there's a web-site called cichlid-forum.com Put the word "venting" in the search box and it will tell you how to sex them. Kepp in mind you should have 2 females for every 1 male

It may sound harsh, but get a crate. Get it so that they have enough room to stand up, turn around, and lay down with all their legs spread out. DO NOT GET IT TOO BIG!! leave the puppy in the crate unless she is right with you. Take her outside on a regular basis. When she goes give her three...

auratuses are very aggresive and in that small of a tank they may be more aggresive than usual. You really do need a big tank and over-stocking a small tank will just add to the problems

I agree. The males are the talkers. And with the type you have (a gray) the males get a yellow face with bright orange cheeks and the females have a greay face with dull orange cheeks.

All Tortioses require a lot of space. I have no idea which is the easiest or the cheapest. We got ours from a reptile show for about $50. The problem with them is figuring out what you will do with them when they get really big, or when they out-live you. They can live outside in warmer climates...

:o I am having the same problem with a pair of red zebras and a pair of kenyis. The Red Zebras have had 2 batches since September and she's holding AGAIN!! I have about 50 babies in my tank.

You could start with the basics. Red Zebras or Kenyis. I would stay away from auratuses. They tend to be kinda aggresive

The thing is is that niether had any visible signs on them. It's almost like they got depressed....I have no idea!

I've got 4 red zebras, 3 kenyis, 4 ice blue zebras, 3 acei, 2 red-finned albino zebras, 2 bumblebees, 1 snow-white socolofi, 3 auratuses, 1 peacock, 2 victorian haps, 2 malawi chrysomatus (i may have miss-spelled that), a foot-long leporinus, a foot-long pleco (sail-fin), and 2 clown loaches...

I had a 29 gallon tank to start off a cichlid tank. I put in 3 tenny tiny babies in there, including a venustus. They grew big and a year later I put them in a 55. I added a few more fish and then a month later I moved them to a 150. Through all the tank changes I used all of the old water from...

If you put a statue of a blue heron near your pond it also deters them. I had a Heron come and eat all but 2 of my fish (including one of my original koi!! :crazy: :X I will make sure that it NEVER happens again!

your wide-mouthed sucker looks like a rubber-lipped pleco I may try to put a puffer in the tank after re-arranging it a bit.....But i will have an extra tank on hand, just in case!

George basically has free roam of my basement. It's too cold to put him outside and he's not huge yet. He has a house with a light and what-not on it. We feed him all kinds of veggies and sometimes the occasional fruit (fruits have a lot of acid and aren't very good for him). The only things we...

Would they do well in a small tank, say 2 gallons if I just had one?

Hey all, I'm new to the site, but not to fish. I've had fishtanks since i was really little and currently have 5, plus a pond. I look forward to meeting some of

My rats LOVE socks! If you leave a pair (even rolled up) close to their cage, they have it inside in notime! We use all the socks with no mate for our rats

I have an African-Spur Tortiose. His name is George and he weighs about 15-20 lbs and is about 8/9 years old.

I have a 29 gallon tank with 2 pink kisser gouramis and 2 blue paradise gouramis (have semi-long fins). There are a few plants and some roman columns for decorations. It has a river rock bed. I was wondering if I could put a dwarf puffer in there with them. My only concern was that the puffer...
