Hello, I'm starting a 55 gallon Mbuna tank. After doing some research, especially on www.cichlid-forum.com, I was thinking of stocking the following mix of fish: 4 Labidochromis caeruleus 4 Pseudotropheus socolofi 3 Synodontis multipunctatus

I am running a 50 gallon tank with 13 African Cichlids. I have two filters attached to it, a eheim 2222 pro and eheim 2213. I've decided to chuck the 2213 and get the 2227 wet dry. I figure I'd have less maintenance and still have both biological and mechancial filtering. The problem is that...

Hi our daughter has left home to go to college and left us with an aquarium full of fish. So I've been cleaning the filter every few weeks and feeding them daily. Now I'd like to know what they are. I think they're cichlids, plus a few small catfish. Is there some good website I can go to try and...

Hi everyone. I'm Kim from Ontario and my husband Larry and I started a 26 gallon bow aquarium up with some cichlids. We have 2 dolphins, 2 yellow labs, 2 zebra and 1 I forget the name. They are all swimming pretty happily around and look beautiful. We spoke at length to the people at the fish...

Try freeze dried bloodworms (aka red grubs). German Rams are omnivores and like some "meat" in their diet. I feed mine dried bloodworms quite regularly and they've done quite well by spawning, etc. "Zach" wrote in message ... just got...

Hau kolas..quick question..short of snails, can someone reccommend any readily available algae-eaters for a malawai tank (75 gallon) in the "aggressive" ;) category? Plecos are apparently not an option..tank dominaters will kill these. Removing the dominaters will not help..these particular fish...

Hello, How many times per day do you think I should feed young Mbuna's? There are 14 in the tank. I have been feeding them maybe 3 - 4 times a day, with only enough food for them to have it all eaten within a minute. They seem to have a much more aggressive appetite compared with...

Okay, I know convicts are holy terrors and breed like rabbits but my 3 convicts are doing nicely in my 50 gallon tank with 2 clown loaches and a pleco. So, what other fish could I add that would be okay in this tank. I wouldn't mind getting a few smaller fish (in schools) but don't know if they...

and may 2005 be good to you and your fish. Rick from the frozen North where it is -40 in Winnipeg.

Please keep a watchful eye on your new cichlid tank. It typically takes more than 2 weeks to cycle a tank, and yet you have thrown in 15 cichlids in just that time, which are typically more sensitive than trops. watch the nitrite/nitrate levels cheers On Tue, 21 Dec 2004 22:35:13 GMT, "Gary"...

This was very bad.How can I make a fishtank cat-proof? My cats are very very clever and are not easy to fool ...

I removed a male and a female convicts for two weeks. This is because they breed all the time, and defend 1/3 of the tank (120 g). Well, I put them back yesterday, and guess what, they went right back to the same spot -- defending it again. There are about 20 hiding places, and they selected...

Anyone care to identift these juvenile cichlids? http://www.cutecats.co.uk/cichlids.jpg I am wondering what these are, I have 10 in total, a few of each in the picture. I want to add another 10 to 15, of a different Cichlid, hopefully which will become colourful adults. I like the look of the...

Hi, I have Scianochromis ahli and Otopharynx lithobates in one tank. Could they make babies together? Regards Thomas

On Dec 22 I am having a water softner installed. I had 14 grain hardness. What would be the best method to acclimate the fish to the new softer water condition, or should I use the hard water from an unconditioned outside cold faucet to service the tank with. Since it will be the dead of...

I presume they are easier to keep than Discus? The aquarium is a Juwel Vision 260 (260 UK Litres). A few newbie questions if that is OK. 1: I medium sized Pebble substrate in the aquarium, will this suffice? 2: I have 5 medium sized pieces of bog wood in the aquarium, is this OK? 3: I have 8...
