    DIY Dwarf Cichlid Cave

    Yeah I am going to use silicone on the next ones. Just wanted to get them into the tank and see if the fish liked them. The female taeniatus in both tanks have moved from the flower pot caves to these new ones.

    Potential issues with Cameroon P. taeniatus populations

    Very interesting. It's too bad someone would do that for their own profit. Not unbelievable though.

    DIY Dwarf Cichlid Cave

    10 minutes or so. Got a coarse round steel file today and made the next one in about 3 minutes. :)

    Cat killed African Butterfly Fish

    Yeah my older cat is like yours, he's 12. My covers are pretty tight but there's enough room by the HOB filters for him to get his paws in there and snag the surface sleeping ABF's out. I can't lock him in a room he would try all night to get out and wake up the whole house. I can think of a...

    DIY Dwarf Cichlid Cave

    Decided to try to make a cave. Total project cost about a dollar. I bought 6 terra cotta pot trays. I put two together and cut a half circle in each for the door. I used twine to hold them together for the prototype, I will likely use silicone on the next one if the fish like them. The...

    Cat killed African Butterfly Fish

    My 5 month old cat killed two of my three african butterfly fish a few nights ago. He kept messing around my tank at 2am while I was in bed, I kept running him out of the room and he came back immediately I couldn't figure out why he wouldn't relent. Until I noticed the fish gone. I found one...

    Help: Camallanus Worms?

    Been a while since I posted, just wanted to announce that I have gotten the parasites under control without losing any more fish than the one pair of taeniatus. I am Camallanus free thanks to Levamisole HCL.

    I don't see p. pulcher in that female personally.

    Pelvicachromis taeniatus ‘Moliwe’

    Doesn't look like any Moliwe I've seen either. Not sure what region though.

    Help: Camallanus Worms?

    Is there a commercially available antibiotic to use?

    Help: Camallanus Worms?

    Ok, I did something pretty disgusting today, but I think it helped. I noticed the male taeniatus had passed his worms out and had a clear vent. The female had a pretty good mass that was not moving. I netted her out and took a pair of tweezers (which are now permanently "Fish Only" tweezers:)...

    P. Taeniatus males challenging each other

    yeah it's the same video. I changed the music on it today. :). I only had 7 in there while I was growing them out. When that video was made they hadn't paired off yet. I got them as 1/2" juvies.

    P. Taeniatus males challenging each other

    When I was OTR before I was up through Green Bay all the time. Had to go up to L'anse, MI a lot. In fact I'm pretty certain I've been through Appleton.

    P. Taeniatus males challenging each other

    In that video they were in a 29 gallon and there were 3 males and 4 females growing out in there. I lost a pair last week due to the camallanus worms I'm fighting, but I have one pair in a 40 gallon long, and the remaining pair in a 29 gallon. They seem to be responding to the medication, so I...

    P. Taeniatus males challenging each other

    Not sure if I've ever posted this vid, but this was back in early December when I had all my juvie taeniatus in the same tank together. The day after this I began to separate them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8O0LpTeIioM

    Help: Camallanus Worms?

    Thanks bud, I just noticed one of the surviving females is starting to pass a pretty good sized worm out. That's a good sign that they are dead anyhow, just have to get them out now.
