Almost impossible without thoroughly stripping down the tank, drying it out and all the media, substrate and decorations that are in the tank. I’ve tried to keep tanks clean of them. Only my fry tanks that have no substrate appear to be free of them. Clown loaches and other loaches will eat them and can really suppress the population but are unlikely to eradicate them. Loaches may also affect your breeding success of substrate spawners etc. I’ve given up at the moment and the populations have exploded. They shouldn’t affect the breeding success of substrate spawners, in my experience.

Malaysian trumpet snail.

Awesome Jason. Thanks for sharing those videos. Beautiful fish you have there.

Gnathochromis!!!! Wow

How are the guys going Matt? I’ve never kept them. But I have a similar situation with occies. They don’t step breed so if want the fry you have to remove them or remove the parents

Maybe users one here could think about updating their breeders register thread so we can see what’s still available.

That’s interesting. It’s good you’ve got friends in the right places. I understand that there are some people starting to import again. But I haven’t heard of them advertising to the public yet.

I didn’t think NT residents were allowed to keep cichlids for fear that anything released into the natural waterways could be devastating for native fish. Has that changed?

Has anyone had any quality/hybrid issues with some Melbourne breeders? I’ve heard mixed things with Malawi cichlids. The last thing we need with a dwindling gene pool, and species dropping out of the hobby is hybrids. Seems to be an issue with Malawi rather than tangs. I’ve only ever bought tangs from Max and have been more than satisfied with the fish I’ve received. Mods - feel free to delete or edit this general comment if it casts aspersions on a group of breeders that I cannot substantiate.

Some big geophagus would be nice.

There seems to be a few tanks and rack for sale online. You might have to be a bit flexible with sizes if possible.

If you’re not to use it for a while then give the tank and the fUlterior a good clean. Using fresh tap water is ok if you’re putting it in storage for a while. Also clean the ornament, gravel, sand, anything in there, basically

It’s probably a little worse! I tried a course of Myxazin. I might try the next waterlife product on the shelf. - Protozin. Any ideas?

8ft. Someone else suggested them too
