Advice on some Trophs

[eklikewhoa]

Or let them duke it out and sub-dominant fall into the group of females.

My lufubies are coming out to play :)

but it seems like 1-2 males are left without a cave....I'm thinking if I should add more rock piles...I have much more petrified wood.

If those are really goldfish, I would clean the tank up before I move trophs there. Goldfish are filthy

[rmalford]

I will take the goldfish for free if no one wants him.

I guess I misunderstood your intentions. My apologies.

I said I was willing to sacrifice my 125g 6fter tank for my goldfish to stay alive and buy a new tank for my newly acquired Tropheus....

I have WC and F1 and don't use any buffers in the water. Have PFS substrate and a variety of rocks in my tanks. PH out of the tap is 7.6 - 7.8 and I have plenty of breeding going on.

[mnemenoi]

I use Aragonite sand for my substrate, lace rock and I use a tanganyika buffer occasionally. To be honest I have the fish breeding in the water as it is and think the buffer might be better suited to WC fish rather then the tank bred ones I have.

[aggrofishkeeper]

Just out of curiousity....do ya'll use ph buffers on your Tanganyika tanks? I'm testing 7.8-8 on my tap in the city of Houston. Seems a little low.

BTW I think I'm moving my lufubus into my 125g and my goldfish into my breeder in about a month. I'll also need to pick up a eheim 2262 and some more MH lights. :|

I forgot how expensive this hobby is.

[eklikewhoa]

Three days without eating... I'm sure they will be.

[aggrofishkeeper]

added a half dose of epsom salt for a preventative and digestive cleaner.

I want these guys to be HUNGRY by saturday!.

Off topic, but nonetheless. I've seen more than one "down the drain" reference here this week. Am I the only one who has an issue with that? So you can't get rid of the goldfish fast enough to suit your needs, thus they should die a painful death? The reference earlier this week had to do with the fact that two incompatible species were being kept together, and the owner outright admitted it.

Where's the sense of responsibility here? Sad, in my opinion. Dumping fish is not "baller".

Getting back into the game and want to start off slow.

I am wondering is it possible to house 10-12 preadult to adult Ilangi/Muragos in a 3ft 40g breeder for temporary. I say 2 months tops until I pick up a 90g 4ft. Possible?

If not I can always throw them in my 125g 6ft'er.

Reason I don't want to initially put them in my 125g because I'm in the process of moving out some Goldfish need to find them a home.

yep... looks like there was no intention of flushing anything or any sort of impression that "ballers" flush goldfish.

I don't see where the OP stated that it was baller of him to not want to be cruel.

I hope the fishes don't piss me off and make me go buy a brand new tank right away...cause I'm eyeballing craigslist waiting for a deal.

ugh oh...


Anyone want some free punk *** gold fish? lol

I don't want to be cruel and flush them down the drain.


I also have a single large male 5''??? Trophs. I forgot what the name was that I got from Mike awhile back. The colony that killed itself off. Looks like a Moop. Help me out here Thai...lol

Anyways will he be alright with the new fish? Or will they breed or something?
