My cichlids seem to breathing heavy. For the most part.... 4 out of 5 of them seem very active. (4 one 1 1/2 inch convicts, and a 2 inch green terror). They swim around and eat, but they seem to be moving their gills very rapidly. I do rememeber seeing this in a book somewhere as a symptom of some...

I've had a cichlid tank now for 10 months. I faithfully maintain water changes, salt buffer, algae control,etc. I have about 14 common cichlid varieties in an established 55 gallon tank. To this point, it has been a very harmonious tank, everyone seemingly getting along, no strange behavior. I have...

Hey all, I'm a first time poster. I did a quick search on my post topic, and didn't find answers to my question. If my question's been covered before, please don't reply - I'll look it up myself. Thanks (just trying to avoid annoying people, but maybe I have already!). The scenario: 29 gallon...

I am looking for any individuals or stores that have Pelvicachromis taeniatus or Pelvicachromis subocellatus matadi for sale. I have not had any luck searching for these on my own. I am located in the Los Angeles area and don't mind shipping them in from anywhere within the U.S. Additionally, if...

Hi, I have had a Mbuna tank set up for a few months (post cycling) and have been doing 25% weekly - 2 weekly water changes to maintain by NO3 below 20mg/L. I just wondered what other people try to keep their NO3 at? Cheers, Phil

I should know the answer to this question, since iIve been dealing with tanks for about 10 years, but iIve never come across my problem. Right now my pH level is a little higher than Id like it to be. And I know they have the ph UP/Down products, which I do own(but have never used due to a fish...

Has anybody had any dealing with http://ahsupply.com for puchasing - especially from Canada? I'm looking to get a 2x55 light kit and the 48" pre-finished hood enclosure. I'm wanting to replace a standard plastic (cheap) hood with a single 48" tube in it. A related question is whether I should also...

I've seen quite a few posts lately pertaining to Jewels so I thought I would post a link to "My pair of Jewels", my Cichlids, not my nuts. As far as I can tell these are Liffalili Jewels. http://www.rse.co.za/fish/jewels.htm -- **So long, and thanks for all the fish!**

I'm considering using one of these kits (one of the ones that consists of a series of increasingly fine sandpaper pads). The kit says it can be used under water with the fish in the tank, but I'm concerned about the very fine bits of acrylic that will be liberated causing gill problems in my...

Hello, I have a 180 litre tank, approx 16" front to back, 18" high. It currently houses 2 Blue Acaras, 5 Buenos Aires Tetras and a Bristlenose plec. I spotted some young Jewel cichlids in a local shop, and am very tempted. I know they are aggressive, but I figure they are smaller than the...

I have 2 bumble bee amongst other different cichlids. 1 of the bumble bees recently has become very dark in color, more black than yellow. And it has been in an unusual mood. He keeps chasing the other bumble bee around, zipping around back & forth across the tank. And than bullying the others in...
