For some time, Marty (4" buttikoferi) has shown an almost neon blue in the adipose area and along the very edge of the ventral vin when he is excited. (My mantra, a blue fishy is a HAPPY fishy! :) ) Recently the color has expanded. The blue on the ventral fin now extends about 20% of the width...

Just wanna leave a note to say my Oscar has apparently recovered after about 6 weeks, belly gone back almost to normal. Not sure if it's the medication or just the plain old hardiness of the species. Anyway, glad to have it back in shape. -- cheers perrin

I recently posted an article with the subject Spawning Demspeys. Well this morning when I went to check on the Depseys I notice the pair of Oscars have spawned as well - on the other side of the tank. I did not notice the eggs yesterday when I did a gravel vac (I might have missed them) so I...

I was reading online about red top cobalts. Some sources refer to them as pseudotropheus, and others call them maylandia. Are they still considered to be from the pseudotropheus family? Also, when a species is designated BB, what does that refer to? Thanks, Mark

My Demseys have spawned again after losing all their fry (they never made it to free swimmimg) about two weeks ago. My attempt at a divider was useless as the fish were able to push past it. The Depseys did their best but overall conditions conspired against them and all the fry were eventually...

What would be a good algae eating fish for the following tank: 55 gallon with 5 firemouths , a raphael cat, and probably 3 ro 5 blue acaras?

I have a 150 gallon freshwater tank. I have 1 eheim 2028 canister filter,1 eheim 2029 wet/dry filter,and 2 Penguin 400 filters. I have it heavily stocked and the water readings are always excellent. No ammonia or nitrites. The water just gets dingy looking kind of a brown color and hazy.I...

I was looking at the Malawis in my 75 gallon and saw a fish I didn't recognize. It took me a moment, and then I realized it was the male red top cobalt who apparently matured overnight, because he was showing outstanding color. I didn't even know it was the same fish. Cool!! FWIW, Mark

Could anyone tell me if there is an algae eater that will live in an African Cichlid tank?

The fishes like it, I recommend to try it yourself.

Hi all. My oscar has had dropsy for a month now. It looks bloated like a fancy goldfish. I have treated it with anti-bacterial medication and it is still eating and looking ok. How will it fare in the end? TIA. -- cheers

It uses the same login as the forum on my site and hopefully will allow for quick answers when catastrophe hits. ;-) That is provided anyone is in the chatroom. Constructive criticism is always welcome. For negative,...

I have always wanted a fire eel. Now, at PetsMart, they have 6 SMALL (2-4 inch) fire eels there. Problem is, my one oscar is 7 inches, my other is 4, my JD is 4, and my needlenose gar is 6 inches. This may seem like a no brainer question, but will the eel get eaten? Since they have spiny backs,...
