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...
What is a very fast growing plant that I can use to soak up nutrients in my 125 gallon Congo River Tank? I was considering Vallisneria gigantia.
I think that Hygrophila polysperma is banned in my area, at least I haven't seen it for sale here.
Thanks![/i]
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...
This doesn't really have anything to do with dwarf cichlids, but this is just wrong. And I thought that Flowerhorns were messed up. :x

Gobiocichla ethelwynnae! :D They look crazy, like someone dyed a wonderi yellow, stretched it out, and then went over it with a rolling pin. The male is 4 inches long, but about a third of an inch wide and a sixth of an inch tall! the female is , of course, shorter and stockier. The pattern on...
I saw a fish sold under this name at my LSF. The males were dark purple-black-red with vague black stripes and the females were light and silvery. I normally keep west africans, but these guys caught my eye. I know vics need hard, slightly alkaline water (PH 7.6, my tap water), and dark gravel...
What do y'all know about Lamprologus congoensis? As far as I know, it shares habitat with steatocranus tinanti, casuarius, etc, making it a rheophile. I this species easy to keep? What size tank would be needed? And should the food be predominantly worms or shrimp? Could it share space with Pv...
I mostly keep West African dwarfs and Malagasay cichlids, but some Teleocichla centrarchus at my lsf have caught my eye. What size tank would be goold for one or two pairs? Could they share a twenty long with a pair of Pelvicachromis taeniatus Lobe? Do they need RO water, or would peat filtered...
I am hoping to set up a 125 gallon Madagascar biotope tank in the near future. I am planning to have Madagascar Rainbows as dithers. I was wondering which cichlids from that region are in the most need of captive breeding efforts. Also, where could I obtain these cichlids? In my area, the only...
I have some Bolbitus heudelotii in a moderately lit aquarium with W. African dwarfs. It is growing well. I have heard of the plant reaching "critical mass" and growing a rhizome so fast that it can be divided every couple months, etc etc. Is this true or bull? If true, how can I get it to grow...
I recently got some Steatocranus casuarius. My experiance with rheophiles is limited to my gorgeous mated pair of S. tinanti (these guys are so cute!, they are some of my favorites, and just about the most loving pair of cichlids in my fishroom). But when I went to my LSF tonight for fish happy...
Hi, I'm new to this whole thing, but I've checked out y'all's postings for a couple of years now. This is a real cool site. I keep and breed West African dwarfs from Guinea, Cameroon, Nigeria, and the country formerly known as Zaire. If anyone in the central Texas area would respond, I'd really...
Does anyone have any Gobiocichla wonderi? I can't seem to find them anywhere, and they look so cool. I'd love to have a pair in my 40 gal with my Steatocranus tinanti!
