Sorry, I'm on vacation so I'm not checking the site quite as much.

2:2 ratio is just the same as a 1:1 ratio so no it would not be ok. 2:1 is obviously better as there will be two females to chase instead of one, but it still is not enough in my opinion. The minimum for me is 3:1 and I prefer 4:1 in most cases.

nighthawk - - - welcome to the site ..............the site creators name is javahava......

if you set up a profile and submitted pics it usualy takes a few days for them to be approved, open your own profile and see if your pivs are there, if they are they will probably say pending approval under them...............it's just a waiting game from there, after that it depends on how fast people start looking at the pics and rateing them

good luck and welcome again

There are these semi aggressive fish, assorted apistogramma.
They do good in planted tanks, that seems like what your going for.
And the colour is great looking on them!

ok i'll will give it awhile, you wouldn't know why any of that is happening would you? cuz its still f'd up

you could try a new thread labeled 'javahava' in this section instead of hijacking this thread and expecting him to figure out whats going on since you don't seem to have the pm system all worked out.
There are no moderators on this forum. Generally its pretty self-explanatory and things don't really get out of hand..
I can almost assure you though you'll get java's attention if you create a new thread with his name in it.

ok, back to my thread... I've been testing my water almost every other day, no nitrites or nitrates. Though, I seemed to get a massive buildup of algae? does that mean the tank is cycled????

can an algae eater be put in the tank with my cichlids? any smaller varities? I keep seeing these monstorous ones at my LFS and unfortunately, I think one of those will look out of place in my tank.
