strigatus seems closer, but stilll has a little more head it seems like. it might have been something that starts with p, so i'm checking those now. :)

i don't think this is it. Dimidiochromis compressiceps the head on the pictures i'm pulling is alot more elongated than this fish. the colors kinda go all over the place, and could or could not be right. the stubby head on this fish vs the elongated head on the pix i'm finding kind of...

lets see........ these might be big, but i was pusposely not shrinking them for detail....

a friend of mine asked me to id this fish, i think the male died and they wanted to replace it. don't mind the cloudy eye, these pictures are older and that problem is resolved. any input appreciated, i'm kinda lost on this one. :)

Lol! :D

viera the one north of melbourne. :D i was down there visiting late july/early august and i got to drive back north thru that one. this years been nuts for hurricanes, but i guess it was due. someone told me melbourne hasn't been hit for like 10 years til this year. i've done a decent...

i'm going to be moving soon and instead of trying to ship these things 1200 miles i figured i'd see if anyone local could use them. they are all within 2 years old and i have various things for them we might also be able to negotiate on. (oops, the 55g i bought used, unsure of age.) 90g...

LOL! :D trust corax to put it in perspective. :p at least 10 years and only a couple. one guy is really great and we occasionally talk on the phone. another guy lives kind of local and sort of faded away even tho we had some really great talks at the coffee shop a few nights and...

my friend in palm bay lost shingles from the beach side of his apt complex even tho the ocean was like a mile away. he said the place was condemned due to water damage, the mold sprouted up really quick it sounded like. he weathered the storm with a friend in melbourne who had very little or no...

peat will lower it. either granules like fluval seel, very potent. or regular stuff, or even buy home depot stuff, but check for chemicals like pesticides. but besides that. what is you ph that it needs to be lowered? fiddling with your ph alot is almost a surefire way to kill fish. a 1.0...

i used to use a garden hose with no problems, but i used the hose exclusively for my tank and it was basically new. i also flushed it every time i used it, let the water run for a bit while you adjust the temperature, etc...... the only problem i could see there is way down the road when the...

to put it bluntly, they suck! i have a tetratech 500 i mistakenly bought thinking it was the newest greatest thing. it has been a temperamental nightmare as far as adjustments go and that was just the beginning. do yourself a favor and buy an emperor..... www.bigalsonline.com it's the...

a waterchange is almost NEVER a bad thing. you might find a one off situation where the parameters have slipped or the tapwater is wildly different from what's in the tank. your fish come from an environment where there is either a huge volume of water or massive turnover rates constantly...

this works good, my friend used to do it. you must have fairly weak filtration? i have several of these things and never had a problem..... :confused: the biggest problem i did have was trying to evict my raphaels when i wanted to take them out. :D maybe a small powerhead to add a bit more...

daily waterchanges are fine. the only consideration would be how close your tap water parameters are to your tank water. if you've been doing water changes regularly, this won't be a problem. do as much as you want or need to. you don't have a UGF on this tank by chance?

with angels, i have always read that you need the right ratio. either 1 or 3 or more, having a pair unless they are "a pair" is the wrong thing to do. they are pretty aggressive with others of their kind, so you need to spread that aggression. having 3 or more ensures that (hopefully) no one...

nahacky (sp?) in melbourne..............? it's not *that* far off. :p

just acclimate the fish?! it's not exactly a huge difference between you driving an hour or two away and buying fish. in that case you have the same kind of problems. you buy the fish, they stuff them in a bag, then you get them home after possibly being all sloshed around........... the ph...

that's what i thought :confused:

any chance of a pic? sort of agree with the "snails eggs" theory. especially if they're in like a clear, slimy jelly. most of the fish eggs i have encountered are more of an "individual" thing, seperates but close together.
