Alright. I dont see them poop much, but I will keep my eyes peeled I don't feed them blood worms because of the cichlids in the tank. I know they are a schooling fish, will the 2 I have left be okay together, or should I get a couple more? I don't want unhappy fish!

That's what I thought too, but I'm just trying to rule things out of the problem!! What kind of thing would I look for in the waste?

Well I suppose all I can do is try to soak the pellets first, see what happens with my other 2 barbs. Not sure what else could cause that, especially since they were perfectly fine when I shut the light off. I watch the ammonia levels and other levels regularly, and I do weekly water changes, so...

no, I only put in a few, for that very reason actually, used to put alot more then i do now and it would make a mess! they get eaten right away, if its not the barbs then its the cichlids, if its not the cichlids its the syno's

my thoery on it is, when i put the shrimp pellets in, they gobble them up like there is no tomorrow, before they even soak up any water and expand. so if they eat lots and THEN they expand in the stomach because of the water that it bloats them because they have too much in their tummy. I'm...

nah he's already dead, just trying to figure out what happened cuz we lost another one recently, minus the bloated tummy. they are in a 90 gallon tank with african cichlids, we feed them fish flakes, pellets, shrimp pellets, and algae wafers. the scales were fine on the first one that died...

He was fine when i shut the light off, when I woke up, he was bloated and upside down!

I already said why, I don't have much to choose from here. and I dont want to travel to get fish, or order them online. I guess Ill just try them anyways My town isnt even on that list even tho I have 3 pet stores. If you lived where I lived you'd understand

Does that happen even with large numbers of the same species(or each species). like auratus for example

I am looking to stock a 4 foot 90 gallon tank. It has yet to be set up. But I want to get a head start on figuring out what to put into it. I am definately going with mbuna. The fish that I am thinking of putting in it are: auratus redzebra albino socolofi and the kenyi cichlid possibley the...

African Lake Malawi cichlids. Mbuna to be exact Thank you CFC, that helps alot. Much appreciated!

Would I need to put one on either end, or does it really matter

What is the best way to heat a 90 gallon tank???

Alright, I have a 90 gallon tank yet to be set up (don't have a stand yet). So I thought now would be a good time to find out about the filtration It's going to have african cichlids, I dont know what kind yet.. but it WILL be over stocked by the slightest. So my question is, can I get away...

Neither did I. I just thought she had a deformity

How short is short term though??? When will you know its completely gone, when it looks normal? Or do you have to treat it for a bit longer after it looks like its gone?

she's about 3 inches, maybe a little larger. Thanks for the help!

alright, and would she be okay in a 5 gallon while i treat her? I dont want to treat a big tank, as its not cheap, and the other fish dont need it.

Well, its been like that for quite some time now, about 4 months ago, when I got her from a friend, it already looked like that My water is fine I test fairly regularly. And I'm pretty sure she's the one that bully's not the one who gets bullied. I have Melafix, it says it treats pop-eye, but...

I managed to get some pictures. I took a bunch of the eye I'm concerned about, and one of the other eye. They look the same. It looks like there is nothing wrong but I want to be sure I couldn't figure out how to make them bigger so hopefully these are okay. If it is only a deformity, is it...

WOuld it be something I need to be worried about?

nevermind then, got no pic

Nevermine. She died yesterday.

My kribensis in the last day has been behaving strangely. He used to be out and about swimming all the time. Now he is laying on the ground in one spot for all of today. When I tried to get him to swim, he swam around all wobbley like, almost off balance. All my other fish are fine, I have...

I have a female zebra obliquiden, for just over 2 months. As she's growing, she has developed an eye that sticks out way further then the other eye. It looks perfectly normal, not funny colors, or funny shapes, it looks like an eye looks. it just sticks out.. Is this a health issue or just a...

his tail is completely useless, the tank is a 25 gallon i just put him and the molly into a 10 gallon, and there is tetras, 2 danios 2 other platies and SAE

this is the best i could get I have put him and the other fish into a different tank lastnight, the balloon molly is looking a little better, but that guy in the picture is not going to make it

alright thank you. I will do a water change

2 of my fishes, a platy and a balloon molly cannot swim well. Both of there tails seem to have tightened..or something like that. They look like they cannot spread them out. Their tails are not flowing liek they usually are.. I dontknow how else to explain it. Does anyone know what this might be?

Alright thanks. I just dont want to end up spending 30 dollars on a pleco and then have it die on me because of this theory. Alot of the plecos I have seen, are fairly young/small still. Thanks for your replys.

someone mentioned that it is better to buy pleco's at an older age because the younger ones are more prone to dieing, is this true?

uh yeah

does anyone know of a site with profiles of all the different types of plecostomus? I cant seem to find one. Thanks!

I saw a fish in the store today labled as Angel Ram Cichlid. I cannot find anything on the internet about these fish. Is the name incorrect, is there a proper name for them? They looked like blue rams, but rounder bodies like angel fish and longer fins. I wanted to research them before I bought...

i have 2 congos in a 55 gallon and plenty of plants, i have not seen them touch the plants

What kind of fish is this?? I have been told it is a flyingfox by some, and a siamese algae eaters by others.
