I was reading about rams, I would appreciate any feed back about rams, and if it is any of htese rams better than others (in terms...

I have a pair of Oscars about 6 inches long (so far!) in a 125g tank that are for all observations healthy and typical. The other day I came down and found that one had ripped the pectoral fin of the other clean off - nothing left. I've kept Oscars for a while so I'm used to damage but I've never...

What's your opinion of keeping 4 silver dollars with 1 or 2 blue-eye cichlids? I currently have an empty 40 gallon tank. I'm looking for suggestions on what to include with my 4 silver dollars. Thanks, Jay

All I have to offer is my personal experience. This is an invaluable tool when relating to others with respect. Once someone starts "shoulding" on me they get my back. But then we all have those little obligations that we must adhere to related to our family and up bringing, "Pauley, don't show...

I have a 220 gallon tank with 6 red devils about 4" long each. Unfortunately the tank was new when I started (Jan 4th) so I used Biozyme to jumpstart the bio filter. The Ammonia spike was not so bad i never hit above 2ppm and just for a few days and i did a few 25% water changes just to be...

Hey, Can anyone possibly tell me what the first name of Boulenger, the discoverer of Pelvicachromis pulcher(Kribensis)is. Thanks

Hey all, I was wondering if anyone knew the typical spawn size of N. similis. I had two wild females have spawns last month. One female shortly thereafter lost a territorial dispute with a rival male (her mate was so badly damaged I had to move him to another tank, I'd move her too except she won't...

A several months ago I put a rather agresive angel into my "hospital" tank because it kept beating up the other Angels. Amongst a series of incidents I squashed him with a sharp piece of slate and took a great chunk out of his side. The hole never seemed to heal and at one stage he was lying flat...

Any ideas? The suction cups don't seem to want to hold the heater to the plastic container.. This is not a hard plastic container.. -- Tim... Lost in the state of confusion... errr make that California..

We entered the hobby a few weeks back, and have a small 5 gal aquarium running, apparently well, and decided to up the ante. Well, we setup a planted aquarium round about christmas, and added a few tetras, the ammonia spike happened, then subsided. We read about bio-spira. So we rushed out, and...

Hi, I have a Red Zebra Malawi Cichlid which has a black string about an inch long dangling out of one gill. Both gills appear to be red and swollen. All the gill worm descriptions I was able to find describe white/green worms which are barely measured in millimeters... this seems not be fit the...

Hi all, I have a 45G tank in my living room running for few months now, my concern is that because it is in the middle of the room span every time someone walks by there is a slight vibration and I can see the water and the tank shaking a bit. The other day I had couple of little kids visiting and...

I have always wanted an Oscar or oscars and now I have a 55 gallon tank. I think I need special filtration don't I? Also how many can I keep in a tank that size, I know they can get quite big. Any info is greatly appreciated. Laura (Milwaukee)

Howdy all, some new photos of my tank & questions (tis a 55Gal), starting with DSC00502.JPG. I took the albinos I had back to the LFS for trade. http://snipurl.com/3ncu DSC00502.JPG is my best attempt at a panorama :) Someone last time around suggested I add more holey rocks. I added 2; one...

A lot of people wish this was true, but it's not. Oscars grow to over 10 inches long, no matter the tank size. Assuming they don't die from disease or poor water quality first. "High Flight" wrote in message ... Is it true that a baby Oscar...
