Posted by splinteredmind on 24 August 2014 - 07:46 PM in Cichlid Discussion
Thanks for the input guys - I'm pretty disappointed with this, especially given the LFS I purchased them from (who also happens to be a sponsor of this site). I guess I'll try and vent the fish, and rehome them if they are truely female.

#325549 Colour Changes In My Haps/peacocks
Posted by splinteredmind on 24 August 2014 - 12:45 PM in Cichlid Discussion
Hey guys,
A bit confused over the colouration of 2 of my peacocks/haps at the moment. Basically I bought a Copadichromis borleyi (Red Fin Kadango) and Protomelas taeniolatus (Red Empress) from a LFS believing they were both male, by my judgement based on the colouration they were showing at the time (about a month ago). Both fish were being kept in tanks of their own species at the store.
Over the last month I've noticed that they've both undergone some colour changes... the fins on the Copadichromis borleyi turning from the white blaze and grey to solid orange, and the Protomelas taeniolatus bascially colouring down to nothing.
Both fish are roughly ~8-10cm long and are housed with 6 other same or smaller male peacocks/haps, which haven't changed colour. I cant see any signs of major aggression between any of the fish currently (which I know can cause peacocks/haps to lose colour).
All pictures were taken under the same light with an iPhone 5. All fish are fed exclusively new life spectrum cichlid formula and thera a, with some spirulina flakes.
So what do you guys think about this?

$2million for a comic? what a joke. That's pathetic lol
Having collected comic books for a little bit, that one is basically the holy grail of comics... especially in the condition its in, market value is actually just shy of $3million...

If you pick some up, can you take a picture of the ingredient list? Fish (and pet nutrition) is a bit of a hobby for me, I'd be keen to see what they are using.

An ingredient list would be nice
#325348 Is This Safe?
Posted by splinteredmind on 21 August 2014 - 02:55 PM in Fish Health, Nutrition, Diseases & Pests
From http://www.cichlid-f...rock_metals.php
Iron, the commonest of all metals, is normally present in nature in the form if iron oxide, i.e. rust. It follows that if you have rocks containing iron, betrayed by rusty streaks and patches, it will not normally present a chemical problem for your fish since the rust, iron oxide, is inert, However, if there is enough rusty material it will discolor your water, so rocks that are heavily 'rusted' should not be used. A few patches or spots of rust here and there on rocks is not a problem.

Best of luck finding an ingredient list, I've been chasing New Era about this for the last 6 months... Not had any luck so far.
here is some info I've found which may help you http://www.monsterfi...l=1#post6301376
Also an ingredient list on one of their products before they removed it from their packaging: (note the high moisture content and also cornstarch as the second ingredient)

#324512 The Fish Cannon
Posted by splinteredmind on 13 August 2014 - 06:47 PM in Off The Wall
Saw this on Reefbuilders the other day, thought I'd share
One company is using fish cannons to safely get migrating fish through man-made obstacles. Salmon are curious creatures going from the saltwater ocean to travel hundreds of miles up freshwater rivers and streams to return to where they were born to spawn. Along the way, the salmon navigate through some serious obstacles with head-scratching amazement, but occasionally run into dams and other obstacles they can’t get around or over and that is where the Whooshh Innovations fish cannon can help.

Of course haha (:
Hahaha check this

A Yellow Tang in a Red Sea Max 130D... that's just outright cruel, even for a small one.
edit: Not trying to start a fish keeping ethics debate, but pretty much all marine Tangs are wild caught, to see a creature that will swim *miles* per day (cant find an exact source for this) looking for algae to graze on confined to a 2ft long tank just makes me a bit sad.
