I've heard that if you stick a lettuce leaf in the tank overnight, the next morning all / vast majority of the snails are on it. Then just remove it and dispose! :wink:
Well, it too nearly a month but my nitrite went down and my fish are in :D
16 2-3" mbuna are swimming around very happily, with a syno multi, in their new home. Can't wait to get started on the older tank with some apisto's. I'm gonna let it for a while though as I've just bought a 6x2x2...

cichlidforums.com crashed a while ago and I'm having a lot of difficulty getting access to it now.
One of the moderators put all his cichlids - malawi mbuna - in his pond over the summer and said they grew much much more than the others in the tank. He put loads of texas holey rock in, a few...
I was using Cycle for 2 weeks which has "500 million good bacteria per dose"! I've stopped that now. Admittedly, I started off with all new rocks and gravel, so maybe that's where my problem lies. Tonight I was going to take some of the water out and fill up with water from my existing tank...
I have a 180l tank that is cycling. For the last 2 weeks I have been adding bacteria but still have sky high nitrite (ammonia etc are fine). My LFS advised to not add anymore bacteria (cycle - Hagen), and to just let it run its course. However, patience is something I am running out of...
I place small bags of ice in my tank every half hour - not all day though as I'm not there, but whenever I can. My light is turned off too incase that warms the water slightly. I keep the curtains closed so the room doesn't heat up too much either. Some people put fans by the tank - I don't...
Aspen,
When you say 'overstocked' apisto tanks, how many is overstocking? Could I get a away with 2 pairs/trios? I'm possibly going to go with the cacatoides and pandura (pandurini)
Should I get a pair or a MFF trio?
I'm gonna go with the glowlights (6) and neons (6), I think that would...
Thanks Neil,
I was going to go for 3/4 pairs of apistos (1M,1F) with a shoal of maybe 6/8 rummy noses or neons. Could I fit any more smallish tetras in?
I'm not too sure what plecs do well in pH's of 6...? Any suggestions?
I've got a small Rena filter I'll use instead of the UGF, and...
Hi guys,
I found this on the 'net, thought I'd post it here so we can get some more signatures and hopefully put a stop to this barbaric practice. It's a shame what lengths some people will go to for a bit more money :cry:

Hi Eva32181,
Thanks for the quick reply. :)
I'm not interested in breeding so much as lots of fish! In my current 20 gallon I've got 17 malawi cichlids (2 - 3") can I raise this number? Is the territorial/aggressive factor present in an apisto tank? and what type of, if any, pleco...
Hi everyone, :D
I'm normally an african malawi kind of gal but need to get a larger tank for them (50 gallon), and so was thinking of going over to apisto's in the 'older' 20 gallon.
I've done a bit of research, water conditions, community tank mates etc but need a little help.
How...
