Can Powder Blue Cichlids or Electric Yellow Cichlids live in a 10 gallon tank?
I have a 10 gallon tank and I really want powder blue cichlids or electric yellow cichlids or a combination. I know they get along in bigger tanks and that 30 gallons is recommended but i just don't have the space for a tank that big. If a 15 or 20 gallon tank could work I might be able to get one. If it is possible to have either of these fish in a 10 gallon, how many could i have? Please help.Can Powder Blue Cichlids or Electric Yellow Cichlids live in a 10 gallon tank?
The answer is yes and no. Electric yellow or Blue FRY can. In fact I grow my Pseudotropheus Flavus fry, along with any other species I get to spawn in a 15 for about a month. I then move them over to a juvenile grow out tank before I move them to my adult tank. So technically, yeah you can, but they'd have to be fry only. Juveniles and adults just are not going to work, I'm sorry.
I know you may not have room for a larger tank, but that's really what it's going to take. If you will not listen or follow this, then get ONE only. I'm sorry but you have to realize this:
With African cichlids, MALES are highly aggressive towards other males. Much like a Betta will not tolerate another Betta in it's area, a male will fight continuously with any other males if the space is too small and 10 gallons is far too small. The males will see each other all the time and fight, NO MATTER HOW MUCH ROCK YOU PUT IN. It's just not enough space. And when you buy a young group of Yellow or Blues for that matter, even the most experienced of keepers cannot accurately sex those fish at that age.
I breed several species of Africans, and GENERALLY speaking, you need to have a large group. Usually as my females are all still in their first full year of spawning, I'm getting between 12-18 fry per batch. It takes about a month of grow out to even start to GUESS if there's males and females. Males will on average grow up and larger much faster then females, but this is not a promise it's a male. I'm going into this to tell you, in a 10 gallon, even with juveniles, you aren't going to know until it's too late.
If you get the 20, you MIGHT be able to move up to 3 with the right amount of cover provided, and it would have to be a 20 long, not high.Can Powder Blue Cichlids or Electric Yellow Cichlids live in a 10 gallon tank?
If you put them in a 10 gallon tank you had better have at the most 3. I try to put all of mine in a 30 or higher but I have kept them in 10's. If you put them in something like a 10 or 20 you have to make sure they have lots of cover( rocks, caves plants). You will have to decide what type of cichlid you want. I just drove 260 miles to pick 5 Cynotalapia Afra White Top they only get 3 to 4 inches long and they change their color variation depending on there mood.Just ask your local petshop about the fishes size before you buy them.Also try to buy 1 male and 2 females. This will make it easier in a small space for the fish.
They wouldn't survive for long, because they would get stunted by being in such a puny tank. Did you think of mollies, platys, or guppies? they're almost as colorful and much more able to live in such a small environment.
neither of thease to types of cichlids should be in a 10 gallon tank not even one they require a lot more room for their territoral beheavor
well you could as long as you sell them or give them away after they become older
no, these fish get 5-6 inches long.
it would be like you sleeping in a closet.

What happens if you leave the cocoa powder out of a recipe?
I have a brownie recipe that I want to try but it calls for cocoa powder. If I leave it out would the brownies taste like white cake instead of chocolate? Does that make sense?What happens if you leave the cocoa powder out of a recipe?
Actually you will have more of a ';blondie'; type brownie. It will have the consistency of a chocolate brownie but will taste sweet like cake. You might want to add more flour as the recipe will be missing a powdery type ingredient. But not exact amount. If the recipe calls for 1/2 cup cocoa powder add 1/4 cup flour and you may want to increase the vanilla in the recipe for a sweeter vanilla flavor.What happens if you leave the cocoa powder out of a recipe?
You've got it Lyric! They would not be chocolate, and I am pretty certain it would not resemble white cake either. Have to wonder why you are asking, unless you don't have any on hand ~ if that is the case, I'd go with another recipe ;)
You answered your question. Cocoa powder is what makes it chocolate.
It will probably be good, but different and not chocolate.
Call it liar's brownie.
It won't be chocolate
i wont be chocolatefree

What do you recommend to melt embossing powder besides the special heat tool?
I've used a light bulb before, but it takes a while and I always see spots afterwards. I tried putting it on a Yankee Candle tart warmer with a tea light lit inside. But, that didn't work. I'm thinking of trying a hair dryer, but I don't want to blow the embossing powder off the paper. Any ideas? Thanks!What do you recommend to melt embossing powder besides the special heat tool?
I use a hair dryer, but I am very careful (like you said, don't want to blow the powder off.)
I blow it on the lowest speed but the highest heat and only do so on the underside of the paper, making sure to hold the paper securely. I usually utlilize a family member to hold the paper so that it doesn't slip away from the movement! :)
Good luck!What do you recommend to melt embossing powder besides the special heat tool?
I tend to use a heat tool, although in a pinch, the hob of an oven will work at a low temperature (I have an electric oven, so I'm not sure how well it would work on a gas one).
I saw a lady once who used a small electric griddle. She placed the embossed item carefully on the surface that had been heated.
I've heard of using a hair dryer, but using it under the paper instead of on top of it so it doesn't blow the powder off.
Yes spend the money and get a heat gun. Use a coupon from Michael's or JoAnn's and get it at 40-50% off.

Can you make cookies without shortening, baking powder or baking soda?
So, I'm a college student who is trying to bake cookies for a friend who's had some bad times in the past few days. I've got eggs, oatmeal, chocolate chips, flour, white sugar, salt, milk, oil and margarine, but no shortening or baking powder/soda, which seems to be crucial for many recipes. Can you make cookies without these ingredients?Can you make cookies without shortening, baking powder or baking soda?
I am fairly sure you don't need any of those things to make no bake cookies. You do, however, need peanut butter...and the recipe. http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/No-Bake-Coo鈥?/a> most call for cocoa powder but these use choc. chips!Can you make cookies without shortening, baking powder or baking soda?
Go to Paula Deen's cooking website. She makes peanut butter cookies that have no flour, soda, or baking powder in them.
You'll need butter.
Baking powder or soda are risers, they make the cookies grow, omitting them will give you a much denser cookie, closer to a sugar cookie I guess.
I wouldn't make them with margarine if at all possible.
no, you need at least one of them....
Here is a very simple recipe from WIC - healthy but good! Preheat oven to 350.
You will need 1 large egg, 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of creamy peanut butter (i use Jif) and a fork. Mix all the ingredients together in a medium bowl and drop onto lightly greased cookie sheet in small balls, about a 1/2 inch or so. Use the fork to gently press down on the top of the ball making a criss-cross pattern. Put into oven for 10 mins. Sometimes you need to add 2 more minutes. Cookies are done when they are golden brown around the edges. Makes about 18-23 cookies depending on size.
Enjoy!

What powder substances luminece under a Black Light?
What types of powders show up very brightly under a UV light? I am working on a theft detection issue, but commercial powder products are very overpriced and hard to find without mail order. I was hoping there was something mundane to be used instead. Note: inks and liquids will not work for my situation.What powder substances luminece under a Black Light?
Laundry detergent powder often fluoresces a bright white/blue. Glow-in-the-dark powder is a bit more expensive, but very bright (and available in many colors). There are also many minerals that do this, but they are usually uncommon enough to be too expensive for such a use.

Does powder foundation blend as well as liquid foundation? What are the pros and cons of each?
Does powder foundation blend as well as liquid foundation? What are the pros and cons of each? Which is better for oily skin?Does powder foundation blend as well as liquid foundation? What are the pros and cons of each?
liquid foundation is so much better, for any type of skin, i would go to your mac counter right now and get studio fix fluid, its amazing and its soo good for your skin. i used to have oily skin and now as long as i keep it moisturized and since ive been using studio fix i havent had any problemsDoes powder foundation blend as well as liquid foundation? What are the pros and cons of each?
Mineral/powder foundation is less of a coverage but still protects your skin, and if it is minerals, it is very healthy for your skin too. Liquid conceals blemishes better, but if you are using a cheep brand then it can cause the problem more. So be sure to used something that has quality and is noncomendogenic (has nothing is it that is small enough to clog your pores)
I love the liquid minerals, I apply it with my kabuki brush I got from bare minerals. I like both liquid and powder, I use both. Not all powders and liquids are the same, everyone skin is so different. I can't even begin to fathom all the money I have spent trying to figure out what works the best!
powder is said to be better for oily skin as it will soak some up and the liquid makes it greasier usually because of its ingredients. Powder from experience highlights the areas on your skin that are dry, but if you aply liquid first it doesnt look as bad.
Just use both. Use a colored liquid foundation as the base and top it with a translucent colored powder to decrease shine and add a matte-finish.
powder is def. better for oily skin
its doesnt blen as well as liquid.
but liquid gives more coverage than powder.
