Amphilophus Nourissati - 100%

so far so good. i think i am noticing more and more gold-ish coloring on his gill plates and stomach now that he has settled in. still not getting the dark black on the tail, and hasnt eaten yet. i guess he was eating massivore before - no interest yet. he had been messing with my Ocell, but...

i meant its all the same in the sense that you are still going to go through the same spikes (given, maybe not as harsh).....even if the time it takes is drastically shortened. probly still not a situation you necessarily want to risk with an aro. especially since he may not have even hit the...

and by "do nothing at all" i mean, they dont do what they advertise. making it possilble to add fish right away with no spikes of a normal cycle. it will still cycle the tank, but the tank would cycle all the same without it.

i wouldnt trust that stuff 100% of the time though. ive seen plenty of those products do nothing at all sometimes. he may be using it to try to cycle. but he didnt use it, with other fish, before the Arowana went in from what it sounds like.

its a new setup, so you're going through a break in cycle. any ammonia at all can be harmful - which i why, idealy, you probly shouldn't have started the tank right away with an arowana.

"falring up and everything in the tank" - ignore that.......i have no idea where that came from or what it might have meant. haha

thats kinda what im thinking. every once in a while you can catch a hint of gold on his belly. so far he is behaving ok, falring up and everything in the tank, but all the current seems to keep him swimming instead of getting bored and beating on everything.......for now

bump.....nobody???? ive just never seen one of these come up from small to large. so i dont know what to look for in color between the species as they grow.

i think i got him through Rapps, but i dont remember for sure. i'll consider digging up some more pics.

to be honest.....im kinda lazy, so the whole taking pictures and putting them up is more than i feel like doing most of the time. haha. i think i put up pics of my african cichlid tank, and my big 18" Dat (in this tank) when i got him - thats been about it

recently acquired, he is about 12". was just told "dorado" from the guy i got him from - not sure when the gold should start coming in, if it is indeed S. Brasiliensis. the only other one i thought was maybe S. Hilarii, but i doubt it????

"Here's a pic of the gravel. Pretty much every black piece of sand in the pic is magnetic. " seriously though.....bring water by tomorrow or something, we'll check the PH at least.

if i can manage to get off work for the next round, im up to lending a hand for sure. you guys are awesome!!! that fish bowl is friggin sweet.

N. Polystigma looks more like a Linvingstoni than anything. just a bit different body shape and color variation. actually closer to a N. Linni than anything truthfully, but i dont ever see those available down here.

probly wasn't the fish to buy without knowing anything about it. but good luck with it!!!!!! they are amazing fish. whenever i added new ones to my group i would put in a divider to keep them separated, so they can adjust and calm down on their own terms, and find food easier without having...

no prob.

+1 hayward. the guy seems like he's more than willing to take in any suggestions. he says he's feeding his fish. if he's lying, that's his deal. but as far as we know, its being fed. so maybe some suggestions. im no Cichla expert, so i don't want to mislead the poor guy. ive seen fish fed...

sohal is gonna be crazy aggressive when he gets bigger (suaully). but if its an aggressive tank, i guess that wont matter. im partial to Sohal's, awesome fish. had one in a display at the store........no other tangs for sure, he'll beat the piss out of them. but he was in with an emperator...
