its a full cross river. im almost 100% sure.

ah yes, i meant mbunas, i have an african cichlid tank with the "cichlid chemistry" no salt.

sorry for any confusion.

if you want to order online go to http://www.sharkaquarium.com

thats actually the LFS that is by my house and he also ships everywhere. and gets his fish from EVERYWHERE.

worth a look eitherway.

to answer your question, 500 is fairly reasonable. at a good HEALTHY 6 inches. you arent looking at a bad price. please post pics on here so we can see if hes actually healthy. i have no doubt that you came across one however. but id hate to see you spend the money on an cross river when you are get...

by african i mean african cichlid


ahaha sry

should be okay in a few days?

lets discuss.


africans with gsps? story goes both ways. what are your experiences?


mbunas? afras? socolofis?


discussion begins....

okay so i recently changed the tank my hairy puffer has been in, into a much smaller one. 55 to 29. he definately has enough room, but he hasnt been eating for three days. and he grew a ripple under his chin. im sure this is normal cause of stress, but any suggestions/comments on it? p.s. water qual...

was it more like a "leader of the tank i eat before everyone" or she was just overeating? i had the same problem and i noticed my valentini didnt like certain foods the other fish did, so i fed them first, then the valentini, so the other small fish didnt need to worry about not getting an...

haha couldnt agree more. thats where the joke in the beginning came from about the "oscar feeding". you would think two twice his size would be fine, but no. anyway, yea so i tried the whole floating or dangling thing, and as a result my aro and peacock are now on frozen food...which is a ...

helped somewhat, i forgot about garlic.

i think some of you will admit they almost seem too smart to just dangle it in front of them.

so as a few of you may have read, i have been speaking recently about my hairy puffer. conviniently named...Cloverfield. (awesome movie. and fits him well) however... being a piscivore...he only eats live...and my little guy ONLY has eaten fish. i realize this may be a natural thing, however, he wil...

ive found they dont trake them very readily. and they tend to dirty up the tank like crazy, and if you want rocks and stuff, the uneaten ones will go all over and inside it. i had this problem recently with my hairy puffer and i had to do a few water changes in a few days.. wasnt fun. but if he goes...

that is so shady. but they should come with some sort of guarentee. at least to pay that sort of price. in my experience at least the privately owned pet stores are usually easier to work with that way rather than say a petco or petsmart, plus ive noticed their distributors are more exotic with thei...

my hairy puffer is named cloverfield...looks like the monster in the movie


well just his head when he eats..

pretty viscious
