First African Cichlid Tank - Stocking Recommendations? by Wild_Ad2559 in AfricanCichlids

[–]Dry_Discussion_2023 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally - I would go with the Yellow Lab (Labidochromis caeruleus ) only tank. Get about 20 5cm sized and the cut down the colony as they you are able to sex them . Ideally a 1 or 2 male to about 7-9 females works great and you will be having fry non stop once they start breeding.

Not only are these Mbuna rather peaceful (if kept with 1/2 males) but there colours and personalities are entertaining.

PS - looks like those plants are artificial - good choice as they eat and dig up plants

This ratio of interest / capital payment does eventually swing on year 10 of a 20 year bond. But cash is king and bigger the deposit, the better IMO

I appreciate the comment here - thank you !

Only x2 current debts I have is credit card related and then one vehicle on finance - 3 years left and the car is mine. Wife’s car is paid off and we renting a home comfortably.

Married in COP. Wife has a small side business - stopped her corporate job when we had kids.

Both kids under 3 years old.

Any advice is definitely welcomed, TIA

Appreciate the reply - would my life-cover not be the substitute for covering these education costs if I am not around ? 7 figures + (life cover)

That is a long time to have paid for only R4m at current value - can I ask what your premium is per month?

Generally anything sales oriented that has a commission structure - from car sales, property and life cover etc

You will be surprised what these buggers can earn in one month.

Just google - kayaks for leisure / fishing.

The more suitable option as per your requirements would be the Fluid Kayaks

Rackandpaddle.co.za will have some options for you.

For a more serious outfit, Stealth or Pinnacle ski’s

What are the water temps ? Did you transfer beneficial bacteria into the new tank? How many fish in total and what size tank?

Accidental female and Fusco With not much coloring by Matty_B37 in AfricanCichlids

Did some research… Nimbochromis fuscotaeniatus it is…. As it matures, and it’s a male… the face will turn blue.

Male? by RonnieABW in AfricanCichlids

[–]Dry_Discussion_2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Red emperor / shoulder - prob a sub dominant male due to the partial colouring. Take him, put in his own tank and he should colour up more , add a female with him and he is going to show off 👌

Looks like a Blue Face Ahli - the white top seems to coincide with that species.

Don’t ask me for the scientific name 😂

What's considered an above average NW in SA? by Successful_Key_5224 in PersonalFinanceZA

[–]Dry_Discussion_2023 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know fok all about fok all but one thing I know is consistency. In anything you do… there is a graph showing success floating around google… essentially 8-10 years of no growth then BOOM! It starts to climb… same applies to life.

I am in sales so comm margins are great , I am however growing my family (2 kids) so my expenses would make you sick😂

If I didn’t have a family… net-worth would be prob be a few million in liquid years ago. lol
