    How do bristlenose become pregnant

    Well they do... look, female makes eggs. Female looks for a cave made by male. Female likes cave. Female release eggs. Male release sperm over eggs to fertilise it. Baby are born.

    Lemon Cichlid Mystery

    Its been up there for months. No loss of appetite. No loss of coloration. It just doesn't make sense. It is unusual but it was 4 of the very first fish to be there. Only thing I can imagine is that it's a type of cichlid (since there are multiple cichlids sold as lemons) that needs others of the...

    I lost one of my fish

    That is very unfortunate. I've never personally had a fish getting stuck in my filtres but I completely understand the frustration and dejection of coming home from school to see a missing favourite fish. I also understand the parents not understanding it haha I can hear my parents saying its...

    Lemon Cichlid Mystery

    Haha nice analogy but doesn't quite fit the situation because the Lemon was one of the 4 fish to first be added and never once has it wanted to stay along the bottom. It always liked to stay at the top. All cichlids, and RTS occasionally, chase eachother sometimes but never the Lemon. (Not even...

    Lemon Cichlid Mystery

    Pleco is rather irrelevant here (Well I guess it deteriorates water condition with all the poop but I vaccum the gravel every week or so), now I bought the Red Tail shark because they are semi aggressive and are able to stand their ground (to most malawi species). Water Parameters are relatively...

    Haha i only use Instagram. BUT I must say, I've only joined today and I feel quite hooked LOL. Not sure this is good or bad but nevertheless its entertaining.

    Lemon Cichlid Mystery

    I thought that since I joined this forum, I could share this strange observation / behaviour about one of my cichlids (Lemon). I have a little journal of which I annotate any behaviour change or alteration in my cichlid's hierarchy. But this problem in question didn't quite fit the category...

    Sick Bolivian ram - sunken belly and cloudy eyes

    Mine were electric german rams indeed. Well I guess I should've bought Bolivian Rams haha. I would try makimg 50% water changes daily or every other day? Others here might suggest some medicine too or aquarium salt.

    Sick Bolivian ram - sunken belly and cloudy eyes

    Really sorry. I used to love and keep Rams but I've grown to hate keeping them (possibly due to my own lack of experience at the time) because after a few weeks they all ended up pretty much like your discription. Water parameters were all good but i still did 50% water changes. I tried raising...

    My yearly trip to petco

    And they have the audacity of self proclaim themselves as : "Pet - Friendly" 🙄🙄 Thats truly pathetic. Clear example of selective aid. If a big brand petshop was to treat dogs or cats so horribly, there'd be protestors outside and the petshop would end up closed.

    Can a purple spotted gudgeon live in a peacock/mbuna cichlid tank

    African cichlids can be quite the bullies when you are not looking. If the Gudgeon is already scared of your Peacock, then, I'm guessing, it has been chased by the Peacock at some point. It wouldn't run awau for nothing. I'd imagine the best option is to separate them, or get a considerably...

    Hello! Sometimes I find myself searching and asking questions about my aquariums on google which turns out to be, sometimes, rather unaffective. So I thought joining a forum with experienced people would be a great idea. I have 2 fish tanks. (225 litres African Cichlid Tank and a 100 litres...
