Who Gives A Fish Forums

I'd recommend Brazilian Pennywort. It grows fast, can be planted or floated, and looks great. Plus, it's easy to trim back if it gets too wild.

I'm after 15-20 Pseudotropheus Saulosi and having no luck finding them anywhere. I've tried Midland Malawi and Northants Malawis but no joy, can anyone point me in the right direction? Are there any breeders on here or know of any that might have some available? I'm willing to pay top dollar for ...

She's still smiling, and I'm pretty sure she's putting on a bit of weight now. The softer water fish are all doing well, no chasing or fighting to report, and the cherry shrimp are still intact - no casualties at the hands of the Mbuna.

I whipped up some antibiotic pellets using algae flakes ...

No replies, but plenty of views - I took that as a good sign. I've been gradually introducing the little acei to the new water, and finally released him into the tank yesterday afternoon. By evening, he'd settled in, and this morning he was eager to eat and say hello.

I'm definitely not a fan of using RO for my Mbuna setup, no way. I do use it for my Zorchzon community tank, but that's a different story altogether. My Mbuna tank is up and running now, and the guys seem to be loving it.

My tap water's GH is sitting between 16 and 18, which is perfect, and the KH ...

I've finally managed to send off a plea for help to Nurglespuss, fingers crossed someone with a chemistry background can shed some light on my water woes.

can water be too hard for Mbuna? i'm in a hard water area and my kettle's got a serious chalk build-up - is this water too harsh for them? i've got the salts to simulate their natural water composition but using tap water seems like a gamble, or should i just add a hint of trace elements to it ...

I keep reading that GH should be above 7 and KH above 10, but what's the deal when both are around 18?

I'm in a super hard water area - my kettle's basically a chalk factory. I'm worried this water might be too harsh for Mbuna.

I've got the salts and all to recreate the right water composition ...
