haha its called noodling

But im just saying, an alternative way to filter a tank. Just had an idea reading the abilities of water hyacinth

Is it possible to have a tank with a sump, using a high wattage bulbs for plants growth, using the water hyacinth to filter out your water of ammonium, nitrates, nitrates and other unwanted wastes. I understand that they will need to culled and removed on regular basis because they grow so fast...

post in New World cichlids, defiantly not african

I was just wondering, i guess the 7.8-8.0 pH will be considered an extreme. what about a 30g long, its 3ft long by 1ft wide by 18 inches tall. I understand Senegals need the room because of there activeness. I used to have one in a standard 29 gallon till he got caught in the filter because my...

could a Senegal Bichir be kept comfortable in a 55 gallon with African Cichlids? My only concern is honest the ph, the Senegal has the protection from the africans, and this tank wont be stocked with very aggressive africans, just Red Empress, Acei, yellow Labs, dimidochromis compressiceps, and...

Are the dimesions 4'x2'x18"? I live in the US so we don't have certain aquarium names, just the US gallon size and whether its a tall or wide or breeder.

This guy made a DIY background outta styrofoam and cement sand mix

How big is your tank?

the kennyi can change sex if im not mistaken, so if thats the case then the must be switching sex

IT's bad bc after looking through and searching i have so many possibilities beside just an all male peacock tank, all I know is for a fact I'm keeping my Compressicep Male and Red Empress male

Hello all, about 2-3 weeks ago i set up an African cichlid tank. I've never tried them before and thought it would be something fun to start, I knew all the basics, lot of rock work, coral or argonite sand/gravel, high ph, more fish = less aggression. And all is going well in all 6 of my fish. I...

Where abouts in north georgia, my grandmother lives up there, I live in mobile, and i might be able to go up there about thanksgiving time. She lives in elijay

Angels prefer to be in groups too, and your angel doesn't look to be a Scarlare, looks like a Leopoldi actually

Saying that my plecos get along fine, I have both species living compatibly in the same tank, they are fairly young with all of them pushing 2 inches.

Its not good to mix to EBJDs together, you need in stead an EBJD and a JD with the blue gene to make EBJDs. the genetics are sketchy, and if crossed straight EBJD to EBJD, will most likely result in some very fragile, deformed JDs

What are they, look like huge Keyholes IMO

Impossible, one lives in the amazon, one is Africa, way to far apart, 2 completely different cichlids

I have a 55 gallon, with 2x BN, 2x clown plecos, and 1x bulldog pleco They all get along fine, the BNs are always out, clowns will snuff around in the plants, and the bulldog is rarely seen

Another good way to cull fry is feed the fry you notice early on before they are too big, feed to another fish, it is nature so no guilt about it. I know a fish tank isn't nature but if they had fry in tank with other fish, same scenario

would the sudden temperature change just stress him more?

now they are $20 at same LFS, prices do range very much

Well, they ran out of Rams before I got there, but I did get 4 angels, 2 clown plecos, and 10 emperor Tetras. I guess I'm gonna just go with getting more tetras. My money has now been dwindled down to 3 dollars

Are you looking into central american, south american, or African Cichlids? if your going raise your ph, go for Africans (Old World Cichlids)

I have 4 beautiful angels, 2 are silver with light brown stripes, on long fin, and 2 marbled angels, both males for a fact, on long fin, black and white marbled, other bigger in body mass, and grey and white marbled. These fish are already active and being the center of the tank, They 10 Emperor...

So I went today, walked in with $190, walked out with $57. Most of it went to plants. I got some amazing swords, lot of crypts, 2 anubias that were A LOT bigger than expected. one poor bunch of cambomba, and a great bunch of cambomba. 2 bunches of wisteria set in the sunny corner so these should...

So I just went up to the LFS and got a 300W heater to raise my temperature to 80 because I've decided on a final stock, I have no idea of my hardness, but my Ph is 6.4. I'm getting alot of crypts, couple swords, 2x anubias, 2 bunches of cambomba, and 2 bunches of wisteria. Planned stocking for...

No, these fish aren't like what I usually see, I do believe my LFS has switched to a different supplier, because now they have many different Rasboras, brackish fish, rainbows, tetras like Emperors and Penguins, and etc. Fish are very colorful and active, rams especially.

Ok, ones at LFS look very healthy and full, and all are veey colorful. They have2 EB Rams im ooking at that are very bright and active Ok, ones at LFS look very healthy and full, and all are veey colorful. They have2 EB Rams im ooking at that are very bright and active

Simple question, how hard are GBR Rams to keep and maintain. I know they need low Ph, Soft water, and discus temps.

My lfs has no other Dwarfs other than Cauctoides, rams, keyholes, and bolivians. I have a question, how hard are GBR rams? They had a couple I really like. I will still have 4 Angels, and I guess cories can live with the HRPs. Do bulldog plecs, BNs, and clown plecs accept higher temps?

well, im only 15. I doubt i would be able to order fish, but I have been looking into Live Aquaria and couple other online fish suppliers

Over here in Alabama, US, my LFS has them in for $10, thats really cheap, I beive thats about 6 quid.

Thanks guys. I never expected Festivums to have a bad temperament. I really like Angels, only thing is that when I mention angels my aunt and my grandmother go "They are going to die, when I kept an angel, it killed everything and then died". But I don't care because I do believe the angel my...

just watch them, they will probably pull through bc they are very hardy fish, but remember to acclimatize more than just the temperature next time.

I'm wanting those choices for my 55 gallon, I don't know what to chose, please help me. The tank will be heavily plated, lot of rock work with caves, about a 6.8 pH Need anyother inforation, feel free to ask

that is the problem, your not acclimatizing correctly, they need to slowly have your water and their water mixed, and then pour some out in a bucket to dispose of and then repeat filling it with your water slowly. this evens out the Ph, and hardness so it not suddenly going from like 7 to 6.5...

it probaly stress, how did you introduce them into the tank? You could have a school of 8 in there, but thats about it other than a Bristlenose Pleco and ur Algae eater. Tiger barbs are very active fish

You need more tiger barbs,need to be in a school of atleast 8

Thanks wills, and I don't know if its a Sturisomas or Farowella, labeled as Farowella but don't they look the same?
