P. roloffii fry
Dear T. Judy- I will be setting up a 55 gallon tank as soon as my new house
in Tucson closes (c. 5/15/05) and would be interested in these fry. I have been particularly sucessful with "westies." and find them very beautiful and interesting.
How might they do sharing the...
It's been more than three months since you heard from me. On 2/2/ I was rushed to the hospital with double pneumonia and informed I had 72 hours to live!
Kaiser sent an air ambulance to rush me to Richmond, CA and my five aquaria
were abandoned. My brother arranged for my canaries and...
Finally succeeding with rams!
I bought and lost 30+ German Blue Rams which I tried in my 30 and 150 gallon communities. They simply could not deal with the other cichlids and starved quickly.
Recently I set up a 20 gallon quarantine tank:
3 Odessa barbs
3 male 'Schuberti' barbs
1 pair gold...
RE: Angels and cacatuoides
I don't keep angels but I have several pairs and trios of A. cacatuoides in a 40 gallon
community tank with Pelvicachromis spp. and perhaps a dozen in my 150 community
where they get along with Etroplus maculatus, Anomalochromis thomasi, kribensis,
a group of six...
My friend Jordan Reece was #37 in the planted aquarium competition this year, one of only two Americans. He mostly keeps schools of small tetras keeps many kinds of shrimps-Amano, cherry, candy cane, and red. I bought two Amanos-does anyone know their scientific name? I need shrimps that are...
This is probably my fault. I am barely computer literate after 15 years on
these dreadful things. I have been trying for a week to reach PRICE LIST
from Neil's home page. I get some spammer's list of 100's of generic
items I might wish to purchase-balderdash!
Would one of you kind souls...
I am posting this in the lounge hoping someone can help me locate:
2 pair Etroplus maculatus-xanthistic form
1 male E. maculatus-normal colouration
3+female Apisto. hongsloi-hopefully from a line not carrying an orange gene
1 male A. juruensis
1 pr or trio A. macmasteri
6 A. borelli - as...
I noted that all my fish were itchy in all three tanks yesterday. Assuming
an overload of bacteria low down I treated all tanks with Melofix which I have found miraculous.
Tonight I noticed that one of my 2 cardinal tetras has ick on it's dorsal. I've had phenomenal luck with Ick Guard but...
RE: Mike W. and his A. hongloi and a new morph to me!
Hi, All- I too am delighted that Mike W. is back and posted his beautiful male A. hongsloi today. First a comment. In the photo much of what is vivid red-red on my male is quite orange to red-orange on his. I bought mine last week as he...
Fish from Europe. Attn: Rama
I missed what fish you were looking for but Tony Orso gets all his aquarium bred fishes from a Mr. Ullmann in Prague. He has a tremendous
reputation among my fishy friends in Austria and Germany and I believe
he retails as well as wholesales. I'd contact Tony...
Dwarf cichlids as companions.
The only silly question is the one not asked. Apisto. cacatuoides is fairly
shy and deliberate in its movements. The Pelvicacheromis I assume you
mean is pulcher and they are much larger and stronger fish-tremendous
appetites. I have had a miserable time...
I'm afraid I agree with you about the Angel Fish undermining
breeding in a community tank. I have a single discus but he only relishes
live black worms and is beginning to eat small cichlid pellets. What I find
remarkable is hopw well everyone is getting along. The on.ly really aggresssive...
Dear All-
As promised I am supplying a complete census of the fishes in my 150 and 29 communities in which cichlids are breeding and raising fry:
The 150
3-Hyphessobrycon bentosi 'Rosaceus' 1m 2f
4-Botia sidthimunki
5-Corydoras panda
1-pair Apisto. panduro
7-Hemigrammus bleheri...
site and am wondering how other members feel about it.
HERE IS MY WANTED FISHES list (alive or aliver!)
1 female Colisa lalia - the normal fish
4-6 Mikrogeophagus altispinosus-females
***The xanthistic (yellow) form of Etroplus maculatus-6 sub adults or a
probven pair.
1 male Lake Victoria...
Randall, I'd be glad to work with you on a Westie project.
Out of my first group of P. pulcher I sold all but four. The four I retained
have both ocellated dorsals and caudals-something I plan to breed for. I hve one species of Nanachromis about to spawn and P. taeniatus, likewise...
Dear All- I have four tanks now and had a ghastly experience with UPS on the first fish I've ever had shipped-they finally arrived 48 hours late with the water in their bags in the 60's. Two maroniis were dead on arrival and several more fishes died during the next 30 hours. The third day...
I will, later today write a census of my two communities* but suffice it to say that my 150 must have close to 100 fishes not counting fry. I returned to the hobby by chance after a 40 yr. break, initially terrified. I started w. a 29 gal set-up from Wal Mart-a pair of P. pulcher, 8 Blue Rams...

I hoped by trying die Zwergbuntbarsche I'd be avoiding major tank rearrangement (ha) and aggression. I've had 4 Bolivian rams, M. atipinosus for 5 mos. One is now eeeemormous-3.2 inches to peduncle and fat-I suspect a female. The smallest who has stayed flat to convex bellied is the worst...
