I'm in Houston and looking for Mpimbwe frontosa to start a colony. I need anywhere from 10-15 depending on the size. I would prefer a local breeder or someone wanting to sell their colony but I might be wiling to buy from someone who could ship to me.

Update. The sand just arrived and its the proper ratio of colors and size of grains. I'm very happy.

I'm converting my 240g into an all male hap/peacock show tank. I have always kept CA/SA cichlids and oddballs but got the African cichlid bug. I've done a lot of research but cant find a good answer to some questions. I want all males but I wont have a smaller grow out tank. Any fish I get...

I recently lost my 11yo dovii and am in the process of converting my 240 long into a Hap/Peacock tank. After some looking around, I settled on Caribsea black/white cichlid sand. I ordered 6 bags of Eco-Complete Cichlid sand from Petco online bc I cant find it locally. What I got was...

I love it. Wish I could have one!

Thanks. I used 1 inch drain lines and 3/4 returns. The biggest issue I had with the sump setup was constant clogging of my mechanical filtration. I solved it by completely forgoing mechanical in the sump but using an FX4 canister. It has mostly filter pads with one tray of ceramic rings...

The water is in constant circulation and the surface in the K1 chamber has constant movement. Oxygenation occurs most by way of surface disturbance. Adding a small air pump wont provide much more oxygenation, especially if the water is already saturated (or close to it). I believe the...

The its a peninsula overflow. The water flows over a weir and drops about 2 inches then is taken into the sump by a bean animal style overflow.

We still have power. Tons of rain all night. No bad winds. But wife wife's parents live in Sienna Plantation. There was a tornado there last night that damaged houses and a school. Their house is fine but it was close enough for them to hear it during the night. I hope it didn't hurt anyone.

Looks like a big one is headed our way. I am in Houston and we are about to get hit hard. I hope everyone along the coast is prepared and stays safe. We have food, water and booze. My house has not flooded in the last few flood events but I am most worried about a prolonged power outage.

Update, it seems that evaporation in the sump has slowed considerably. The "boiling" caused by the commercial air pump lead to a rapid drop in water level in the sump. The other issue I'm having is fine detritus powder is coating the bottom of the tank. A wavemaker was delivered yesterday. I'm...

Young silvers display that pinkish hue. It will fade over time as the fish grows.

Nice aro. Looks like they had a good looking temensis with him in the store.

My last silver grew out with 2 peacock bass (temensis and ocellaris), flowerhorn and a tsn catfish. I later added a good sized midas. Everybody got along well until I adopted a 12 inch pacu which got the arowana really spooky until he jumped one day. But for that pacu, things were always copacetic.

Yup. Silver.

I can't guarantee it's going to be successful. But the water is in constant circulation and virtually silent. Plenty of surface disturbance for oxygen exchange It seems. Hopefully it works as well an air pump.

Not sure how to upload a video. MFK is telling me a 4 second video is too large.

I was using the pvc first chamber to hold filter socks or poly pad but they clogged in 2 days. Just got an fx4 for mechanical. Now I'm thinking the first chamber can be a setting chamber for any detritus that's goes over the overflow. Then into the k1 chamber and finally to the returns and heaters.
