More bad news...

Aaaargh! This is killing me! Lost the female HRP yesterday. Spent most of the day doing large water changes and medicating tanks. Unfortunately, the remaining Festaes and Chocolates look thoroughly miserable. I think they have a fungal infection, but could easily be bacterial. If anything treatment with Myxazin has made everything worse, so I've hit a brick wall in terms of progress. Also looks like I'm going to lose the female Nigerian Red krib, but she has been a bit ropey since I got her.

This is not fun.

Introduction

I have always been fascinated by cichlids. They are among the most stunningly beautiful of fishes; they come in all shapes and sizes (there is a cichlid to suit everyone); and they have some seriously awesome behaviour. Since I started keeping fish 15 years ago I have kept and bred several species, but I never had enough tanks to house all the individual pairs I wanted (and their subsequent fry). In April '08, I was lucky enough to have a space-heated fishroom built into the garage conversion my girlfriend and I were having done. This diary is my way of keeping track of all my fish breeding projects. I hope you find it informative!
