excuses excuses
its only really a ten second job really I guess (never done it myself though, so don't my word for it). seen as it is quite obvious to determine female from male. again, you have to be observant, especially on smaller cichlids
okay, now im confused, so i have babies like quarter size or smaller bodies, with like 3" fins.
so would this still work
and yeah, i agree with rb, if its easily visible, why would u need to take it out? really confused here. idk. i guess i will try taking it out to check on the smaller baby angels, except they are super scared, and stress easily, and jump around everywhere.
thanks man
it will actually be looking great once i solve the filter problem and the co2 gets here
thx!

Finally, I solved the filter problem, guess what, it was that the micron filter pad was too soft, and flexi, so it bent and shifted around in its personal media box, so that only 1/2 the water actually made contact with it........LOL
I fixed it, I put one of those cheap plastic frames that u use with cartridges in HOBs, and walla, stiff as a board, and wow, the water is crystal clear I also planted the java ferns(I'll tie those to the DW later on), and planted the blyxa. Looking good for now, pics maybe in a week or so as I am going to oregon for 5 days starting tomorrow

Another thing you could do is stuff loose polyester fiber floss, like this:

Into the basket. I usually do ceramic media with a topping of this stuff in the media basket...and there are many many handfuls in just one cheap $3 bag!

I was thinking about that nicole BUT, the flow rate has already decreased quite a bit from my own extra bio-media and new cartridges, I will try the polyester idea once the new penguin 350 bio-wheel gets here
