Hi My pair of Dempseys have just spawned and have obviously been defending their spawning site with zeal. One of my pair of Oscars has taken a hit or two as I can see missing scales. I also have a pair of Peacocks and one of them has taken a hit to the side which has left a small open wound The...

I'm interested in cichlids from Lake Malawi. Which types are least aggressive? Peacocks? I want some pretty fish and I'd like to see them breed, but female peacocks are ugly, so if I go with peacocks it'll be an all male tank. Are there any species/groups that aren't too aggressive and have...

Have you ever heard of using non clumping non scented kitty litter in tanks with cichlids? It is supposed to be placed in the tank then a fine layer of gravel added over it. I have heard of a few people doing this and I was wondering if anyone here has ever tried it. -- Ladytunderin

I have an adult breeder pair and one extra female chanchitos. They are the "oblongum" variety and originally came from Tangled Up in Cichlids. They are much more colorful than most strains. I doubt that the "oblongum" is a valid species, but that is the name they are being sold under. Anyhow,...

I have juvenile and adult Kribensis ( P. pulcher) , juvenile and adult guppies , an adult male angel, and a 5 inch juvenile Oscar to give away to anyone who will pick them up in Schofield ( central WI , just south of Wausau ). I'm replacing three smaller tanks with a larger aquarium, and these...

I used to remove the parents to a new tank and not the fry, if its a community tank then your pushing your luck. Feeding the fry, well I used a liquid fry feed for a long time until they grew bigger, then feed them on flake food that was put in a blender and turned into dust. Feeding amounts for...

I am looking after someones african cichlids, one of them an electric yellow and it's mate seemed to have had babys, the fish with the least colour is carrying them around in it's mouth. How long will this go on for ?, I removed this fish from the tank and have it in a smaller holding tank on it's...

Actually, my fish are not cichlids, they are local wild fish. I've got two tanks that are fully cycled with ammonia and nitrites safely under control. Nitrates are also within acceptable range. Besides the water being a little hard and some variations on alkalinity, everything is pretty well...

Hi all, I have gravel on my African's tanks and I was thinking of changing it to sand. I have juvenile mbunas, and I have read that they prefer to play in sand, is that true? I think I like the look of sand better, but will it be better for the fish? If so is it true that I can use pool filtering...

In the past 3 months, I have had 2 firemouth cichlids die. One was several 2 years old and one was 1 year old. I am wondering if there might be something wrong with my water. I have tested the water this morning, after finding my firemouth dead, to find the following: pH = 7.0 NO2 = 0.3...

I've put up a page with my current photo gallery of my similis tanks and their fry. I got some good photos with my new digital camera in macro mode which motivated me to post the pictures. Later on, I'll make a more detailed breeding tank style page. Here's the...

rosebud: I try to keep a resonable tank for our chiclids. The ammonia level seems to be stayin at a level of between 0-1ppm. My assumption is that this a good level. But I wonder sometimes if it should be better. I use spring water when I do water changes. I have tested the clorine and ammonia...
