Pet Forum / Aquaria / Cichlids / August 2003Low maintenance tanganykan aquarium
Hi, my tank is only a 20 gallon size, and I have 5 tanganykan cichlids and 5 red crabs. I never changed the water, I never syphoon the bottom to clean it, because I don't feed them very often. I only add new tap water due to evaporation, but I cover all my holes, so the evaporation occurs very slowly. I have not changed water since October of 2000. I feed my fish , just cichlid flakes, once a month. I cover my tank with all sides with paper or blanket so it will not create algae on the walls. Also under dark conditions, fishes of the cichlid genre, are less active at night than day. Everynight when I am home, I just appreciate the beautiful peaceful and tranquility of colorful tanganykan cichlids comingling with red crabs.My fishes are not much bigger than my red crabs of course. thats a great bloody idea! Why didn't I think of that!!! lets all STARVE our fish, DEPRIVE them of LIGHT, and let the stew in their own FILTH, so we don't have to do any freakin Water Changes! Lazy freak... BTW, that torpid state that you refer to as peaceful and tranquil, is also commonly known as STARVATION! Are you still sexually molesting them too btw? > Hi, my tank is only a 20 gallon size, > and I have 5 tanganykan cichlids and 5 red crabs.

Every year I try to post this message to describe to the world a new approach on how to keep a healthy low maintenance aquarium. The majority of the posts here is about improper care of fish, due to overfeeding and or too much light or water changes causing ph and water variations. I do not even use a thermostat in my aquarium. How do you know if the fish are hungry or starved? You don't know. Fish do not have emotions. They are animal predators, unlike domesticated cat and dogs. From my aquarium, it is clean shiny, colorful, and still swimming around. regards > thats a great bloody idea!

You are a god damned freak... just because they can "survive a month without food, doesn't mean thats all they need to eat. I could probably keep you alive in my closet by feeding you every week or so too. I don't think you'd be very healthy though...

Jesus Christ! What an outrage - you apparently have no idea what you're doin' to the fish! I'm appalled by your obvious animal abuse! Someone ought to lock you up and make you starve for weeks and weeks, then maybe you realize how your behaviour affect those poor animals. Not to mention the fact that you're enough of an idiot to describe your misdeeds in a usenet posting... You really should get some professional help! Go away troll... you've been here, done this, now take your souvenir and take it back to mommy and daddy.. |_ 0 Z R !!! I have a 55 gallon aquarium with an Oscar, a Green Terror, a Blue Acara, a Jaguar Cichlid, 2 orange finned botia, and a Trinidad Pl*co, and I also have not changed the water in a LONG time (almost 2 years). I use an undergravel filter system, two Penguin 330 biowheels, and of course the Pl*co and Botia to keep the tank clean, clear, and algea free. I feed them 2 times a day with flakes and food sticks, and once every two weeks, I give them feeder fish. I try to limit the light time to 9 hours a day, but I am not too anal about it. They all get along real well, and the water is good enough to drink......hmmmm fish water.... > Hi, my tank is only a 20 gallon size, > and I have 5 tanganykan cichlids and 5 red crabs.
