Thanks for info, I'll keep that in mind, just one question. Do females pelvic and anal fins turn black?? sord of like this one : http://www.aquaticconcepts.com/images/yellow%20lab.jpg (this is not a pic of mine but the fins are sort of black like this)

I use lava rock but am trying to switch to a rock pile of some sort. Also sand looks great for substrate.

Just a quick question: In that link Rick, It shows 4 different yellow labs, 1 is albino, 1 has white belly, and 2 seem to be identicle. What is the difference between these two: http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=1669 http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=713...

Sorry no pics I have a hard time taking good pics of tanks even after reading posts about it. You can't accurately find the genders until they are mature. I have heard of conspecific aggression and I try not to get fish with colouring too close to the same. So what your saying is try to get...

Yes, you should be fine with box then.

Go for the real tank!! Then you don't have to worry about ammonia once its cycled it also depends what fish you are quarantining. I know what u mean about small budget- I have the same problem

What I thought royal grammas would do fine?!?!? I have been told more than 2 times on this forum that royal grammas would do fine and that list probably isn't good cause it says oscellaris clowns are fine I do want some real fish!! Don't want gobys!! The only fish I really like on that list...

That's about 18-20 gallons and what kind of fish do you like then you can get advice from there

What is coraline algae and what does it do? What is aquascaping? Should I do aqua scaping? and for the stocking on a 10 gallon (not ready to be stocked yet but looking ahead) what would you recommend? I want a royal gramma for sure and maybe a cardinal fish? what is good affordable...

I was thinking maybe a blue ahli?

Thanks for that OOHHHH kj lol thought it was someone else cause you changed pics that'll be good for cuc at least also in terms of fish sttocking eventually could i get 1 royal gramma 1 cardinal fish and one other fish i forget sorry gtg

Find some species you like then ask about them because with a good sized tank like that there are a lot of species you can fit. Do you have any powerheads? the tank should have at least 10 times turn over per hour on powerheads.

Is there a special ebay or something for fish you know like there is ebay motors? I have a hard time finding live fish for sale there

You are looking at SA and CA obviously but if you want colourful cichlids africans are a lot better. Not sure about EB JD.

I found 3-4 years online

bump also what is a good online store to buy marine fish and cuc from that has reasonable costs and ships to north america

not sure about ammonia and nitrite and nitrate and ph but the salinity is like 1.022-1.023 right now. Sorry, haven't gotten test kit yet cause I find very costly, is my cuc and stocking fine?

Ya, what kind of budget are you looking at and what type of fish are you looking at?

Not sure if this is right but to see if the tank was ready after sitting for 2-3 weeks with live rock in it I went and got a yellow tail damsel. They had it listed as yellow tail damsel but I am not sure of another name for it because it is a whitish colour with a yellow tail. not a blue body...

Would you recommend a pair of bristlenoses or just one?? As soon as the bns are introduced will cichlids attack them? Oh, and just wondering why bristle noses are better than any other plecs for mbuna tanks. My lfs isn't the best for algae eaters so I will try and get what I find, besides I...

Its when you pick up the fish and look at its anus to determine the gender. Someone on here will give you a link to a detailed description. I just forget the link. For your tank I would recommend 1-2 bristle nose plecs. Either that or 3-4 chinese algae eaters, but be warned when these...

Surprised ur cray didn't get eaten by oscars. My friends cray got eaten by his oscars.

thanks, may be going to lfs soon for algae eaters soon, don't have any in any of my tanks. Glass is starting to turn green.

When I got him I sord of forget but probably kenyi and yellow lab where the ones picking on him. Since he has become crazy dominant the electric blue, even though being a lot smaller has still been able to chase him occassionally, but the elec is starting to lose this feature.

Ya lol ur right kj. But the pseudo acei are still very gentle. And the Metriaclima aurora male waas getting picked on and hiding in the corner until I rearranged the tank a day or two after I got him cause I felt sorry for him. Then he turned into the little terror he is today. I might try...

Yes, angelfish can be aggressive. I would never put a pair of africans and americans together. It has worked in some cases with very large tanks but I wouldn't recommend it. What size tank do you have? A lot of africans and americans need big tanks a also, what are the dimensions

i have a male pseudo tropheus aurora. He owns half the tank!! He chases away anyone on his half. Is there any way to stop this?? Add more rock? I do have a reasonable amount of rock but I would sord of like to do one of those big rock piles.

You may still have problems with malawi killing each other. Ideally mbuna need 4 ft tank.

Royal gramma White cheek tang Oscellaris clown

I did a cycle w/fish. I did take a water sample in after it had cycled for 3.5-4 weeks they said it was good. The tank has been running (including the cycle) for about 2.5-3 months. Just figured out this mornin that the tank is at 84-85 degrees! Maybe this is the problem, and we all have to...

Haven't gotten more live rock yet but, I did so happen to stumble upon a water pump at garage sale. I just figured out this is a united pump ap 85 water pump meant for fountains, I asked how much they wanted for and person said 50 cents!! So now instead of having my home made pump I am using...

I think on my bottle it says it doesn't matter if you use to much, although maybe it means to a certain extent as in, don't dump the whole bottle in.

Because with bettas they usually don't have a filter anyways you can just do a fish cycle as your water will already have ammonia and it won't make a diffference. About water changes: you can do water changes with it running or without it, so long as once the filter has cycled it stays wet, and...

Is it possibly a powerhead? I wouldn't recommend for bettas

Okay, 65 gallon mbuna tank 3 yellow labs 2 pseudo acei 1 kenyi 1 electric blue maingano 2 pseudo aurora 1 cherry red zebra Don't believe there is excess mucas on fish. I don't know the water stats because I don't have a test kit due to very high prices. As I said above, I did a 25% water...

Honestly 5 gallons isn't a lot of room so your choices are limited. Maybe a guppy?

I haven't seen any of the above, but for the last few days I have also noticed they just all seem to sit in one spot and do nothing. Why wouldn't they be swimming around like normal? I did a 25% water change yesterday and added water conditioner. No help.

Malawis are usually fin nippers, yes. I would watch to see for any serious nips, also make sure the clown loaches aren't getting beaten up.

Could you post more pictures?

I like them both but the second IMO is a bit better
