Got all my plants in and neon tetras back into the tank. Still need one val and one more amazon sword to fill up the empty spaces.
Really getting bored of neon tetras, anyone want to buy my 10 for $10? want some more rare and exotic tetras.
ember tetra?
i love them when i used to keep planted tank...
the simple colour gives a really nice contrast with the plants
also they are even smaller than neon so if you have a small tank they are great.

Spoiler!
I could, but I'm a bigger fan of galaxy rasboras, but it doesn't help that they cost so much

I think it was $6 each or 6 for $30.
Fantasy Aquatics is my main fish and plant source. Kerry and Mike are both very knowledgeable and friendly people

Only thing I suggest is buying from a source that's had them in an established tank for awhile. I usually just fed mine wafers.
I'll give the wafers a try.

Pretty to get a sense of aquascaping and DIY. Essentially it's tall plants in the rear, various crypts and other things in the middle, and foreground carpet. That's the ideal setup, though there's not really a distinct set-in-stone setup that people must comply to. Check out ADA tanks.

Cichlids are a nightmare for aquascaping with plants. Cichlids usually dig and destroy plants. Recommend a less aggressive nature if you wanna do aqauscape.

That or you can try an iwagumi style setup?
Agreed. Cichlids + plants = not a good idea.
I've had a few Cichlid tanks over the years, and anytime I've tried plants, they always end up either ripped up, or dug up.
dhawes, your tank is off to a good start, however I would add a fair bit more gravel/sand. Cichlids love to dig, and I always loved it when they did. They sort of aquascape the tank for you lol. Plus, it's fun to watch. Perhaps add some ironwood/spider-wood to the tank, to help fill the mid-to-top section of the tank.
Yeah I've heard cichlid tank = no plants. But part of me is determined to try and make it work. That's a good point regarding the sand. In my old tank I had way more sand that was "aquascaped" by my blue zebra. Everyday I would come home to a new mountain of sand somewhere haha. I will do that today.
Do you have any recommendations where to get that wood?
I'm also concerned about my 2 jewels. Had them for a week now and they haven't eaten / shown interest until yesterday when I bought/tried bloodworms as an alternative from flakes.
Problem with bloodworms is all the other cichlids are so greedy, it's hard to sprinkle them to get the jewels fed without fearing overfeeding everyone else.
Cichlid fighting is awesome But when they mate Got 3 generations of white cichlids with red eyes, inbreeding yo.

Hmmm. Trying to remember the last place I bought that wood. Most fish stores should have a decent selection. Keep in mind some places sell the wood by weight, so if you don't see a price, ask them how much it will be.
Good call on adding more sand
I always had a variety of food for my cichlids. If I fed them flake food, I would always throw in some sinking tablets of some kind. Gives the non-pigs a chance to eat, while the hogs are at the trough
My standby was -and still is- tubifex worms (namely the freeze dried ones). Fish go apeshit for them, especially cichlids. One thing I usually do, instead of sticking peices to the side of the glass, I would hold a peice in my fingers (sometimes the fish would eat from my fingers, which was cool) until it dissolved more or less. This keeps one fish from swimming away with one big chunk. Instead it's more of a free-for-all lol.
For wood, I would say your best bet would usually be kingeds pet or island pet unlimited. It really depends on what style of wood you are looking for. If you want manzanita wood, it will usually go for $20-$40 a piece.
Hmm I'll have to look into those sinking tablets. Right now I'm having to sprinkle the majority of the food at the opposite side of the jewels then try to hand feed the timid thing a few worms.
Yeah my fish are pretty "tame" from me sticking my hands in the tank all the time lol. If they're not following my hands for food, they're biting it.
I've been to island pets & all the chain pet stores, will have to check out Kingeds. I really like spoon_fed's suggestion of spiderwood. Something long & skinny. Only seen big chunks of wood so far. Manzanita looks good too.
I have a female pink convict for free. If anyone wants pickup in Richmond. Taking take in a new direction so she's gotta go. Around 3/4 inches in size, tails a bit chewed but healthy.
^ this, king ed's is great, hard to beat prices on livestock too. customer service isn't the greatest though
I find their livestock quality not in the healthiest conditions.
Often better to pay more for a healthy fish, than pay the cheapest and buy like 10 and have more than half die off.
If I'm getting more expensive types of fish that are sensitive (ie. Clown Loaches) I usually go to Rogers Pets in Surrey because they REALLY take care of all their tanks.
I remember I bought some loaches from a "cheaper" store, and they all died within a week.
I got some from Rogers and not an issue, they lived a long time and grew big.
Same happened when I bought Galaxy Rasbora's.
All in all, buying cheapest never good. Should always ask how long the fish have been in the tank for. Lots of stores sell their new stock right when it arrives without proper acclimation and/or quarantine.
^ You can't have 2 together unless in seperated tanks or a divider in the middle. You can buy them from King Eds or Island pets, but if you want a nice one get it imported. Heres a pic of my brother's _MG_1890 by BlurryRN, on Flickr
noob here. so i had a betta for a few months and he got sick (fin rot, lethargic) and died recently. do i need to dump all the water out and fill with new again before starting over? i'm thinking of just getting a couple ghost shrimp in there since it's only a 3 gallon and i'm not sure why things went south (all in the span of a few days) he was happy the rest of the time.

I would just in case it was something in the water that caused it. Maybe he wasn't getting enough air or something? Betta are notoriously finicky about how their water/tanks are kept apparently.
