Re: ndumbi holding issues - seeking advice

If she's in the early stages, I think she's fine where she is, no need to move her just yet. The other fish in that tank are used to her, they'll leave her be. Putting her in a new tank with new tank mates could be a recipe for disaster, she'll get stressed and pestered. I'm not a fan of breeding ...

Re: ndumbi holding issues - seeking advice

Hey dougmac, your female ndumbi red top is probably holding eggs, which is a normal process. This usually takes around a month before they become free-swimming fry.

You might notice she segregates herself, stops eating, but don't worry, this is all part of the process. Now, you've got a few ...

Re: hello, i'm new here

Honestly, I think there's been a mix-up with your yellow lab - the one in the photos looks more like a red zebra to me. If the other one's the same, it's no wonder they fought after being stuck in the same bag for a while.

From what I've seen in your other thread, it seems like you're in the middle ...

Re: Will duncan's corals sting these?

Honestly, I'm not familiar with how a clam would interact. That being said, I have witnessed one of my duncans take a sweeper off a torch, and that torch has a pretty harsh sting - it's not a coral I'd want to mess with.

Re: regal yellow peacock

Sorry but I don't think your current stock is suitable for a yellow regal peacock - need to consider water parameters as well as tank mates.

Re: Does a solitary kribensis cichlid experience stress?

Kribensis Cichlids are actually harem breeders, so they don't really form long-term pair bonds. Adding another female to your tank should be fine, and the male will likely accept her without issue.

Re: are shoaling mbuna suitable?

A few of mine like to hang out in a tight little group, but it doesn't last long - one of the others always seems to come along and charge them, breaking the group up.
