I have learned that if you raise your water line all the way to the very top it stops them from breeding ( I also use the cichlid treatment for all unwanted visitors!)
I also use and love my Fluval FX-5 and swear by it, to everyone that it is the very reason I dont have algae growth or nothing more then crystal clear water all the time. I also have a 403 that works really good in conjuction with two 802 Powerheads in a 135 GALLON tank, That I find amazingly...

Hello,
I have a question about ghost shrimp, I have been doing reasearch on the internet and cant seem to get this issue straight. Are Ghost Shrimp truely freshwater...
Oscars, Red Revils, Jeweled cichlids, Gold Severums, Convicts, Dwarf Loaches, Giant Gourami's, Angelfish, Parahna, Firemouth cichlids Just to name a few!
I never buy them I use creativity and make my own funky ones they are really neat.
Container(safe Plastic)
Bubbler
air stone
Drill
Im sure you can think of something!
I think they have it here in the DIY section!
Good Luck!
P.S You can also use a powerhead instead!
Hey,
Today my neighbor got a call from a woman who didnt want her fish anymore. So we went over and we got a new tank and two black and orange tetras, two rosy red barbs,two angelfish,two blackskirt tetras and a very large dwarf loach!!!! I am overjoyed I put them in my 55 Gallon community...
Well I figured as much:( Thanks so much for the help! I was afraid of this. I have to sell them off:( or get another tank to put them in.
Thanks A Million!
had to separate them, not so much fun but it is for the best. She is beaten all of one side completely I think you might be right about them both being males, Also a guy at the pet store said there's only 2 people in Canada to breed Oscars in captivity, is this true????If anyone has had sucess...
Hey Guys,
Do you know how to decipher how many gallons is in a hexogonal tank??? I just want to know before I put any fish in it so I know how many to put in it!
Thanks a million!
Hello,
I use Canister filters always for big tanks personally I run a Fluval F-X 5. I would recommend something smaller for you like a magnum 350 or something of that line! Also you can have two Oscar if you want!
And Yes canisters are hard to clean but its only once every three months as...
Soon there will be pics of all. I dont have a camera but my neighbor does and he works alot!Perhaps tonight!
P.S I love this Forum! I tell all my fish friends!
That is really too bad I Thinks its not fair to the fish that cant help themselves. I rescued two Oscars from a thirty three gallon "FishBowl" They were jumping out of the tank daily almost it wasn't anyones fault the guy just didnt know why they were doing it so I bought them from him! Now one...
Hello To All!

Hello,
I am an experianced Guppy breeder.The symtoms of your Female is normal guppy behaviour, You should have fry in a couple of days! my Suggestion is to get a fry hachery at your local pet store and a small tank (5 and a half gallon) raise your fry until they are a little more than a half...
Hey guys,
As far as I know Gold Severums are a part of blood parrots Parents, I dont know what sex of Severum though. Most hybrid fish are sterile so I you should have some luck with your male, Let us all know of the turn out!
Good Luck!!!!!!!!!
P.S That is neat about the eggs being moved...
I dont think that is possible, But it would make sense. I have observed for over a year they were "in love"(Dancing, Being territorial, Fighting and lip lock as well as rapidly changing colours which is typical for O's when they are in Breeding fashion. And her anal fins are alot shorter than...
Hey,
My Two O's used to be so friendly with each other. They would swim together and Dance all over the tank, And yeah sometimes they would lip lock and pick on each other. But lately my male has been constantly chasing, and beating on my Female and she is smaller than him I am worried...
I have a ninety Gallon I can use and I agree my Red Devil is pretty mean I cant even put a Pleco in with him he had bruised lips and he didnt stop I had him in there for 3 nights!
I have a 55G thst needs siliconed and I have never done it before. My Gold Severums need it desperatly.
I need some help with tips and/or technics to do it properly so it does not leak
Thanks a million!

We have a 55 gallon tank we just dont know if its going to leak after it has been resealed we were actually starting that today! We are going to put the severums in there and then give the frog tank a good clean and take the filter off because they do not like it, I will do water changes often...
I realize that the red devil is going to out grow his tank and we are fully prepared when he is big to spend another $1000. As for the severums they will not all last we only want one female out of six its just making sure we get one, and we are working on a 130 gallon home and breeding tank for...
Yeah his tanks are pretty bad he doesnt run proper filtration on his tanks he lossed a brackish puffer fish not to long ago from a CO2 explosion. His Convicts are on the mend still and looking ruff he wants to try getting one last batch of eggs and then youthanize them. I would try the methyl...
i have since realized and taken all the gold severum out and put them with my Frogs temporarily. And My Jeweled is by herself in a 33, I am thinking that it is sad to have one fish in a tank we have 8 species specific tanks already! So you dont think I can put anything in with her? How about a...
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone knew what type of cichlids I can put in with my Albino Jeweled. She is about 5 inches long and I have her with 6 1 inch gold severums, Not to sure how this will end up but she is very passive. We rescued her from a malawi tank and they beat her up to...
Sorry I was away! Yes it did look like that, But unfortunatly she passed away:(
Also our 16 inch albino oscar died but he was very old. We have had very terrible luck and our thinking of giving up.
Thanks so much for your help!
My female oscar from a breeding pair appears to be Exploding her Diaphram out her anus. I need help deciphering the correct analisis, It looks like a pink cloud form with little hairs sticking out. I have not done anything to provoak this terrible incident, and I fear the worst for her. Please...
I was wondering if it would be possible to breed parrot cichlids from a male red devil and a female gold severum? I am pretty sure that I will have to raise the fry my-self but not 100%. maybe it is reversed which would be a problem for me since I have 6 potential Females on there way and a 10...
Hello,
My neighbor has two convicts (Bonnie and Clyde) that have cotton mouth. We know how to treat it but the problem is we have eggs that were just laid last evening.We dont want to hurt the eggs, will it effect them??? Could cotton mouth have been caused by stress or bad water...
Hello,
We( me and my husband) have 2 very large fish to move all the way across town(small town). one 16 inch
Albino Oscar Cichlid is the real problem he gets very Closterphobic in small spaces, He trashes around in whatever you put him in. Also a 10 inch Red Devil Cichlid who is very...
