Who Gives A Fish Forums

I've been reading up on callochromis and it seems they're sand-dwellers, which has me a bit concerned about the escargot shells covering my sand - I added 70 of them for the multis, but I'm starting to think it might've been overkill.

From what I've gathered, they seem to thrive in a setup with ...

I'm quite fond of those callochromis, actually. Are they typically kept solo or in groups? I've been having some second thoughts about the julies - I do love them, but I've been worrying a bit too much about their pair bonds breaking. I've heard from a few people that their julie pairs split after a ...

I'm more concerned about their long-term safety, even though I'm aware that calvus grow at a glacial pace.

I've been reading that juli pairs tend to break up easily when their environment changes, like during tank rearrangements or large water changes. Not sure if it's just a myth, but I don't want to risk it, especially since I've been moving around a lot lately.

And yeah, I meant leleupi, thanks for ...

I've got a concern that's been bugging me - either the calvus or cylindricus might see the female multis as a snack when they're fully grown, given their mouth size. Both species have pretty substantial mouths, which has me worried. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Cylindricus and leptosoma seem to be okay, temperament-wise. Beuscheri, on the other hand, is a whole different story - I've heard they're pretty aggressive.


I've had a look at caudopunctatus online and from what I've gathered, they seem to be shell spawners but spend most of their time among ...

I'm still a bit concerned about the size difference, but I've been thinking about the cylindricus and I'm wondering, would they really ...

I'm almost ready to start stocking my tank now. Originally, I was set on a julidochromis tank, but after digging deeper, I found that juli pairs tend to break up easily. I don't want my pairs to fight once I move out of my parents' house. So, I'm switching to neolamprologus brichardi as my main rock ...

Give them time, practice makes perfect. They won't learn if you just pull the eggs.

Removing the oceon rock will indeed change the pH, and its impact on your fish depends on the speed and extent of this change. It could have minimal effects or, in the worst-case scenario, prove fatal for your fish. To better understand the potential risks, I'd like to know the pH and hardness of ...
