I love Bolivian rams. Some cockatoo's with them might work in a big tank. I tried borelli and that did not. Let it season a little.

I did something similar last week. Tragic!! We learn from our mistakes and get better

I am trying to learn this plant right now. I've had some for about a month. Low kno3 and likes iron. I think mine is in too much flow. I don't know if anything similar that is more forgiving

We all learn hard lessons. When in doubt test water, change water, test again

I feel ya. My second tank got me. Fortunately everything in it was hardy, prime a water changes and they all made it. If they live and we learn then the hobby gets stronger in my opinion

I had borelli with Bolivian rams. They were too small. The nijsseni and baenschi are both pretty cool as well. The might fit the caca's better

They are beautiful. Another bucket list item for me. For now, I hope you have great success and we all learn from your experience

I'm glad your power is back on. Good news with no losses!! I bet your plants bounce back with some light

Me too. I had hair algae. I knocked lights back to 6 hours total, and both lights for four hours only. I also was not getting enough co2 in the tank so I have co2 pushed up to 2.5 hours before lights come on. That has me at .8 of a point drop in ph when the first light comes on

Diamonds are my vote. I have them and columbians. The columbians are like an idling ski boat. Lots of power but they hang around a lot. The diamonds dance. They are active like barbs

That is a nice little cichlid. I would love to hear more about behavior you see from them

The thomasi are supposed to be mild. They are very nice when they are fully grown. All of the West African dwarves are in my bucket list

I know a couple of people with Moliwe. They are Uber aggro with kids. They had to remove the male to save him. I want them, don’t have them yet. Based on reading they need soft water to breed

They had them in 20 longs. Neither have kept Thomasi

Anomalochromis thomasi, distinguishing sexes is not easy. Large males may reach 8cm, females 6.5cm. The spotted pattern is less conspicuous in the male so they stay lighter. During courtship and spawning ther didplay Five more or less uninterrupted broad dark transversal bands and a dark back instead of spots on body and caudal peduncle
