Hi all, I'm moving the denizens of my 45 gallon to my other tanks and am redoing that tank. My water is alkaline liquid granite, (DH 8 and PH 7.5-8) I'm thinking about what to put in the tank (I want a biotope of some sort). Central American and Malawi fish would really like my water. (I don't...

Please help! I have a flower horn cichlid that seems fully grown. (Approx. 8 inches) I'm pretty sure she's a royal tiger. Right now I have fry from her. This is the third time her eggs have produced fry, from about five or six times of laying eggs. She has NEVER had a tank mate and has been alone...

Good afternoon all - I have a pair of angels, the female, poor thing - when I got home the day before yesterday, she had no right fin, and the other was also bitten down far. The male was being aggressive AS I watched. I'm having a few problems, hopefully you all can help me. 1: I moved the...

I reported problems earlier with my fish (local, freshwater, wild fish) flashing against various surfaces even though the water parameters appear okay. At that time, I also pointed out that the problem seems noticeably worse after cleaning the tank, which consists of vacuuming the gravel...

Hi All, I was given 1 male and 2 female Red forest jewel's a couple of weeks ago. I mainly keep planted tanks, but I decided to keep these fish as a trial and threw them in a 2ft tank with a basic undergravel filter. It seems that the Jewel's decided that the tank conditions are perfect and have...

I bought a little convict cichlid yesterday, about 1.5". As best as I can tell it's a female, it has short fins and a red belly. I had an empty 10 gallon tank that I had been using as a quarantine tank, but I finally got my show tank fully stocked, so instead of tearing it down I decided to put a...

I want to add some firemouths to a 55 gallon tank(no fish in it currently, but cycled). I don't want the tank to become overcrowded as they grow. How many should I start with. What other fish would be compatible with them?

I noticed the name on my breeder sheets. Sci name is the same. I couldn't find much by Googling, just a couple of poor pictures: http://iopets.com/en/FishD-6026.htm http://www.twaa.org.tw/%E5%8D%94%E6%9C%83%E9%AD%9A%E5%9C%96/twaa031.jpg Anyone ever see one? -- www.NetMax.tk
