He actually had some fin damage when I got him and has healed nicely. I didnt feed him for a couple days and he just accepted some blood worms. I think he is just having some trouble adjusting to the hard water. If the problem continues or arises again I will think about some treatment, but for ...

Wow, thank you for the responses. The cloudiness is just from the powder buffer that I put in. I am certain that it is not a bacterial bloom.

So basically I am fighting a losing battle with trying to change my ph. I have had other south american cichlids adjust to higher ph but wasnt sure if that ...

I just got a new RTC and I am having some issues with him. He is in a tank by himself. Water parameters are as follows: Ammonia-0 Nitrite-0 Nitrate-20 Ph-8.2

He is 2-3 inches long. He ate well when he first got here and now he is not eating at all. Also he keeps rubbing himself against the rocks ...

Well thank you for your help. I think that you might be right about the size thing. And also it doesnt look like it would be easy to find anyways.

I was looking at the Cat e log on this site and there was a picture of this cat and i immediately bacame interested. I then Did some searching on the net to find any information at all but what i found was minimal. Thought i would ask you guys if anybody knew anything about it.

Thanks Viktor, I guess i should have seen this coming when i wanted to know about a hybrid. I just saw something that piqued my interest and wanted to know more about it. Didnt realize I would be shunned for it. It happens I guess.

What do you mean here? It would be a mix of two fish that i really like. I just wanted some information on this hybrid. I did not want to start an argument.

To each his own i say. I find hybrids fascinating. A lot of hybridization comes from trying to find more efficient ways of growing food. I think that if the hybrid i am speaking was significantly smaller than a sn; then it would be really cool. It would be like a mini sn in a way. Everybody is ...

Yeah i know that hybridization is a touchy subject for some. I had a four line pim a while back and really loved him. And i have always found the tiger shovelnose to be a very fascinating cat so when i found this, It really caught my interest.

I have heard a little bit about this hybrid but would like to learn more. From what i have seen it is a cross between the four line pim and a shovelnose. I love shovelnose but they get a little too big for me. Does anyone know how big this hybrid gets? And does anyone have any additional info on ...
