Hello all, Recently my colombian tetras started getting black marks on them, I had no idea what it was but thought nothing of it. Now one has small 'pimples' on it. I dont think its whitespot as the pimples are larger and only affecting where these marks were. My other columbian tetra has got...

Okay, I shall do more regular water changes. I bought the firmouth as a juvenile i believe. It was about 2 inchs in length but i am unsure of age. The blue acara was a juvenile when i bought it 2 years ago. The filter is one that I have used previously. The tank had been cycled for a week with...

Last time I checked, november, everything was fine, I cant remember the exact stats but noting was of alarm.

Hello all, I shall start at the very begining. Ive had my blue acara for a couple of years now and he was perfect, happily living in a 300 litre tank with my rokteil severum, 2 festivums and some different tetras. In September last year I introduced a firemouth to the tank, everything seemed...

Darn, only just seen this thread! If something happens and the fish become re availabe please give me an email on [email protected] Thanks, Danny

Yes, deffo a Blue Acara. Aggresion has died down now. I think theyve sorted it out between themselves! Thankyou for all the help!

Ive messaged you.

Is there a way in which i can reduce the aggresion of the blue acara who just seems to constantly be bothering the severum who is twice its size! The tank is 300L so there is plenty of space for the two. Currently there is only the two in the tank minus a couple of dithers. There are caves in...

Anyone??

Hi, I know this is a long shot but i dont have an ebay account to contact this seller. Does anyone know who it is and have any contact info? He is based nearby (South Shields) and was wondering if he had a shop as im not wanting to buy over ebay without seeing the fish first. Thank-you Danny

Awesome to hear that its nothing to worry about :) Thanks guys!

It just sort of swims infront of the Sev, and then points its tail down and head up as if it were walking on its caudal fin, and hovers there. If the sev moves forward, the acara moves back. I realise im not describing it well.

Sounds like a great idea! I shall keep checking up on what stock you have. Currently got an empty 70L tank which im hoping to stock soon. :) Where would i find the stock list?

Hi, Recently whilst watching my Blue Acara (3 inch) and Rokteil Sev (7 inch) i have noticed that the Blue Acara has been swimming upright infront of the Sev. There is no sign of aggresion. What is it doing? I hope this isnt a developing problem :S

Awesome, Thankyou. If i were to get a pair, would this make them more aggresive towards my cureent fish?

Would it be possible to mix Thorichthys Ellioti with a couple of severums and a blue acara?

Where in the North East keeps a good variety of S.American cichlids. Having not been to many other than Dobbies in Ponteland for many years, am just wondering what other options are available? Thankyou Danny

I know its a long shot but i am in need of a replacement lid for my regency 120 tank (300 litre). Will collect. Thanks Danny

70 litres

Hi all, I currently have a 70 litre unstocked tank which id like to stock with African Cichlids. I have very little knowledge of Africans but have stocked S.American cichlids for 3+ years. Id like to have a variety of different species but have no idea which fish or compatiblity, etc. Please...

Fish on the brain!

ok.. how many festivums could i fit in the tank? would i be able to get two? or would this make them aggresive and non-compatible would a gold severum also fit? Thankyou once again for the great advise Danny

So is there only enough space for a firemouth OR a festivum, or could i have a tank of my current fish, festivum, firemouth and bristlenose? Should i get one or two bristlenose? (or doesnt it matter) Would i be able to get some hatchetfish or silver dollars or similar too? Thankyou for the...

ok thankyou would the tank be full at that point or would there be some room for others?

My tank is 300 litres (regency 120) I am currently stocking 1 severum, 1 blue acara, 2 black widow tetras. I am planning on adding a firemouth, a ram, a festivum, a couple of keyholes and a bristlenose cat. Is my tank big enough?!

how can i make my fish have more enhanced in colour? Thanks Danny

Would housing only one make one less aggresive? Thanks for the replies :) keep them coming Danny

its a 300 litre tank also do firemouths have a tendancy to dig? Danny

Hi all Ive been searching the net for information on firemouths. But, the info that ive come up with varies, so, i thought id ask for some more info. I have a tank that currently consists of 1 fully grown Rokteil Sev, 1 blue acara, 1 ghost angelfish, 2 black widow tetras. So, What is the...

ok, so would i be able to get a couple of ottos to keep the algae down? then a nice catfish? what would my options be then? i quite like the catfish the the long whiskers, would any of these be compatible with my current fish and not grow too large? Thankyou Danny

Hey, although ive been on the fish scene for a long time, i have decided now to get myself a nice catfish or 2! But! my tank holds large cichlids (sevs) and im wanting to get something that they wont bully, nor shall bully it, (the sevs are very gentle and have had no problem with them) The...

Hey, I Have a 300 litre tank which currently holds 1 Rokteil Secerum 7", 1 blue acara 3", 1 ghost angelsfish 2" and 2 black widow tetras 2". I am planning on getting 2 or 3 more angelfish. So what i am looking for is 1 catfish (up to 6") and a few more S.American Cichlids (up to 7"), so please...

Thankyou baron von bubba :) The algae is blue-green algae and i am having a total blackout of the tank for 4 days followed by a 50% water change :) Anything else i need to do? The lights are on about 8 hours a day. Cheers guys.

Hey, Simply, my tank is full of algae which is rapidly spreading! I have tryed water changes and removing it with a brush but it doesnt seem to stop it. The algae is a dark green colour which is spreading and is covering the gravel, wood and fake plants that are in the tank. It doesnt seem to be...

Hey guys! Just wondering which shops in the north east regularly stock S.American Cichlids such as sevs and blue acaras? Thanks Danny

I am wondering what fish would be good friends to a Severum in a 300 litre tank? Would i be able to keep him with fish that are roughly the size of a 50p piece (such as black widow tetras) or would it have to be kept with larger cichlids. The fish i am considering are angelfish? Silver Sharks...

Thanks guys! Whats fish friends do you advise for it? Will it eat smaller fish? I know the people who had him last kept him with silver shark. Ive been keeping him in a tank (approx 25 by 15 inchs) by himself for a few months now, Simply because the 'big' tank was full of little fish and wasnt...

http://i987.photobucket.com/albums/ae352/S...dy/DSCF0739.jpg I have inherited this fish from a friend and am wondering what it is and what it can be kept with. I believe it to be a cichlid of some sort. It is about 6 inches in length. Thanks Danny
