Yes it will grow back. To be on the safe side maybe you should quarintine the fish for a week or 2 just to give it a fighting chance. I think the medicine for fin damage is known as Maracyn, but I might be wrong on that one, I'm sure someone else should know. Your front should be good as new...

Hi all; I really hope someone can help. I have a 33 gallon tank - PH is around 7.0 and temperature is around 28 degree celcius. 4 angelfish reside in the tank. This one angel is acting kinda weird; and I'm hoping she's getting ready to spawn. She's in the back on the tank and "pecks" at the...

Well folks ... the most bizarre thing has happened ... our next door neighbor came over one night with her little obnoxious 10 year old son of which I've nicknamed "fatkid". On a regular basis, fatkid keeps making fun of my fish in addition to hitting the glass and stressing out the entire...

Hello- I just discovered this group and must say I've picked up a lot of great tips/info. I'm hoping somebody can help identify some cichlids i picked up at my LFS. I've included a link to the pictures. Apologies for the quality, but hoping it is good enough (: From my research I believe it is a...

Hau kolas..quick question..I've got an unidentified small cichlid..about 3" long, dark grey body with 5 darker grey vertical stripes and black fins (I picked it up as a juvenille from an "assorted tank" about a year and a half ago when in my ignorance about compatabilites etc. and have never seen...

Looking for european online fish sales site.

I don't really need advice this time, but I thought I should share my latest fish problem. My cats usually hang out next to the fish tanks, watching the fish. Once in awhile they even jump on top the tanks and drink out of them. A few days ago I found my 10 inch Oscar dead on the floor. I...

What I was meaning about point D was: A forward flow head on one end of the UGF and a reverse flow head on the other end of the UGF. I was thinking this may not be a good idea because the water would form a current from one end of the UGF and over to other end. Thus the water current would be...

I am a newbie but advancing. After Nine months of 23 fish in a 50 gallon tank, and about 7 assorted plants, it is time to give it a good strip down and clean out. I had a small UGF in the tank but it did not cover the entire bottom, and I always do weekly water changes and gravel vacs. But I...

In then last two weeks one of my pearl gourami's and my keyhole cichlid have been butting each other and being aggressive towards each other. when this happens, my keyhole cichlid changes to a darker colour across large areas of his...

Hi, Not even sure I fully know what I'm talking about here but does anyone use a moonlight tube for after the main lights go out. I know they use them in reff tanks for corals that glow. If so what is it and how long is it on for etc... tia, Sky

A few weeks ago I went out to my LFS and bought two small jack dempseys. They were supposed to be an interesting addition to my green severum tank. I bought them small because I knew they were agressive and the severums are generally not so I wanted the jacks to grow up around the severums and...
