Hiya unfortunately it does look like early signs of fin rot to me :( I’ve kept quite a few bettas and whilst most of them lived very happy lives, I did have one that came to me with a pretty bad case of fin rot. His tail was extremely frayed and I honestly didn’t know if he’d last a week. But I...

About a month ago I purchased two Apistos on a whim and now I’m worried that I might have two males that will stress out everyone in the tank whilst fighting. I would really really appreciate some help in determining their sex, so I know if I need to return one So far they like to chill...

Wow that is very interesting... it’s great that they were all still happy and that the severums were able to breed! I’d love to try something like that however with my oscars in the tank it’s probably best to maintain my ph at around 7

Wowee their colouring looks awesome! I particularly like your gold severums! If I added severums to my tank 4-5 gold or red spotted severums would look pretty cool alongside my albino oscars

Yes definitely! They have their own tank, currently raising their third batch of fry!!

Hahah yeah I was originally gonna go for an Oscar only tank but the two other oscars I had just caused wayyy too many problems. It’s crazy how one Oscar can be a killing machine whilst another can be completely chilled out. If I did go with severums how many would you recommend?

Yes literally love all of these fish! I’ve got a pair of electric blue acaras set up in a 35 gallon that breed ALL THE TIME, they’re so aggressive when they’re breeding :rolleyes: Chocolate cichlids are another one of my favourites but I cannot find them anywhere. If I could find them they’d...

Alright two fish that I absolutely love!! I have considered getting a school of flag tails however in the past while they were incredibly good at devouring any algae growth, they also destroyed my plants my tank is pretty barren at the moment but I’m planning on planting a bunch of vals in the...

Hehehe yeah I’m definitely lucky to have found one this size near me! My largest Oscar is at about 5 inches or just under but they’re still juvies so even though both of them have great temperaments at the moment I’m worried that as they get older they’re aggression will increase. They had no...

I do like Bala sharks a lot more than SD’s but they are also a little too bland and common for me.

Yeah definitely won’t be putting SD’s in this tank

Hahah yeah my fire mouth has more “fire” than both my oscars combined . My oscars are very docile but they’re both still juvies. My albino red Oscar is about 5 inches and my albino tiger is about 3 inches long. My only issue with other firemouths is the aggression between the males. I had to put...

Hey guys I’ve recently upgraded to an 8ft x 2ft tank for my two oscars and one fire mouth. Currently using two canister filters; 1800L p/h and 2200L p/h. Fine black gravel substrate and planted with blue stricta. I’m wanting a little advice on some stocking ideas. I was thinking a Senegal bichir...

Thank you so much Wills for your informative advice! Rainbows were definitely on my mind for stocking ideas, however, my LFS only stocks Boesemani rainbows and it seems as though they’ll be too big for my tank. Any ideas on what type of barbs I could use in this tank and how many? I really love...

Hi I’m new to the group! Just wanted a little bit of advice with what to stock in my 77gallon. It’s 3ft Long by 2ft Wide. Planted with blue stricta and fine black gravel. I currently have two firemouth cichlids and I’d like to get 1-2 blue Acaras. Anyone have any recommendations on other...

Do you have the measurements of the tank? Eg. tall or long? you could definitely try some bottom dwellers such as Cory cats (between three and five). They’ve got great personality and they keep your substrate a little tidier.
