I use plant holders like you have in 2 tanks. I noticed the other day one of my female white clouds, (I have golden white clouds)going in and out of the slats on the holder. Then a male. Fingers crossed I see eggs soon on the patho's roots that are inside the holder.

Well... Though i spend very little time on this particular tank I spend probably 7-10 hours per week "with my hands in a tank." But it's a labor of love for me. And honestly it should be for every hobbyist.

I have a 55 gallon planted tank with mostly melanotaeniidae rainbows (nowhere near as big as yours), some congo tetras, a bigger angelfish. I have a small tank with a blue zebra cichlid because I thought I got rid of all the african cichlids I had but a baby managed to stick around, I've had it in a tiny tank by himself until I could figure out what to do with him, none of the shops around me would take him, he's getting bigger, I've been avoiding putting him in the bigger tank because I thought he might attack other fish or destroy everything as he gets bigger, do you think this would be the case?
@LushSaltyAquariums 9 күн бұрын
@@otallono alas, you’ve found my blind spot. I do not have any personal experience with African cichlids. You could try putting a notice on FB marketplace forum or taking the animal to a big box pet store, where they generally take anything as a courtesy to customers. I do think your intuition to move him out is correct.

Hi Stefan, I'm in a dilemma. Forbmy new aquarium I'm really wanting green kubotai rasboras but I have hard water, ph 7.8. Do you think they'll show that amazing green color in my water parameters? I don't want to go down the road of manipulating the hardness/ph. I used to have glowlight danios and they were beautiful the day they arrived, but their colors washed out in 1 day and never rebounded. I ended up giving them to a friend. I'm thinking of about 18 kubotai's with 4 sunset honey guaramis and about 8 duplicate corys. Plus amano shrimp. Your thoughts on the color of the kubotai's in hard water? Thanks in advance
@LushSaltyAquariums 11 күн бұрын
Well, neutral is 7.0 so 7.8 not much higher. iI the fish are tank raised (and they probably are but you should ask) then I wouldn't worry. can you ask the seller his water perameters?
@FishRfun 11 күн бұрын
@LushSaltyAquariums yes I'd ask the seller for sure before buying. I've heard they don't travel well either. I guess if I can't be sure I could go with ember tetras or perhaps odessa barbs...just spit balling here. The kubotai's are my first choice though
