Do you do anything with your plants/quarentine etc. before putting them in the tank?
lol @ "the plant pusher"

I do. I bleached the water lettuce when i got it. 1 part bleach to 19 parts water then soaked in safe/water. Also qt'd them for a few days.

Pick up some tetra safe start. Works really good. Do you use a dechlorinator after wc's ? If so you have to wait 24 hrs (i think maybe 48) after using it to does the safestart. Shake the bottle like crazy then add it.



Did you fill the tank up half way and let it sit then finish filling later ? May be just a water line try rubbing it off

Didn't think of that. I did fill it half way and I left it for a day like that until I got my canister installed. I'll try that.

My ornates agent said that they didn't want any photographs taken so they're too busy for me.

I'm liking the cichlids, the only west African cichlids big enough for my plans are Jewels and those things are maniacs. I'm worried kribs will get eaten lol

Are kribs smaller than jewels? I've seen some pretty big ones. If you stick with upper jaws I'd think they'd be fine.... ? Maybe I'm wrong.

I didn't realize you were localizing to West Africa. I would assume that only some bichirs live in that part of Africa too?
