Spiesie Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Buccal,Would you be able to use this(Kusuri) to combat malaysian trumpet snails as well? There is Red Cherry Shrimp in the tank as well, which I would like to keep if I canCheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjoconr Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 So its been over two month since I setup the tank and other than a little white shadow in the tank which I'm still trying to clear up everything is generally good.The Yellow Lab I put in at the 3 week point are growing well and one of the Hungi is really colouring up (been trying to get a photo but he is hard to catch) I'll try to get more photos over the next few days.

mjoconr Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 Another very short video, this one mostly my top dog Hongi colouring up I'm currently uploading a few other photos to my gallery which I'll list here soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjoconr Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 Can any one give an explanation for why my Cichlid's seem to mostly keep to one end of the tank and do not swim from end to end like I've seen ie on Youtube and at homes and businesses ? They have always done this so it can not be water parameters. Which by the way are very good.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link2Hell Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I'm guessing they stay left as that's were most of the structure is to hide inplus there seems more Mbuna (rock dwelling) fishis the right side a heavy traffic area in the house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjoconr Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 I'm guessing they stay left as that's were most of the structure is to hide in plus there seems more Mbuna (rock dwelling) fishAbout 26 Mbuna and 6 Peacocks is the right side a heavy traffic area in the houseYes the left end we walk past to go to the kitchen. The dominant Hongi does go to the other end to clear put a hole under a rock. The issue for me is that I've seen Mbuna tanks and there is a lot more movement all over the tank.

daimen84 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 It looks like they are hiding from that power head. There seems to be alot of water movement its not really necessary to have too much flow. I would get rid of that power head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjoconr Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 I only added the power head (its designed for a 100L tank) because I was getting build up crude on the bottom which adding the head has seemed to fix. They did this before adding the power headIf I had the cash I would look at those new gyre pumps.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daimen84 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Try turning it off for a while. See if there is a change. Just vac the crud up when you need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ged Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I would put it down to more structure at this end of the tank. I suggest that you try moving the Anubia on the rock down to the other end and see if that makes a difference. Feed them at the other end of the tank so they know that people walking past the tank is not a bad thing and their confidence will grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjoconr Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 I've been thinking I would like a Anubia plant in the tank but had not worked out where I wanted it. So maybe I'll get one and remove the largest rock on the rigt side of the tank and place a new Anubia there.I'll also try to break the large rock and see if I can create something with it in the same area.

mjoconr Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 So I updated my tank adding one extra plant and some more hiding places near that end of the tank and there spending more time at that end.What been very cool is that my Protomelas Taeniolatus (Red Empress) and Pseudotropheus Demasoni have breed and the females held long enough for them to surviveWhat was funny was that only 5 of the Demasoni fry ended up in the tank all the rest about 12 went over the weir and down into the sump. It was a lot of work to get them out, had to make up a suction box.I'll try to get photos and video soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simy696 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 glad u got em out I guess a fishing rod wouldn't of worked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjoconr Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 No not at about 4 to 8 mm long. Issue now is what to do with them. I have 12 in a 20L tank and there growing a very good clip.I see that a Demasoni and at least one Labidochromis Caeruleus are holding so the same problem is coming.

simy696 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 id buy some demasoni as I have a lonely one also need some red so guessing the red empress id be interested in also and don't think I have any caeruleus are they the rustys? also got some small guys hiding among the rocks not sure what they are yet and one of my 3 yellow electrics has been holding I think nearly 2weeks. And my lwanda has taken a liking to my yellow jakes gfs so not sure if that's a good thing or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
