do labidochromis have teeth? I've just noticed today that mine seem to have little red teeth, around 1/2 - 1 mm long. I never noticed them before, they are red and spikey.. maybe they ate something red and it showed up the teeth? I just want to make sure it's not a parasite or something...

hi guys, I got a 5 inch E. yellow a couple of days ago from the fish shop. I think it is a female. It is not in very good shape. when it hovers still in the water it is not quite horizontal, it's head is higher than its tail, on a ~ 25-30 degree angle. It also uses it's "cheek fins" (the ones...

Does anyone have any recommendations for where to get some live food cultures. I am looking for Microworms, Grindal Worms, and White Worms. Thanks!

I kept planted tanks with small tetras and killies successfully before. Now I am turning my attention to keeping large cichlid like Texas Cichlid or Midas singly in a 70 gallon tank. I had a Flower Horn in a 3-feet tank and boy, does he put out lotsa waste on my bare bottom tank. All I have is an...

One of my red peacocks will occasionally stop where he is, and extend all his fins to the fullest while opening his mouth really wide, all for just a second and then he carries on. What's that mean? I haven't seen any of the rest do that.

I saw my Leopard and Leopard Snakeskin picking on my Rotala Rotundifolia i the back of my tank. I did feed them less than my other Discus in the other tank. I do have quite bit of brownish fuzz algae in between the leaves of my Rotala, Java Moss and Micranthemoides. Do they eat algae in the...

I am a newbie at fish keeping and have two problems I was hoping to get advice on. I have a 29 gallon tank with 4 firemouth cichlids, a striped rafael, a banjo cat, and a candy striped pleco. All fish are juveniles between 1 1/2 and 3 inches. I filter using a Whisper hang on the back filter. I am...

Okay fairly new to the cichlid thing and am loving it. (6 months). I have 75 gal. tank and all ph properties correct. 2 whisper filters keeping it sparkly clean. I know this concoction sounds weird but here is my fish. 1 Jack Dempsey 1 Texas Green Cichlid 1 Green Terror 2 Red Zebras 1 Elephant...

I bought a pair of Labeotropheus trewavasae, the weekend before last from what is normally a good shop, however, I am increasingly coming to the opinion that they have mis-identified the fish, since the shape of the mouth is wrong. Has anyone come across a cichlid with a distinctive yellow mouth,...

Hi.... I was at the LFS today and they had a beautiful looking fly river turtle in their tank with tropicals. They advised me they have had it in there for a while and are VERY confident you can keep it with cichlids no problems. Does anyone do this or is this not the case?

I have an 80gal tank with a Fluval 303 filter as well as a power head with a foam "filter" on it. I'm considering either replacing or supplementing the Fluval, and am looking at the Fluval 404 or the Magnum 350 Deluxe. My tank is somewhat overstocked and I can't get the water as crystal clear as...
