While maintaining a certain level of pH in the home aquarium, you have to take in to consideration where and how these fish were raised from fry. Many of the fish available on the market are pond raised or raised in a home aquarium. Many of the fish you find at the LFS already are accustomed to...

I would have to agree with semper on this one, they do get very large and with their size their agression level increases. One thing that concerns me is the feeding of dither fish whatever the species you choose. With the budda getting to be such a large size I would be concerned with the...

Wow those are some spectacular pics of your tanks......Truely impressed, Takes alot of dedication to have something that nice Would love to see more shots of your S.Fryeri.......Love his coloring Les

Those are some of the sweetest pics of Lake Malawi I have ever seen......He is a very lucky man Les

First off with a tank that is 30 long you are going to have to take into consideration the size of the fish. In a 30 inch long tank I would recommend going with a small colony of Yellow Labs....maybe 5 or 6 As far as your rocks you dont need to go to the top of the tank with them........just a...

Yes. please inform us as to what types of cichlids you have.....Most of the time the male is the bigger and more colorful but thats not always a good indicator....Please give us a name and we will be able to help you out Les

Well I will be one that says having apistogrammas in a smaller tanks in small numbers like 3 or 4 will do fine with tetras like the black skirt. Granted as these dwarfs grow out you will need to think about going with a bigger tank.....A 30 would be sweet and plenty of room. I get the feeling...

I think that cichlidaddict is on the money.......it certainly appears to be a rusty.... Another great addition to a Malawi tank Les

I have to agree with the others about the driftwood in the african tank. As they said they prefer a more rocky bottom as to anything. The ph stated is about right too.....My tanks stay at around 8.2 so my water is pretty good. Another thing to watch with using drift wood is that it leeches tanin...

Exiled, From what I am reading you are taking your time to do this right, which I commend you as a fellow fish keeper. I noticed that you are reading uo on your fishless cycling which can be good. I personally dont care for it but I can understand where a new first timer would be interested. But...

I think the Haplochromis sp.44 and the Xystichromis phytophagus (Christmas Fulu) make great Vic cichlids. Very colorful and are truely enjoyable Les

After long and careful consideration I feel the time has come for me to venture out into different avenues. Circumstances over the past few weeks have lead me to make this decision. The choice is not one I make lightly as I will miss a great many of you as I have come to know many of you as...
