Yes, they are fairly sexually dimorphic. The male is longer, and his back is wider. The female is shorter, and her belly is larger, in typical westie fashion. One of my lfss often recieves shipments from reheboth aquatics and I picked up this pair. In my limited experience, the...
My Benitochromis "Makondo" are at it again, and this time the spawning took my totally by suprise. I just looked in there the other day and saw about 15 fry picking at the algae. I hadn't seen the female in any caves, so I'm guessing that they are ovophilous mouthbrooders.The female and male...
Ques qu'ils sont aussi mechant que les Lamprologus?
Florent, nos poissons sont tres beaux!! Would you say that this fish is as aggressive as Lamprologus congoensis? Also, what do these fish eat in the wild?
To my knowledge, the only species that is imported with anything approaching regularity is T. brichardi, with T. depressum being substantially rarer. T. monogramma is thought to be resticted in destibution to the river Kasai, whereas T. gracile is found in the mainstream of the Congo river...
Not an ideal planted tank
Not an ideal planted tank I have here. It's a 125 with two 30 watt NutriGrow bulbs that are incased in mirrored ballasts. There is no added CO2 beyond what the fish respirate. The tank is filtered by two emperor four hundreds. The tank is intended to simulate a Zaire...

I think that Hygrophila polysperma is banned in my area, at least I haven't seen it for sale here.
Thanks![/i]
TCA Show
There were no Westies there except one male krib. I was pretty disapointed. There were two nice pairs of Gymnogeophagus though. Unless you were into small Tanganyikans, there wasn't much action at the auction. I didn't check out Keller Farms, because I had to get back to Central Texas...
Slate?
Thanks, but I was hoping to have some sort of carpet for my low light, no co2 aquarium. Most of the ground will be covered by a mound of driftwood and rocks (which will be covered with Anubias nana, A barteri "longleaf", Bolbitus heudelotii, and java moss. I was hoping for a mossy, low...
What do y'all think is the bestway to create a java moss carpet? I was thinking of growing the moss on some kind of netting and then weighting the net down with pebbles. Would my dwarf cichlids get stuck in the net?Also, should I use cotton string or fishing line to attach java moss, java fern...
