Got a 10g to play with.

Jpap, I found that set of links very interesting. They show quite a diversity of cichlics and the part about how a simple sandhead washing up across a sone bed can separate a group of one species for generations and cause them to no longer recognize each other as the same species years later if and when is washes away rejoining the area was mind boggling. I see now why being so "anal" about this setup can be something a person would want to do for good reason. :)
 
LOL! It's ok, nerds are cool now. We can stop hiding it!:lol:
 
hey pappy i want to thank you i have been wanting to see the full length video for some time and i didnt know it was on youtube cool now i need to find the DVD and i will be in nerd heaven hehehe fish geeks rule..

Ya, I think the guides "protect" you by telling you to get down and shut up. If that fails, they run and leave you behind I've heard, LOL!

So I'm off to the LFS today. I've decided to get some aragonite for buffering. I considered the peppered eco-complete cichlid substrate, but when I think of it, most of lake TK is white sand. I've seen shots of peppered too, but for all my research and photos, never seen pure black sand. I figured it would be easier to pepper the sand or cover it in rock rather than trying to introduce a new substrate later if I've messed up. After this and a heavy cleaning of the 10g, it's back to the documentary n' crap.

Also of note, is that I was talking to my father last night on skype. He did a little research of his own for me, and found this link:
http://www.fao.org/fi/oldsite/ltr/PUB2.HTM

I haven't looked at it outside of scanning a couple journals, but there's a huge pile of info in them. Most of the papers seem to be 100+ pages long. The focus is more from sustainable fisheries than anything, but there's an ecological concern to the thing. I'm hoping it'll turn up some good stuff.
