If the temperature does drop in the tank be on the lookout for ick when the temperature returns to normal. Do some checking on how to treat it on these boards. There are a lot of snake oil cures out there so check with the group members first.

EMERGENCY MEASURES:
Have a large, heavy comforter on hand that you are able to cover the entire tank with to conserve heat. You do the same thing to stay warm when you go to bed.
If you have a way to heat water, then be sure you have water and plastic bottles on hand. (You aren't going...
Um.....I'm slightly confused about what you are saying.... The nitrITE and nitrATE thing..... a lot of people confuse.
Here's the process....
ammonia is broken down into nitrites
nitrites are broken down into nitrates
nitrates are relatively beneign...
Hi Minders,
I see you found the forum :)
As I mentioned, I don't know much about the rams. However, as for the Ph question, it's a good one.
What you might do is find out the Ph of the water where you intend to get the rams from BEFORE you get the fish. That way, if there is a...
The only time to "preventative treat" would be when internal parasites are suspected or likely as in wild caught fish or a fish has been exposed to a disease (another sick fish). The later treatment may even be questionable at times.
Treating preventatively for bacterial infections will...
There does seem to be quite a few of us from here on this forum. Seems kinda unusual as the east coast or so-cal usually has the monopoly. Aspen, are you from here also? Your profile says Toronto, Canada.
I'm over on the east side. "Omak". I might be interested. I have a 10 gal. that is...
OH BOY DO I HAVE IDEAS!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Iranocichla hormuzensis
Paretroplus damii
PM me if you think you can get either. Supposedly there is someone in Germany that has Iranocichla hormuzensis. I'll try to get a name and a way to contact them.
Sam,
By now you should have been accepted to the madfish group. If not, PM me as I am a member of the group. I will try to see what the holdup is.
Another thing for you to think about. With the size of tank that you have, 125 gallons, you might consider 4-6 of another of the Madagascar...
Sam,
Pleased to meet you. According to Sonia and others at the "Madfish" forum, the mad cichlids are best kept in groups of six. Your tank size (125 gal) is good. I would recomend that you visit this board as well as the Cichlid Conservation board and forums at fishpost.com. Madfish has...
Thanks! The article helped a lot! Figured there was more to it than just size, and that, as the article says, is a fuzzy issue at best it seems.
Thank you for the complement on the endevors! Please feel free to PM me and/or join the Cichlid Conservation forum.
I should have looked on the home page first. It's there! :D However, havent found anyone with any, yet.:( Although, I did find someone who might be planning a collection trip! The trip is on hold until after the US and UK kick some Iraq butt!
I'll keep you in mind if I aquire any and if...
I must say Ted, I like your analysis of captive raised vs. wild raised.
It seems that many hobbyists think that selective breeding in captivity, for color or to produce hybrids, is perfectly acceptable. Others think vthat such actions are deplorable and species should not be hybridized or...
First I guess I'll say hi. I'm new to the group but am not new to cichlids and "promoting" them. I will be honest in that as of this point I don't really know the definition of "dwarf" other than it refers to a smaller cichlid. Are there size limits as to what defines a dwarf cichlid? I know...
