matty73 Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Sorry for posting a question in the greet posts , i am a trucker usually there brains are tiny, well that's my excuse . I am from bundy, i found u guys from doing searches on calcium gravel , i have found getting good advice from the places up here i have purchased my aquarium products confusing frustrating , most things i have found out is of the net . I am also a mad fisherman prob why i love aquariums . I have peacock cichlids, electric blues x2, rubin red x1 , electric yellow x1, all females, and male midnight peacock , couple kouli loaches, bristle nose x2 , recently up sized to a 165 lt tank , all the girls are new as i only had midnight and his mate which he drilled into the ground , hence that's why i have now got him 4 females , his own little harem. They are great fish to keep, friendly and inquisitive and great to watch .Look forward to learning heaps from u all . cheers matty73 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellows Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Hi [MENTION=15333]matty73[/MENTION] and welcome If I read this right mate your heading for trouble (sorry to be blunt ) but your trying to mate peacocks and mbuna cichlids together your Electric Yellow and blues are mbuna and the others are peacocks as far as I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty73 Posted February 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Hey yellows gday, i have a rubin red for him , i also got a ob which the breeder guaranteed was a female, it wasn't, i returned it. they were the gals for the peacock, i was told (again by experts , i am not meaning peeps from on here,) that it was fine to have mbuna blues and yellow in there with peacocks as he has the rubin and ob to do his thing . the others as i understood were all from lake Malawi as well ? is this not correct?

Yes get very frustrating mate when you have all these so called experts on here ( Sorry there probably all on Facebook ) and they can't even be bothered to welcome a new member let alone help someone out don't worry happens to long time members to, but they will gladly take your money when they want to sell fish. Yes mate all your fish are from Lake Malawi but 2 different types and cross breeding them will only create hybrid's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only got about 251mm of rain. Here's the latest info I have for here. GYMPIE: Moderate flood levels will continue to rise during Saturday. A peak around the major flood level (17.0 metres) is likely Sunday morning about 3 metres less than the peak of January 2013. How did you guys go in Bundy and remember if it's flooded keep away from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
