Yea I bother with a few but it is a pain.
I wanna talk to people not look at flashy pages
or fill out forms
But usenet is pretty empty now
Half the denzins are bots
and to get the good goss
ya gotta roam happy in free
thru the matrix of time
under green canopy
sucks being last of the herd to migrate tho....
Whats wrong with this spot?
Does the job.

Lake Malawi isn't that old in terms of evolution. Only 2,000,000
years. Relative to Tanganyika, Malawi is a baby :)

The reason for the huge variations in varieties is isolated rocky
areas. My friend who studies the cichlids in the lake says that every
off-coast area where rocks (cliffs) get near to the surface has
different peacocks.

Another friend told me about a cliff that was almost entirely blue
with thousands of Aulonocara - more common than the Mbuna.

Have you seen a blue and yellow barred peacock? I've only seen a
picture of a group of them taken in the lake but never seen any for
sale in the hobby.

The last ones are: natural mountain spring water
plus JBL Malawi Salt for water changes. I'll be
also testing demerged Eichornia crassipes
(Water Hyacinth) filtration for nitrates control.

They are considered noxious here which is a shame,
I have used duckweed in the past tho with ok effect.....
except I fed it back to tanks so the nitrate never really escaped.
hmmmmm....
natural mountain spring water sounds like the go tho
good work with that
