Hey there, I have a ten gallon tank with two baby convicts in it. Now, these two fish are black convicts and are not more than an inch long. I have had no problems except having to relocate my neon tetras and other than that they seem to be getting along fine. However, more recently I...

Hi All, First time poster here. Someone recomended this NG for advice\information on some fish I recently bought. I just picked up 3 fish called "Sun Cats". They are some of the most unique fish I have ever purchased. They are very personable and very active. One thing I was not aware of was...

Tonight I cleaned my 29 gal tank. The kid decided he would try to get the mineral deposit off of the glass that covers the light hood with baking soda. He carefully rubbed and got it all off, rinsed it two or three times to where the glass was squeaky clean. When I put the hood back on the...

Are their any detritivores(eat waste, extra food, scales) for a Mbuna Cichlid aquarium? I know certain snails, crabs and micro-fauna perform this task in marine aquariums. However, I've googled for "Freshwater and detritivore", but found not found what I'm looking for. Thanks, Glenn

hello, I was wondering, I have 3 dwarf puffers in a 2.5 gallon, it seems that 2 of the three have paired off and kinda left the other. The third puffer is skinny. What I was wondering is should I buy a fourth puffer so that the third and the fourth pair off (maybe) or should not disrupt the first...

just reading through the post about the frontosas. wondering if the same rules apply to aulonocara? obviously I would need more vege matter for these guys, but other than that, same rules?? and what are people's opinions of dried brine shrimp, do you think they are just as good.

(I originally posted this in alt.aquaria, and figured here would be a better place to ask. Sorry for the double posting if anyone notices) I'm curious, I've recently taken in two jewel cichlids (a guy I knew was getting rid of them), and I have them happily floating around in their own 20 gal. I...

Just a quick note to let all of you know I have added a few pictures of when I turned my back and side yard into a breeding facility. Just click the link for breeding. This is a true example of a hobby gone crazy, and after all of this I'm still married. :) www.exotic-aquatics.com

Before I posted that th emale injured the female, and the fish whas cuts and fungus. Netmax sugested to look att he tank and any objects that might have be apart of it. Netmax was right. First I made a mistake, the injured fish was the male not the female who did die 3 days later. It looks as if...

hey all I recently made a trip to the LFS in hopes of finding a female Malawi peacock to "accompany" my various male reds and yellows in my tank. They have a tank over there labeled "Asst. Females". I took a stab and found the most peacock-looking female I could find. So, what type of fish did I...

Hello, I'm fairly new to aquariums and have never kept african cichlids. I bought a 75g tank from the lfs about 2 years back and kept some community fish in it for awhile. Due to a really busy schedule I didn't have much time to take care of them and some of them died. Most others I gave away...

Has anyone tried the CICHLID breeding caves sold @ www.commonwealth.net They state that their fish breed like crazy in their caves and logs. Please take a look and let me know what you think.

I bought over the net a SeaClear acrylic with hood. These hoods are specially fitted for this aquarium. The hood came with ONE light socket, although it is wide enough for two. There is a small plug haning off one end of the socket, as though perhaps you could add a second fixture. I have no...

Hello. I don't normally post here, but I do read it. Anyway - I have a 4ft tank which I want to slowly convert to be a cichlid tank. At present it contains 2 nocturnal catfish (a pleco and similar, which hide by day under wood), 4 kribs, 3 clown loaches and 3 tiger barbs. Some of the older...

Anyone use this filter? I purchased one and I did not take the proprietary filter media with it.. Anyone have any suggestions for the types of "Bio Balls" I can use with this filter? It is going on an over stocked Malawi tank as the new primary filter..The "HOT" tetra tech cannot keep up with...

Well, as the subject implies, I'm getting a 50g tank set up for breeding green severum. I've always thought they were gorgeous fish, and there seems to be quite a bit of interest from the local fish stores for tank raised severum. I've done quite a bit of reading online and with various other...
