Re: setting up a malawi rock

For a freshwater setup, I'd definitely recommend base rock or Texas Holey Rock if you can find it in your area. The live rock you're considering will essentially become dead rock once it's in your tank, but that's not necessarily a problem - it's just a matter of whether you're willing to pay the ...

Re: new six by two by two

Honestly, I'm stumped on background and lighting ideas, but with the tank's length, I'd definitely recommend using at least two 750-1000gph wave-makers, positioned to cross over at a 20-degree angle from the bottom up. This will create a really nice mid-tank break, assuming your rock arrangement ...

Re: new six by two by two

Not exactly the most exciting tank, but hey, it's a start. That little kid's adorable, though. On a more serious note, is that internal glass thingy meant for a sump or just some leftover storage from the LFS?

Re: is everything alright



If you're in the Denver area, I'd recommend checking out about-fish - despite the website being a bit outdated, the store itself is top-notch. Mark, the owner, is an ACA member and a seasoned African cichlid breeder who prioritizes the health of his stock over profits. He's got a vast selection ...

Re: is everything alright

I'm thinking, why not the yellow tails in a 50-gallon tank, they're only 6 inches long but man, they're super active. I've had some experience with them and I've found they breed pretty early too. I've got a 4-inch female that's almost ready to spit her first fry, which is awesome because this is ...

That foot-long fish would live with most Africans fine. I mean, there's a risk of eye plucking with Mbuna, just a heads up.

Re: keeping demasoni cichlids


Honestly, I'm shocked your demasoni haven't clashed yet - they're notorious for their aggression towards each other, usually recommended to be kept in much larger groups of 12 or more.

What specific type of peacocks have you got in there, by the way? I think they generally require more space, but ...
