Shellie Pix...
Nice fish David, they are really good looking. They look like carbon copies of my Katabe.
Fogelhund, all are in a 15 gal right now. I plan to move the 2 Katabe to a 10 gal by themselves. Will that be big enough? I just bought another 15 gal at an auction and was planning...
Shellies
Thanks David,
I am really going to enjoy them, they seem to have even more personality than most cichlids. A friend of mine has a pond full of large snails that he eats... :? yuck! He said I can have all the shells I can haul away. He's talking 5 gal buckets here. I think I will...
Heater wattage vs tank capacity...
What is the formula for heater wattage vs tank capacity? I have heard that it is something like 5 watts per gallon, is that correct?

Mosquito larvae...
MoOn,
I think the disease poosibility they are talking about is when the female bites a bird infected with the West Nile Virus there is a possibility that it could be transferred to the mosquito eggs and then larvae which become adults which could bite you or your pets or...
I recently acquired some shell dwellers at a club auction here in north east Ohio. Two different varieties of Neolamprologus Brevis (3 Mtoto and 2 Katabe) and four small Neolamprologus Hecqui which I had not heard of before the auction.
I purchased some sea shells for them at a craft store...
Ray,
In no way did I mean that the breeder did something intentionally! That is ridiculous! What I meant to say was that the problem was probably with the water parameters that they were spawned and raised in Vs that of the LFS. I presume that the damage was done to their systems by the...
Kribs
When my fry start to stray I placed my mated pair back with the original group of 10 kribs that I bought some time ago and now find that they are starting to defend another barnacle in the group tank. :lol: Soon I will have another batch of fry and a decision to make on where to put the...
Blue Rams...
:( Well, so much for the blue rams... Both of them died within 24 hrs. I went back to the lfs to get my $ back and every one of them had died in the tank at the store. They lost about 20 within 2 days. Nobody knows what was wrong with them.
I had my tank all ready with low...
Blue Rams
2la,
Hey, I just bought two blue rams at my lfs and was able to net them myself. :D I looked for and found one with the white spots overlaying the black spot and one with the black spot with no white overlays. Thanks for the tip! 8)
The female seems to have the better color of...
I have recently decided to keep the smaller cichlids as opposed to the bigger ones and have been blessed with a small spawn of Kribs. I have about 40 fry now after 4 weeks. They are doing very well on micro worms and frozen BBS with some fine flake food being thrown in now that they are...
Sexing rams.
Very nice photos, 2la! It was very easy to see what you were talking about when you said the speckles overlay the spot on the female and not on the male. I am about to take the plunge and buy four or five German Blues from my lfs. Is $5.50 each a reasonable price?

White worm cultures...
Where is a good place to get a starter culture of white worms? I have a ton of micro worms going, but would like to get some of the larger ones for the adult fish. Kribs, perlmutts and daffodils that I have. I would be willing to trade culture for culture if anyone is...
Images allowed but kept at 50k or less...
I agree with MOoN. I really enjoy seeing photos as I read the posts in the other forum I visit (Cichlid-Forum). They even have a separate forum for aquarium photography that is very cool. You can learn a lot from the various post and discussion on...
