where do u guys buy your discus from? im getting a 120gallon tank in about 6 weeks time and im after a bunch at reasonable prices.

i returned my kribs and picked up the remaining 3 agassizi's my lfs had to go into my current tank, there pretty small, there bodies are hardly bigger than an inch, the shop owner had difficoulty sexing them and i cant quite figure it out either. He said there was defo 1 male and 1 female but...

i may take a look at the keyholes aswell, ima return my kribensis and get sum sum apistos, i was thinking 4 aggassizis, 4 rams, and 4 cockatoos. I dont no if 2 keyholes would fit into my tank tho so will jsut take my time filling it up.

oh sorry one more, german blue rams, can they be kept in groups, and the bolivians can the groups be mixed or is it 2/2 ratios or 1male 3 females?

k thanks alot for your help mate.

ok cool, but should i stick away from breeding pairs, should i follow a certain ratio?

but if i remove the kribs, can i mix all apistos and rams together?

i like the kribs and would love to keep them, but ive read and been told i couldnt really have any others with them maybe some keyholes. I like the look of appistos, rams and the cockatoo cichlid aswell. I wasnt sure if i could mix these together better or wot i could have with them. i thought...

its a 4x2x2 comes out as 120 gallons on here, all i have is 2 kribs 2 britlesnose and an armoured rock shrimp. looking for ideas i love these little fellas

was thinking apistos, i got 2 kribs atm, but its limiting what i can put with them so if i can have a mix of apistos, rams then maybe i will change over. I have ordered a 120gallon tank arriving in about 7 weeks time.

well i guess title says it all, can i have more than 1 different type of dwarf cichld

the disease i thought it was is cotton mouth which was also being called columnaris My lfs was closed by the time i finished work and my mate had some of that which was the best i could find, all i can think of is that my tank water is 1 inch lower than normal that combined wit my subrate would...

i took a bunch of fish back yesterday and left myself with 2 bristlenose 2 kribs some neons armoured rock shrimp it was very hard catching the fish i took back and therefor i removed everything in my tank (plants wood caves) just so i could catch them. i came home chucked a bunch of plants...

yer i have jsut ordered the tank its an 8 week wait, i wouldnt add to my smaller one, ill take a look at the fish u listed, im going to have a bunch of plants and read that the firemouth likes to dig, i know most cichlids do so ill take a look and see whats less likely to.

i guess i can keep some of the offspring if i get to that stage. Ive ordered a 100g tank due in around 8 weeks time so may see wot happens if they have babies. will brother and sister mate? and if so will the offspring be fine?

i was under the impression u couldnt have rams with and of the dwarf cichlods, do yours get on well? i wouldnt want to remove my kribs

I have a pair of kribensis and i love them, i would love some other dwarf cichlids or even slightly bigger but nothing more than 6inches. Is there any others that i can have?

maybe she was just doing it as they were new in the tank. There still doing the same thing for the past 3-4 days now jsut going round shaking and looking at caves. can i have more than 2 kribensis in my tank? or once paired they will just fight everything else?

sorry havent updated faster, 2 days ago i came home from work and the male had a slight red belly aswell. I went to the lfs and bought 2 more caves for them so i now have 3. They are both together 90% of the time with no fighting and constant shaking at each other. They keep going around the 3...

im looking at a 4x2x2 tank from ND Aquatics, its about extra £30 for optiwhite glass, i wonder is it worth it anyone got a tank with it and woud u reccomend it?

Ive loved the look of Kribensis for ages and finally decided to get myself a pair. They have been in 2 days and the female is chasing the male, The female is slightly bigger and looks desperate to mate, she is bright purple and electric yellow. She curls up and shakes by the male but alot of the...

could we grab a few pics please, i have a friend who maybe interested in starting a tank.

i sit and look at my tank everynight while watching tv, i often sit up close to it checking all my fish making sure there ok or not ill, but sumtimes i swear it gets to the point where ur checking so much you start thinking your fish have something wrong with them when in fact there perfectly...

the one with the black mouth has jsut died :(. the other fish in there look fine, my medicine said to add some more on the 4th and then a water change on the 7th so i guess i carry on and do that. Once thats complete shall i add the wormer you recoomended? is it a good idea to use the wormer on...

my water stats are still the same as when i done it a few days ago which i put on the previous page. Ive only been keeping fish for about 4 months now and never lots any fish untill i bought 6 female guppys. A day after getting them i could tell 1 had swim bladder and she died. 2 days later...

the fish are behaving abit more normal except one, i cant remember if he had it before i dont think he did but his lips are black and the others arnt.. hopefully this medicine fixes them. They all feed happily which i guess is a good sign.

have no fry, and treated the whole tank, there was sum white looking poo in the corner of the tank. the poo i did see was ait red but that was after eating blood worm, maybe it didnt digest properly. ive not visible seen any parasites.

sorry one last question, they are pregnant, will this kill the babies, if there is an internal parasite problem would that have killed them anyway?

4 months, i jsut cant see a date anywhere on the box or the bottle :S

mmmmm i cant see a date on the meds and as i didnt buy it and was given it ill wait untilll tomroo when i can also buy an airstone for it

does it kill the bacteria in my filter and stick me back to square one? i have some here and it says jsut mix it up and make sure the carbon pad is not in the filter, anything else i need to do?

Im soon to be upgrading my tank and im interested in Discus. My friend had 3 but 2 died and hes left with jsut one of them. I read there better in a shoal but there a pretty pricey fish, so are they worth it?

its a 65liter tank, i bought it wednesday, it has an internal filter which is stocked up with media and sponges from my external filters thats been going for months. The sand i sucked out of my big tank and half the water i took from it also. The other half i filled with RO water. stats ph -...

the remaining 4 females from the batch of 6 that i bought i moved to a new tank i set up. They seem very lethagic and either rest at the top under sum floating plants or under sum bogwood rarely swimming about. They dont appear sick, the only signs i can see is perhaps slightly pinkish in the...

ur picture looks amazing.

well im now left with 5 males and 4 females with is obviously a disaster :S

all my female fish have a dark gravid spot and a few look pretty big, but as i have only had them for about a week i dont no how far gone they are. Some look big but none have squared off so i havent done anything to it. it appeared as tho it was more like she exploded open not a clean cut, but...

came home from work and she was floating at the top it looked as thoughher chest was ripped open. i recently got her about a week ago with 6 other females, another died it had swim bladder to start with. They all have a gravid spot and some look really fat. I check them carefully to see if they...

today it looks like there is less bubbles in the nest, he is still around it and guarding it. I havent seen him add any bubbles to it mabe he has given up. Does the female always have eggs? if not is it possible to tell if she is carrying or not?

ok so about 2 days ago my male started building his bubble nest, he has been adding alot of bubbles to it today aswell. Most of the time he spends flaring up at the female, or flaring up under his nest. He seems to go out and look for the female but ends up jsut chasing her about, is she not...
