I just installed one of the new Lifeguard 300 FBF on my 125gal Cichlid tanks. Just wondering if anybody has anything they have learned when using these types of filters that may be helpful. Tips, things to watch for anything really. Thanks much. -- Craig Williams _________________________________

Hello, Yesterday I noticed my 3-4 inch electric blue peacock in a mixed Malawi tank had what looked like a 1/8 inch bite out of his stomach. The scales were missing and the area was whitish and he's hiding behind the filter exhaust at the top of the tank a lot. I figured someone got aggressive and...

Let me know if anyone has a spare tank lying around they would like to get rid of it. I would be glad to come by and pick it up. Email me at

I have a 75 gallon with an assortment of Malawis and have tried to pick species so as not to get any cross breeding. A lfs owner said that if you get species that look too much alike you will get hybrids, so working from that assumption, I have: Red zebras 3 Red top cobalts 3 Acei yellow tail...

Last night I dropped an 8 ball of coke into my 125 gallon Cichlid aquarium, and now my Cichlids are shaking and vomiting blood. Can I dry out my tank and scrape out the coke?

Wanted: 100 gallon or larger leak free aquarium with stand. Central Minnesota area. Will be willing to pick up or arrange to meet in between. Email me at the above email address.

Hi I am trying to find a group where I can ask questions about freshwater angelfish. I'm pretty sure angels are considered Cichlids so I thought I would try here, but if anyone can point me to a newsgroup more on topic please feel free.

I didn't see this program, and I am new to the group. I am basing my post on what I have read. What would have been cooler would have been to make a 1- or 2-week "thing" of it, where over the course of that time they spend a little time each morning showing the *process* of setting up a healthy...

I have some fry that seem to be surviving!! I stripped my red zebra last night, I thought she was holding only 1 or two fry, I was mainly stripping her so she could eat again, she'd been holding for nearly 4 weeks. turns out, to my suprise, 10 little orange fry swam out of her mouth!! I'm pleased...

I just got this new Oscar and he swims very strange head pointed up to the top of the tank all the time, and tail end down. he has been in there 2 days and is only about 1.5 inches long. Could anyone tell me why it is doing this or is it normal? How are they with eating ghost shrimp also?? or maybe...

I have a E. Yellow Lab. that has developed brown spots on several places. She doesn't show any signs of stress, but the spots persist. She swims eats and bickers a little with the other fish. The water tests 0 ppm on ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates remain very low with regular water changes. I...

Hi all. . . . . I have been considering for sometime of switching from pea sized gravel to 1-3 inches of fine sand. It is a 50 gallon long tank with 1 oscar, 4 giant danios, 1 plec, and 1 dragon fish (which would love to burrow in the sand.) The pet store only has sal****er and Aragamax Sand. What...

Anyone going in May? Anyone have any info on this event. I am interested in going.

Now first off I'm going to have to make a confession... I was weak and I made a purchase from the dreaded "Assorted African Cichlids" tank. I just couldn't help it, he was so pretty. So my problem is that every time I settle on what type it is, I change my mind 10 minutes later. I think it's...

hi i just setup my tank for african cichlids and i have lots of rocks in my tank and i was just wondering about getting plants. I was thinking if i do get plants the cichlids will destroy them, should i get plastic plants or real plants.. any advice would be great guys...

I just started cycling a new 20 gallon tank. I was thinking about putting some smaller African cichlids in it, any suggestions on what would work well in this size tank? Sunshyn
