Red Zebra's - Pseudotropeus estherae, are generaly described as 'red' (various shades of orange) females and 'blue' males. OB females are also known. Ok, my tankful of juveniles have grown to young adults and I have about 10 'red' and 2 OB . No other species have ever been in with them. ...

I got a princess cichlid that doesn`t seem normal.. i think it`s a female... looks normal other than a larger looking stomach.... seems to swim normally when it does , but normally just lays next to a piece of driftwood.... when it does swim , it seems to be trying to cough , like...

Anybody find these in Michigan yet? TIA

I'm sure somebody other than myself has wondered if any of our large cichlids will be able to take advantage of the soon to be outbreak of the 17-year cycle of those cicada bugs that are due out in the next few weeks in the eastern USA? Anyone have any idea if these bugs will be edible for fish?

he will eat flake. but i've tried 3 brands of cichlid pellets. he might mouth them, then spit them out. if i feed flakes the other oscars won't eat pellets, flakes only. also the flakes don't seem substantial enough to satisfy a largish oscar. what can i do? is he in a down spiral? i do...

I have a pair of mature, very nicely colored Kribs that have successfully bred once. Only once. About 15 mos ago. Any suggesstions to bring about the blesed event again? I am running a 33FH tank with neons and head-tail lights as dither fish, a few corys and a pleco. They do seem to have issues...

Anyone have experience collecting wild driftwood? What processing steps do you need to take? Boiling with salt, disinfecting etc. Is this a dangeroius proposition? Bought Store driftwood is bloody expensive. ....Kodiak

I have 2 MF, one is 4.5" and the other is 2.5". They are in different tanks. I want to put them together, but teh big one is quite territorial. I guess adding the small one to the tank where the big one has settle down his territory is making thing more difficult. The tank is a 25gl, with the...

Hey everyone, can the average trailer in good condition (or 'manufactured home' if you prefer) hold the weight of a 55 gallon aquarium? What about a 75 gallon? I REALLY want some cichlids, but I want to do it right, in a large tank. But then again, I don't want to wake up one morning to find...

Just wondering if it would be potentially bad to feed bait minnows (i.e. crappies, fat heads) as feeder fish to a oscar that is too big for rosey reds but too small for comets. Also, how about the worms at bait shops? A heck of a lot cheaper than at the petstore. I have a strong suspicion that this...

Hello everyone, I have an empty 30 gallon (3' long) that I would like to use for my first African Cichlids. I know this tank is a bit small for most Africans, so I've been doing a lot of searching to find who I might be able to keep. I love the look of P. saulosi, and some websites I've found...

i have 2 20lb or more bogwood, and rock, set up as a cave. now do i want to disturb this formation on a monthly basis to vacuum, or just vacuum around it? or maybe move it every 6 months or so. the tank is too small to move the stuff to a different location. thoughts? it is an oscar tank

A few years ago came across a photo of a cichlid that was a bright blue with bright green highlights. Can anyone tell me the name of any type of cichlid which resembles this so I can look up the photo again and more information. thanks, Brian Shapiro

I always add a bit of Salt in my Goldfish aquariums. I wonder if Oscars like a bit of Salt in their water? If so what concentration? ....Kodiak

My kribs finally bred again, after over 1 year between successful spawns. Thanks to the people who suggested I remove the pleco. There are at least 50 and maybe as many as 80 tiny babies.

I know male peacocks are beautiful while females are drab, are there any color differences between male and female mbunas? I'm thinking of buying some online from aquariumfish.net and don't want to ask for a male and a couple of females then find out that the females aren't colorful. Thanks!
