I'm waiting for my aunt to get to it together and send it (a whole box of important stuff). May just send the guy some money to pay him for his time etc to send me another copy. (not having it is stopping my fish profile on rtbs from being allowed up cause I cant prove the breeding info :angry: )

PMSL :lol: :lol: :lol:

So where IS? :rolleyes: 2005/2006 LOTS of research (internet/printed/verbal - fish clubs) on one of my fave fish RTBS First half last year talking to an owner/operator of a fish shop located other side of the city, about this that etc, came up I was interested in breeding redtails, he told...

The filter pump on one of my all-in-one tanks died during january, replaced it with a internal power filter rated to the tank, no worries. Over the weekend I decieded to mod the filter into a pump for the original trickle filter works fine just doesnt have the throughput I'd like, and I cant...

I must disagree here, My first tank a 20gallon high I had a very happy 5"+ adult RTBS happily in with an angel, swardtail, 5" bristlenose, neons, 1 khuli loach and an albino cory. The tank was purchased 2nd hand with stock (had been set up that way for a more than a few months) and we left it...

hmm, somewhere between Red tail sharks featherfin Syno's apistogramma agassizii but theres lots of others I love but for aquatic and non-fish my fave is orca's Andrew

PS forgot to say to make things really confusing its common for dwarf cichlid subdominate males to actually show female traits, eg not grow trailing filaments, the ovipositer bit I dont know, but eg in apistogramma turn yellow like female etc. This is done to for 2 reasons a-so they dont get...

the presence of an ovipositer makes it highly likely its female (I havn't seen a male rams tackle so I cant really comment as to if its similar and easy to mistake as an ovipositer) but just because it does not have an ovipositer doesnt meen its male, thats all i was trying to say, sorry if I...

First up the rams are eating (bloodworm), thats good second, the rams are staying in one part of the tank plants/caves etc, whats the rest of the tank like? It could be that they are a bit shy and taking a bit of time to get used to the new home (some dwarf cichlids are like this, others are...

1st I'm not looking for a flame war about what you should/shouldnt do, keep with what, whatever, I'm just looking to see what people keep with what to help expand my options down the line So, whats the largest fish you keep with dwarf cichlids eg - rams, apistogramma, dicrossus, crenicara, krib...

Lack of an ovipositer does not guarantee male, just as a yellow tummy and red trailing filaments are not guarantees of male or lack of mean female. When sexing many types of cichlids (and fish in general) with many there are no hard and fast rules, only general guidelines. When fish have been...
