The ideal way to house your dwarf cichlids - The fish rack!!

[illumnae]

i'm intending to use the kind of setup discus keepers use to do water change. more and more i'm finding that apisto keepers can learn alot from the discus hobbyists they do 100% water changes 1-3 times a day depending on how much time they have and thus are forced by necessity to find a way to make the water changing process easier.

but of course this involves tank drilling and thus is not very DIY friendly so as genes pointed out it comes at a price. i intend to get a discus hobbyist who specializes in making such racks to make mine =)

Water changes.... utility bills...mine already in the hundreds. More tanks, more expensive

haha very true. but what i tell my dad when he complains is...1 50% water change for my 4x2x2 = 1 shower my sister takes...so it's a minimal increase in cost

yixiang,
maybe you can tell your sister to cut down on her shower to save on the utility bill

Local hobbyists don't support local fish shops and orders overseas.

Shops don't carry many fishes as sales are not good. Prices become high as volume transacted is low.

Then hobbyists complain that local fish shops have no fishes or miserable selection and that prices are high.

Then local hobbyists don't support local fish shop and orders overseas.

No Cheers,

Its an endless iteration isn't it?
As for me, I only support if LFS be it local or foreign are thrustworthy enough with their shipment information.
Recently, kudos to NKS for their ability to bring in wild shipments from Brazil.
Local hobbyists can look at sharing shipment through NKS to bring in more apisto shipments from South America.

*Disclaimer - I've no implicit commercial interests with NKS*
