I have two in a 10 gallon while they are still small. Only 1.25 -1.5 inches each right now. How fast do they grow? Why do they fade colors? From day one, the the stripes would fade on the zebra, but in the last few days, they both fade out almost to white. -- David

Does anyone know what color, if any, fertilized Oscar eggs are? Thanks Austin

I was at the fish store today and saw Atlantic crushed coral that was crushed so fine it looked like sand. I like the idea of the sand look (which is actually crushed coral which maintains water quality)and will go with it unless there is a good reason not to. What are the pros/cons vs the crushed...

I think my cichlid has babies in her mouth. I took her out of my main tank and put it in a smaller tank. What should I do? Here is a pic. Hard to see her mouth. but its the best i can do. http://kevincaughey.tripod.com/cichlid.jpg

I have a 20 gallon tank with a large batch of Cich. Spilurum fry. I'm using a mini Aqua Clear filter with a sponge that covers the intake strainer. I'm hoping there won't be too many casualties with overly curious fry checking out that sponge.... Suggestions here? Are daily H20 changes with my...

Is it safe to mix any cichlid as long as they're from the same lake? I'm thinking of changing my 30 gal tank to a small cichlid tank. Very colourful ones would be nice. Any suggestions? Martin

I am interested in your guys opinions as to which of these canister filters are best. or doesn't it really matter?? Also, do you normally add a Bio-Wheel on the return line, or is the biological filtration within these canisters sufficient?? Thanks so much for your comments... I'm getting ready...

I'm curious about this... I know that krib fry is attracted to the red belly of their parent and stop moving as soon as that belly is out of sight, but observing my severums I wonder how those fish signal their fry. it'd be nice to have a list here of observations of parents handling their fry,...

I have a pair of Black Convicts where the female has laid eggs on the inside of a hollowed out rock, how long until the eggs hatch ? Also, should the fry be transported to another tank ? They are in a 55 gallon tank with an adult Red Devil and an algae eater.

I got a nice couple of severums with fry and 3 others, of which one claimed her (I believe it's a she) territory. everything was fine until today: the solitary female (a big one compared to the rest) expanded her territory at the cost of the couple's, the male sent his wife off to fight the threat,...

7days ago the Angels laid eggs on the internal filter casing but ate them within days. Surprisingly they laid another batch this week. I have today removed the Java fern leaves including young fry and placed all intact in a dedicated tank. The amazing thing is that a few fry were left attached...

Hi all Was thinking about buying about 6 to 8 small Oscars and hoping to find a pair. Does anybody know how long this would take before a pair is formed? Thanks Peter

I just purchased a 46 gallon Bow Front tank at Pet Goods and I was wondering what filtration system you guys would recommend for my 12 African Cichlids. Thanks so much... Bruce-NJ
