            I wouldn't do puppy chow for the moops.....the other alternative I brought up at the get together would be much better.

                  under the covered porch with fan on during the day stays a perfect 80 degrees. but we have had some cooler nights. temp went down to 75,so i put in 5 heaters. set for 80 degrees. well pond got up to 83 so i'm adjusting them down.i would rather do this in the spring, with winter coming on i'm a little nervous but i've been keeping these cichlids outside for 6 yrs now so i'm going for it. also now i can get the moops out of the 210 and have a trew only tank. that should help them. ek- i don't remember that conversation about the alternative food?

                            Did you find someone to take the fish to the auction for you? If not, let me know and I'll get someone to deliver them for you.

                            Keep us updated on the tropheus pond project. I was planning on doing something similar in the spring. Since I haven't been keepig cichlids outside, I'll probably start with some "tester" cichlids. I'm thinking brichardi right now... :wink:

                              I have been keeping Cichlids outside for a few years now and they do great, especially in the sunlight. Their colors are just stunning , but u gotta gotta gotta bring them in before winter sets in, or keep alot of heaters available.

                              Also, if they are outside, make sure us spend some money on a UV sterilizer to keep the algea at bay or you will have lots of green water and will be unable to watch your Ts
