I need some help!!!!! So I went to the LFS and added 4 new cichlids in tonight. The problem is that my cobalt blue which was one of the first fish in there has been very aggressive for the past 2 hours and has not stopped chasing everyone around, causing much stress. All of the other fish are...

Hey Guys, Quick question on adding new fish.... I have a 55 gallon tank setup pretty nicely and have had it running for quite a few weeks now, went through the cycle and whatnot. About 6 days ago I added 3 new fish; a red zebra, cobalt blue, and a yellow lab- all of which are pretty nicely...

Thanks for the feedback! Like I said definitely looking to stock strictly mbuna since I will have a tank similar to their habitat. I'm not really too sure what kind yet I'm definitely open to suggestions. I want to have a colorful setup that will look nice against the rock and with fish that...

Hi all, So I am fairly new to keeping african cichlids and would appreciate some tips and if I'm going in the right direction or not. I am starting over with a brand new setup- a 55 gallon that will keep a mbuna only species tank. For my filtration I have gone with a Marineland C360 and a...

I'm in NJ right outside of the city. I actually ended up finding a nice setup on craigslist after doing much looking and having a little luck. Ended up with a used stand/canopy/55 gallon /light +light strip for $100! Happy with my find, I needed to put a little bit of work into the wood stand...

Anyone care to weigh in?

Hey guys, So I am purchasing a used tank and with it is coming a fluval 305. I have no experience with canister filters as I've always been accustomed to HOB's. Do I need to buy all new filter media to be safe/ is this an option? Or does anyone have a proven safe way to make sure this filter...

Are these places online are do you shop around your LFS?

Also does anyone know approximately how many pounds of rock it would take to sufficiently fill a 55-65 gallon tank? Want to fill it with dead live rock

Hey everyone, So I am considering venturing into the world of goldfish. I have a multiple years experience keeping various type of tropical fish but I am considering switching to goldfish. I live away from home for most of the year now and will have my family taking care of the tank which is a...

Hello all, I have two quick questions that I have been wondering about...could you keep a strictly species pleco tank without any problems at all? Also, I have a spare 10 gallon tank around and I was wondering if I were to get a dwarf species of the pleco which only grew around 5inches, would...

thanks for all the suggestions guys :good:

yea thanks for the info. ive kept angels in a tank like this- it was about 3 of them and they seemed to do fine but they do get too large for the tank. thanks for the referall ill check out that info. :good:

yea i was thinking the same thing. i was just curious as to what some people would say. my intentions as of right now are to put some angels in with a bristlenose pleco but i havent decided on the middle dwellers yet. i wanted to school some type of fish but not sure what. thanks for the reply

very nice tank by the way, and i would go with discus in that tank as well. the only thing is that i wouldnt keep discus in with any angels. ive heard that angels carry a parasite and putting discus in might be taking a risk, but other than that, well done!

Hello all. Just a question out of curiosity, what would be the biggest fish that one could put in a 35 gallon aquarium who would live peacefully by himself. (the tank is a tall hexagon). Thanks :good:

the tank is tall, and ive kept angels and cichlids in this type of tank successfully. I was wondering whats the biggest fish that would live peacfully by itself in this type of tank. Thanks for the response! :good:

I have 35gallon hexagon aquarium currently not in use. Just out of curiosity, i wanted to know whats the biggest fish that you could put into this tank that would live peacefully by itself without any other tank mates. If you had this option, what would you put in? Just a thought :rolleyes:

k thanks for the info! :good:

thanks for the response, i have kept angels in the past in this type of tank and they seemed to do fine. as far as the red tails go im aware of only 1 per tank. thanks for the information though!

i have a 35 gallon hex tank. i plan on putting in some angelfish, bristlenose pleco, redtail shark, and maybe some tetras of some sort. not sure yet however. is there any type of invertebrate or other type of critter that you could reccommend for my tank to add some uniqueness to it. also what...

i would look into a uromastyx- not sure if its spelled right. these are fairly easy to keep if your willing to put a little care into them. i had one once but had to give it away for certain reasons(none to do with the lizard) it has a spiny tail and the head of a bearded dragon. i think they...

thanks for the help guys...i figured that would be fine i just didnt know if the small plec would attach to the angels. i have a tall tank so the angels would stay on top and the pleco on the bottom but i was wondering what to do for the middle of the tank...i wanted soemthing active but not...
