Pimping!

I believe these ones actually came from Columbia, but I'm not entirely certain. They are definately an interesting fish. Love their colors and all...very cool. Can be a bugger to feed though cuz they generally only like fine, small foods. Luckily got them onto frozen brine shrimp, but its being...

One is close to almost 9". The smallest of the four is about 4 to 5". :good:

Here is a quick feeding vid. I took a while ago...loooove watching them eat. Did I mention they are filter feeders? :D BIG GULPS EH?

No, no mouth brooding yet...not sure how they breed really. Never been captive bred before. They are indeed 100% South American cichlid! :D

They are indeed a type of cichlid...SA actually. Not a dwarf or a ram though. :D Very unique in several ways....;)

:drool:

Hmmm....just changing all them around.

120 ppm is between Very Soft and Soft on my test kit. Thats odd. Hmm, alright. I'm already there I think, between 80 - 120 ppm. I'll check it tonight I guess and see where its at. I would feel more comfortable at 200ppm though, everything will be more stable, plus its closer to the breeders water.

Alright, I checked it out and I got KENT AF CICHLID CICHLID CHEMISTRY. I asked the breeder what his water is like, he said that its basically liquid rock. Pretty hard, but the pH is 7.8. He also said that they would just adjust to what I have and would be just fine. I am still going to bring the...

Thanks guys. I got a RiftLake Conditioner, can't remember which brand it was. It said on the side that it will help raise the hardness and make the conditions in the tank favorable for African cichlids without significantly raising the pH. It said you should raise the Hardness with the...

I guess the question I should really be asking is, do I NEED to be messing with this stuff? The fish were in there for over a week, and there seemed to be no problems. I just don't want to start messing with parameters and stuff, cuz once you do things can start getting crazy. I'm hoping it...
