The colour in the rocks and gravel takes away the beauty of the fish .

yea i agree jon...i had my 55 gallon with all that color in it and i hated it...i just got a 75 and changed the whole look to a more natural look and gave all the colorful stuff to the fry

so how many tanks have you got now ?

i have two up and running which are the 75 and the 20 for the fry...i put away the 55 gallon for now until i get the money to fully set it up..thinking of making the 55 a Tanganyika tank

theres alot of tang fans on here lol

Any for sale?

Yes actually they are for sale to anyone in my area but other than that I don't really know much about shipping fish so I choose not to do it...one day ill get around to it

if yah ever want to let go of that 55 gl tankid be happy to take it off ur hands...(if i have the money..lol

Christian-any suggestions for fry keep? My jewels just laid eggs, so I should be having some soon. Just want to make sure they don't get sucked up in filter intake. I have them in a 30gl right now and have no where else to put them except a 10gl.

Well I havnt had any experience with fish who lay eggs because my africans are mouthbrooders but I guess I wud wait to see if they are fertilized which wud be wen u see the fry actually swimming then if you really want to keep all and care for them I wud seperate them....if you only want a few I wud leave them in the tank a see who survives or seperate a few and leave the rest to be eaten

when they actually start swimming, just net them up and put in my 10gl? What about the filter intakes? Thanks-and sorry for all the questions, fairly new to this.

nice looking fish .. jamie if you can put a bit of ladies pantyhose over the end that will stop them getting sucked up.. read that

ooops hadnt finishe read that in a book about the stocking havent tried it..i would leave them with their parents they will look after them and protect them till they get a bit bigger then take them out.. soon a syou take them out they willl lay more eggs..

sounds good-thanks.

I bought some sponges that basically cover the intake as well-but have to find a way to keep them securely on without sliding up/down the intake..rubberband maybe? lol

just watch that the band dsent rot as the fish peck at themm.. i have also seen little drawstring bags you put charcol in for filter ver fine mesh you could tie it around as well maybe..

Oh yea-didn't think of that one. I have one of those bags. Thanks.

Yup I agree with kylie!

your welcome glad to help..
