My cousin is getting rid of all of his chichlids because he wants to keep a great variety of fish. He has a full grown convict that is atleast 2 years old. In my main tank I have a 5 inch Oscar, a 8 inch Severum, 3 silver dollars and two kissing fish; the kissing fish are kind of small. Non of...

Hey, I was wondering if it is necessary to run an airpump when I am running a canister filter. My air pump makes a lot of noise and it would be great if the air from the filter would be enough.

Yeah, I am just going to leave him in this tank. He finally just came out and started swimming. Well Swimming some. Do the like being in a lit tank?? Would it bother him if I left his light on all night?

Hey I got a Betta today and I have him in alone in a 10 gallon tank. I was wondering what would happen if I put him in my 55 gallon tank with my bigger fish. I have a Green Severum Cichlid, Kissing Fish, Silver Dollars, Snake Skin Gourami, a DoJo, and a Parrot Fish in it. I dont feed my fish...

Gold Severums are 24.99 where I live at. No he don't look fat. You better watch that elephant nose because he will jump out of the tank.

A frequent change in water conditions is what causes TB. Like if you dont clean your tank for 2 months and then totally take it down then that is what will cause TB. So the Clean water is what does it. Like going from Dirty water straight to crystal clean water. I would keep all of the fish with...

I think a betta is way to small to eat krill. Krill is what you feed big Fish like Cichlids.

You cant really treat it. Put Epson Salt in, one tea spoon per 5 gallons, and hope he can recover. Usally when you notice a fish with dropsy it is way to late to save them. The Epson Salt may take some of the swelling down.

Hey I got a Betta today and I have him in alone in a 10 gallon tank. I was wondering what would happen if I put him in my 55 gallon tank with my bigger fish. I have a Green Severum Cichlid, Kissing Fish, Silver Dollars, Snake Skin Gourami, a DoJo, and a Parrot Fish in it. I dont feed my fish...

I think it is worse than dropsy. I think your fish had Tuberculosis. Dropsy can't be spread from fish to fish. The reason your other fish got it is because lets say you got some of the water on your hand when you took the dead fish out. Well lets say you used the same hand to put the fish food...

I had a Red Ear Slider and another turtle. I dont know the name of the other one because my friend found him in a trailer and the owner just left him there. I would say they need a 29 gallon tank. I had mine in another 55 gallon but the tank started leaking. They get pretty big. They got so big...

One male. I have a 55 gallon tank but the fish may be to agressive to put him in with them. The filter I have running is for a 55 gallon tank. I used to have turtles in this tank and the big filter kept it cleaner.

Hey, I know the tank is big enough but I am worried about the current for the fish. I am using a big filter and I am wondering if it will give off to much current for the fish. I took a picture of the current the tank gives off. Also, if I didnt use a filter would a 30% water change once a week...

I use 82 degrees Fahrenheit. I am going to bump it back down to 81 probally. Also post what fish you have. Severum Parrot Fish Silver Dollars Snake SKin Gourami Kissing Fish.

I think we are talking about different salt. I use Great Value salt that I get from Wal Mart. The salt does not contain Iodide and from what I have been told by many people is that most fish can use this type of salt. I had Corys and I used this same type of salt and they lived for 4 years. I...

Hey guys, I uploaded a video of my aquarium to youtube. The video quality isnt great because I took the movie with a digital camera instead of a camcorder. I had gravel back when I took this movie and I recently converted over to sand. I am going to take another video, within a week, of how much...

That is one sexy fish. I have a green severum about that size and his color changes based on his mood. How old is your fish?

I use Silica Sand. My dad uses it for sand blasting and it works well. The waste does sit on the top of the sand but it is easy to clean. You can use a gravel vacume and get right on top of the sand and it want get sucked up. This sand is a tan color.

What type of glue is safe to use? My mom has a hot glue gun and I thought about glueing some rocks to somthing.

LOL I feed them Krill also so they would have a hay day with ghost shrimp. You can get a DoJo and he will survive with more agressive fish. The only thing is that I never see mine doing anything usefull in the tank. They are fun to watch if you have sand though. They will dig in it and burry...

Well it depends on how agressive you want your fish. If you want an easy setup then I would get one Severum and Four Silver Dollars. Silver Dollars can go with just about any type of fish you want, well minus neon tetras and stuff like that, and Severums are not that agressive at all.

Yeah I looked at the Crabs at the petstore and they had them all the way underwater. They was in a 20 gallon looking tank and it was filled all the way up. I didnt get one because I really dont feel like doing extra care just for him. I like the way clown loachs look. Do you think they will...

How big is your Clown Loach? I am thinking about getting one but I don't know to much about them. Are they agressive and do they eat fish?

I have a Severum and a Parrot. Both of them are decent in size.

Your fish could have Ick. Ick is as commen on fish as ticks are on dogs ( you just cant see them.) When your fish bumps up against stuff it is that they are trying to get relief from the Ick eating on them. I am not posative about this but it sounds like that is your problem. You can raise your...

30 gallons is big enough. I have mine in a 55 gallon and he could fit into a 30 gallon if he was alone. I have had mine for 2 years and he is 6 inches. Is your 30 Gallon tall or long?

Yeah I have decided to not put one of them in. I looked at them at the petstore and they was missing claws and everything else. Do you think my Cichlids would eat the shrimp??

They only get to 7 inches according to elmars. I am pretty sure they can get to a foot long in a big enough tank. I have already told you that the Corys did not do their job. I kept my Corys alive for many years so I must know how to keep them. Their life tops out at 3-5 and I kept mine close...

I used to have corys and they didnt do their job. It is not food at the bottom it is poop. Catfish DO eat your fish. Just wait till they get bigger. I had a Pleco that destroyed my Angel Fish. I know it was him because I saw him leach onto their body. I had other types of catfish that ate fish...

Yeah I am looking for a good scavenger. I dont want any catfish because they EAT fish. I cant use any Ghost Shrimp because my Severum would probally eat it. I am going to the Pet Store tomorrow and I may get somthing called a Clown Loach. Do you know anything about them??

I have in 1 Parrot fish. He isnt really big yet but he is 6 inches. I have in a Green Severum and he is around 7 inches. I have 4 Silver Dollars and they are about the roundness of a Coffe Cup. I have two smaller kissing fish at 4 inches. And a DoJo Loach (spelling). My only concern is that he...

Does anybody know of a good scavenger that is not ugly that want eat your fish? I thought about putting in a Fiddler Crab but I dont know if they will bother my fish.

1: I put 11 table spoons of salt into my tank. 2: I have read where you can keep them with mollies 3: I am going to put plants around the glass so they can climb it.

Hey this is my Parrot, it is around 5-6 inches now. I am wondering if these fish get any bigger?? I have had him for around a year and a half and he is in a 55 gallon tank.

Hey would this be a good setup for a Fiddler Crab?? I am getting them because I heard they are great scavengers. I have the glass containers really sturdy and they will not fall. I will put somthing on top of the container so they will be able to be fully out of the water. I am wondering if the...

I kept Corys in salt for over 3 years. They finally died of old age. Now the salt I use is salt without iodide in it.

The Severum is around 6 inches long. I havent even had him a year yet. My Parrot is around 5 inches. My Silver Dollars are OLD. They are about the roundness of a coffe cup, one is alittle bigger. The two kissers are very small. I have had them for 3 years and they are still only 4 inches. The...

75 Gallons. All of the fish now have plenty of room to swim. I am going to upgrade to a tank alittle bigger later also. I have thought about adding some Rams in. I read where they can go with pretty much anything. Somthing else, have you ever kept a fiddler crab?? They have them petsmart for $3...

I had a Snake Skin Gourami with the same problem. Does the fishes eyes look bigger than normal??? I can tell you that you need to take the fish out of the tank and maybe put him in a hospital tank. The reason being is that the case is probally DROPSY or it could be Fish Tuberculosis. Dropsy is...

I have 4 Silver Dollars, 2 Kissing Fish, a SnakeSkin Gourami, Green Severum, Parrot Cichlid, and a DoJo. I have room for one more fish. I was wondering what type of different cichlid woudl go with these fish. I dont want to get one to agressive but I would like him to be decent in size. I would...
