    Tank Footprint

    Well, maybe I'll stick with those in my show tank and keep a spawning pair in my 29 gallon alone then. I've got three pairs to work with currently.

    Spawning P. Taeniatus

    The male undertook a huge sand excavating project tonight underneath one of the pieces of driftwood while the female stayed close by watching. Hoping that is a good indication they're looking for a place to spawn. I sat and watched him spitting sand out for about 20 minutes. (Until the kids...

    WTB: Book, Cichlid Fishes of Western Africa

    Thanks I got it and emailed him. Will see what happens. If he doesn't have it I think I will order from Steven Simpson in the UK, seems like the best deal I've found.

    Tank Footprint

    You don't think the congos would be ok dithers? This is really going to end up being more of a show tank, though I wouldn't mind getting fry out of it.

    WTB: Book, Cichlid Fishes of Western Africa

    WTB: Book, Cichlid Fishes of Western Africa

    Thanks for the link, I checked it out, same guy as StevenSimpsonBooks.com for basically the same price, I did the math on the site, looks like it would be close to $50.00 bucks with shipping. Still better than ordering amazon though.

    What bulb combo is best for planted tank?

    Sounds like plenty of light, and the flourish combo you should be doing well. I have two 29 gallons that are lit with t5 dual 18w bulbs and I dose with flourish as well and my plants grow like crazy. Don't know if there is much more you can do aside going the co2 route, but you'd have to ask...

    Packers

    Yeah, nothing like an interception to turn the game result the other way. :) My wife is a fanatical Packers fan and I've been conscripted into fandom. Had they lost yesterday, I would have been told it was because I didn't wear my Packers shirt.

    Well, I've gotta wear my Packers colors for a few weeks so I've updated my avatar and signature. :) Any Green Bay fans here?

    Tank Footprint

    Going to purchase a 40 Gallon Long from a friend soon. Footprint is 48 inches by 12 inches, and I believe 16 inches tall. Would it be feasible to keep 2 pairs of my P. Taeniatus in that size of a tank? I would plant heavily and lots of bogwood. After consolidating tanks, the...

    WTB: Book, Cichlid Fishes of Western Africa

    Looking for the book: The Cichlid Fishes of Western Africa, by Anton Lamboj. Anyone know who has the best price on this? I am in Indiana, United States, 46805.

    Quick question about breeding, or a lack of it.

    I kept 8 Cory cats with my kribs they never bothered the eggs, but they decimated my krib fry there were too many for the female to fight off, but could be because she ran the male off, so didn't have much help. Something to think about anyway.

    Kribensis Rumble

    Yes, only the younger two get territorial. They are temporarily housed in a 29 gallon until I can find someone to take the male on the left.

    Anyone purchased from The Wet Spot Tropical Fish?

    Never purchased from there but the information I read on their main page sounds like an LFS I'd like to have here.

    Spawning P. Taeniatus

    Ted, Ok, I did a little moving, added some extra hiding spaces and driftwood and put the extra female in my spawning tank. They haven't harrassed her too much, though the paired female really colored up pretty bright almost immediately on seeing the other female. The male just kind of lunged...
