Tap water:
ph: 7.2
gh: 2
kh: 2
Goldfish tank:
ph: 7.6
gh: 3
kh: 4
Her tank just has pain gravel with some colored stones mixed in, and plastic plants...
hey,
I just got my 10 gal cube tank up and running a week ago. I haven't added any fish, just some Mylasian(sp?) driftwood. I just did a water test on the tank for curiousity and I was astomished to say the least! My PH is 6.0, and GH and KH are both 2 dGH!! :eek: I'm guessing either...
I found one! well its a bit bigger its a 10 gal cube so thats like 12.5 x 12.5 or so. Anyway I'm getting it all set up right now. Now I just need to figure out what to put in it...I'm thinking maybe a pair of Blue Rams or something :biggrin:
ya I ended up paying $70 can for the book and that is cheapest price I could find. There are only TWO places in all of canada that have the book. Lots list it but only 2 actually have it. those are Big Als and www.mops.ca. Mops is way cheaper then big als but Big al's will match the price...
Thanks Randall, I took a look around and found a pretty good one actually

hey,
I'm interested on getting my hands on a good comprehensive cichlid book. What I'm really after is one that has all of the cichlids separated into locations. As well I would like to have photos of each (both male and female), as well as info on behavour, breeding, nutrition, size...
hey,
I did a search for this and found some topics but were all over a year old, so I thought I would put this one out there. I'm appologise if I shouldn't of done this but I thought it may be more benifical for all of us. Anyway I'm looking for A. cacatuoides, abd A. borellii pairs. So...
ya hey nice tank!! I've actually beening thinking about doing this for quite some time myself. The problem is I haven't been able to find a small cube tank to do this with. I was wondering if you could let me know where you got yours or what brand it is. Also what did you use to make the...
ya I don't like the way to clay pots look in a tank. The coconuts can have plants grow off them and they just look more natural. As the PVC I like that idea because you can easily hide it below the substrate. Anyway Thanks for the input guys but I think I've decided on the coconuts :)
hey,
I know that I need to put caves in my tank but what i don't know is what size they should be. I was reading around on some threads here and I like the coconut idea, but I don't know how big the hole will need to be for the fish to be able to fit through. i was also thinking about maybe...
thanks for the replys guys, they've been a huge help!
I've decided to go with a Apistogramma cacatuoides, Apistogramma borellii, and otto catfish for a tank. I was looking around at substrates and a friend of mine told me this stuff was really good for plants and stuff...
Hey,
I have quite an extensive background with fish culture. I actually work at the fisheries and oceans and mostly I take care of the fish culturing (feeding cleaning, moving, etc.). I mostly deal with salmon, trout and domestic stuff like that. I've had a 12g eclispe tank for a few years...
