yes, i've been doing that lately, walking slowly, even instructed my kids too but its only a couple of them that really get startled, it would appear, and they seem to get the rest of them startled too i suppose i'll just have to be patient then thanx

No, I haven't tested the water parameters yet, will do so. But I have redone the rock layout and the fish are all over the place now. Esp at night when I sit still and watch them, its a real joy. But when they see movement most of them hide, then come out soon after again. So thanx alot for...

I really liked the rock set-up, took me a while to get it like that, but fish hiding most of the time just upset me ... so I removed all the rocks on Friday evening, I was amazed to see that I now have 15 yellow labs of various sizes. I put 40% of the rocks back, I'm seeing my fish now and the...

Hi My malawi set-up Above is the pic of my tank, its a 55g. Lotsa rocks. Has external fluval and an internal filter. Set-up running for 18 months or so. Stocked with 2 estherae, catfish, pleco, pakistani loach, 2 acei, textilis, and 6 yellow labs (and 2 livngstonii, but I'm giving them away -...

I plan on getting a 50cm cube tank and need some help stocking it. I've seen some great looking gouramies, blue ones. Would they be suitable for this size tank. If so, how many and what could I add with them. I prefer having a school of one type (like 15 or so T-Rasboras) and a couple showpiece...

Hi I posted a topic few days ago about filtration for my 220L, 120cm long malawi tank. Haven't added my yellow labs and demasoni yet. Got some geophagus and estherae and pleco in there now. Plan is to just have yellow labs (5) and demasoni (15). I mentioned that I have a fluval 205 canister and...

so what do i add to improve filtration?? if i the fluval 205 and the powerhead each does 3X per hour, does that mean i have 6X per hour and just need to get another filter to add another 4X per hour??

thanx so the Fluval 205 would be fine then?? the box just confused me a bit, said 200L and 40USG

Hi I have a 1,2 meter 220L tank which I want to stock with 5 yellow labs and 15 demasoni. I have a Dolphin F2000 internal filter and a Fluval 205 canister. Would this be sufficient filtration? Thanx. Rifaat.

Hi I have a betta in a 12L with a platy and swordtail and some little tetra - all about 2-3cm. (Petstore sold me the combination). Usually everyone stays out of the betta's way. Sometimes he charges them, but the way too quick for him. But I noticed one evening that the platy was occasionally...

Yes, I can make alternate arrangements for the pleco and loach. But won't I need som other bottoem feeder. Its not coral sand, its crushed coral, gravel. Mixed with normal gravel. How many of the shelldwellers, multies would I add.
