Nice Mando! Well I've finally found out I had a massive issue in my pond, we had seagulls always going there when none of us were in. Swimming around in the pond etc... So the netting is all over it now and it's working a treat!
Angels are awesome, but can be a handful
the males are sooo territorial once they are mature, females aint any bother, only way to tell is when they pair up and develop the male lumpy forehead and their attitude.
Ello boys!!
Yep, they are Cichlids at the end of the day... very aggressive when they want to be.
Well I have more cichlids than I know what to do with now... Have been putting the babies in the spare tank and when they grow to an inch or so, back into the main tank.
Got to the point where I have two very full tanks now.
Got a real algae problem in the small tank, due to lack of plants. I put a couple of tiny Siamese Algae eaters in there and they have cleaned it in a week... and tripled in size too.
did a 90% water change as testing the 180 found traces of up to 10ppm of ammonia (its now under 3ppm after the massive change)........lost all the corys (10@£35) but the cardinals and apistos are looking better today. My macmasteri apisto is looking better in the tank upstairs, so glad I didn't euthanize him when he looked on deaths door.hope it all goes well love the aspitos and glad you didn't get the Severums they will out grow your tanks
