Chunky Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Hi all, I'm an embarrassingly inexperienced fish keeper from Newcastle. My presence here is the result of more of TerribleTegs's proliferation, so she is at least partly responsible for the Newcastle infestation that seems to be happening right now. I currently have one tank with a few Cichlids, including a few electric blues I am hoping will breed once I stop mucking around with the decor. I've killed several plants, so at the moment I'm just growing rocks. See you guys around, Chunky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninoid12 Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 heya, hows the rock growing going??? :eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunky Posted September 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Thanks all. Rock growing is kind of tough, I've actualy lost a few nanometers due to erosion! Apparently I need to wait for some seismic activity. It's hard tho, I'm so impatient! :eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terribletegs Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 :) You know you can get plants off me any time Chunky. I can't guarantee your cichlids won't smash them however! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunky Posted September 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Woo! Free stuff! I might actually take you up on that Tegs, I am setting up a new tank, it would be good to have the plants established before I add my mighty destroyers. How well do plants cope with Ammonia and Nitrite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 they eat it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunky Posted September 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Thanks Lilli, I thought so! I was told by the LFS that I should cycle my tank first because it might be a problem. I think that they are just terrified about being wrong and having people cranky at them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilchard Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Have you tried Anubias sp. in the tanks with your plant destroyers, i run them with Mbuna and tang shellies without a problem. The leaves are bitter and the fish dont eat them, and in most casas strong enough for a 4inch bristlenose to hang from them without damaging the plant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
