Who Gives A Fish Forums

Anyone tried the magnetic frag mounts? I've been curious but worried they'll rust or mess with the tank's vibe.

Although not recommended, I've actually got a large Krib living with my Malawis. He's a bit of a special case, really - was causing chaos in my mum's tank, so I took him in. I'm aware of the water differences, but he's already adapted to hard water. The Johanni's keep him in check, and he's learned ...

Thanks for the advice, everyone. Temp is at 78F, no carbon in the filter. I'll try a 20% water change and halve the dose. They're still eating, just not as active.

I've been using Seachem Paraguard for a week now in my 20 gallon tank with Guppies and Neon Tetras. The fish seem a bit stressed, fins clamped. Should I cut the dose or keep going? Water params are good, 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 10 nitrate.

I've had a run-in with goldenly cichlids in my 110G tank, let's just say they can be quite aggressive, something to keep on your radar.

I appreciate the feedback, it means a lot. I was going for a darker vibe in the tank, it seems to be working well for my Frontosa, he's really thriving with the new caves.

Thanks for the kind words, sorathor - it's great to finally see my vision come to life in the tank.

He's indeed a beauty. Any thoughts on the tank? Improvements?

That's my boy. He's a real stunner. I'd love to find some more like him, they'd make a great addition to the tank.

I think you might be on to something there, mate. He does bear a resemblance to a rummynose tetra, but with that cichlid shape. The colours are pretty much inverted, too. Tek oot indeed, I'm loving the observation.

I did a quick search just now and the images I found don't quite match my guy - his red colouring actually extends to his fins, not just his body. I've always thought he might be a peacock of some sort, personally. Found an old pic of him from before he coloured up so beautifully.
