ah yes. so hm about a month and 1/2 ago i had 2 africans holding. a yellow lab and a red zebra. yellow lab swallowed her eggs 2 1/2 weeks in. and the zebra was succesful in gving birth. now i have another zebra holding. been holding for about 3 days. so the last time i removed both fish from their tank into a seperate tank. im not gonna remove the mom this time. theres enough hiding places for the babies. im not to worried. well i realy just have no more room for fry. but ok. so can i get a congratulations or what here?

i'll post a pic of the newly remolded tank soon.

oh ok. awesome
thanks for the info!


yea the babies are acually come'n along quite nicely. i feed them dreid brine shrimp, freshly hatched brine shrimp, and powderd cichlid flakes.

lots more then whats photod. there is around 23 or 24 babies.

heres the cichlid tank where all this "action" keeps taken place.

and heres what it use to look like.

 

[cichlidcrazy]

wow nice tank but i dont envy you catching fish out of there do you have to take all the rocks out ?

 

[ridewake210]

yup!

all rocks come out. usually go ahead and vaccum also while everything is out.


its os much work. everyone in this house hold know how i dread to remove every single roack and start all over. i love that tank though. out of 9 tanks it is my favorite. no questions asks. i love cichlids. a 55g thats in my room is geting converted to a 55g cichlid tank. probably another african. not much of a selection of cichlids from where i am. well the cichlids i like atleast.

would really like a few cobalt blue cichlids. only seen like 2 around here.

 

[guppy_man]

tank looks good, but i like what it used to look like,

 

[ridewake210]

yea so do i, im acually thinking about adding 2 or 3 more caves and then reducing the rock pikle to like 60% of the tank.

what do u think?
