Mamaphish repeated water changes will kill planaria and so will a little salt if your fish can handle it. Planaria is caused by excess nitratre in the water . I have had experience with this problam.

Yes they do. After all they are cichlids. You dont have to wait till they get big either.

I thinl your cichlids might enjoy a little salt.

Maybe a red Empress although as stated before I cant keep yellow labs very well. they like to fight too much. Most of the time losing in the effort. :/

marineman I just saw that on the news a while back. I think it was in lansing? no. The authorities who were cleaning up the mess kept coming out and hurling all over the place.

Ok are you keeping all the other fish in a 10 gallon. I hope so since your cichlids will tear everything up. I would consider maybe a few dwarf cichlids, Most africans will not work in a 33 gallon. You might get away with a red empress or such but I cant really recommend it. The yellow labs are...

Good Luck VEry very rare.

You can powderize the pellets but I feed mine a mixture of crushed pellets , crushed Aquadine flakes and brine shrimp. They like all of these although they dont seems to like the pellts as well. But the brine shrimp how funny to watch them eat. A fry running around the tank with a brine shrimp 3...

I have had my best success with plants after cleaning the brown algae and some hearty plants I like java moss and sword plants. They consume the nitrates and leave nothing for the algae to eat so it doea not return

Ive had it happen once and I believed this to be caused by the tank being slightly uneven

Sorry Ive been away so long. Lightning knocked out my cable and internet for 2 weeks!! Comcast took thier time fixing it as well.Well now I'm back. As if anyone cares ;) I now have 75-80 Nicarauguense fry who are almost 2 weeks old!! Can I expect to see all these fry survive?? and how much do...

Ok I would have posted sooner to this discussion if I hadnt been without the internet for 2 weeks (Lightning was the culprit) Anyhow. For plecs some are carnivourous and some strictly vegitarians you need to find out what you have. If its just a common plec then blanched veggies are good but be...

?? I think I only have a few left

check the ph of the water you are adding. then see what that tests.

Ok I have two nicaraguense in a 35 gallon.( I know its 2 small my large tank is almost ready)Water quality is excellent. I vacuumed the gravel on friday and saw no signs of eggs. Nor have I seen anything happening in the time since(and I spend alot of time staring at the tank) this morning I...

I have seen them in some stores around here on clearance and I wasnt sure how good they(lasers) worked or what effects they may have on the fish. I know my fish dont even like the laser pointer shined in the tank.

awesome tank especially nice wood. what lighting scheme are you using

Dont be scared bow front anks are very easy. I have also thought they would be difficult but just go look at one in your LFS you'll see there really isnt any bending of the wood at least all the ones here are built with small slats.. Let me know If you need more info.

WOW someone nominated me I am truly flattered. Stix you probably made a mistake with putting that pic up. now your gonna get like a thousand questions from me! You guys should see my tank now. My nics started thier new construction project and have dug HUGE craters in the substrate. Its really...

Its a fake something or other. Hmm. I didnt really wanna enter cause honestly thats the worst display I had in that tank. But I was learning hoe to play with my camera. Stix: Awesome plantwork Elisabeth: what a beautiful tank you are the front runner and very deserving of such an honor.

CM Are you sure you know what you are talking about?? Check out this website www.aquariumfish.net maybe you can learn something there. Steve P.s. Just kidding ( it was a joke) A funny one too That guy didnt deserve the time you gave to him. Cheers

I second that motion. Just not cost effective to build a glass aquarium. Although someone was doing some research on plexiglass tanks I believe it was cichlid frak and there should be a thread that he started somewhere in the DIY forums.

DANG I think CFC got it did he?

:hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: WoW what a crazy story !! Maybe he made a cacoon and hatched and flew away

Is the tank cycled? If it is then vac 1/3 the gravel wait 3 days take reading then vac the another 1/3 wait 3 more days then repeat. In the mean times try to get as muuch out as possible with the net. Hopefully your not using an UGF. then clean your decor. oh yeah dont vac your angel :lol: :lol:

Its probably mouth fungus. fatal and contagious in most cases but you can try maracyn2

OK Mamapish first of all with scratching and eratic swimming I use Maracide it cost under 5 buck and treats 30 gallons for more than ten days but only five is required so you get two treatments. Your fish will keep getting sick while in this water the ammonia is tearing apart thier immune...

I 100% agree with catman. small water changes , no ammolock. Do not vacuum the gravel when doing water changes as the beneficial bateria start thier growth here also try not to let any food get to the bottom of the tank. Your nitrates show zero. Is a sure sign the cycling process is still in...

ROFLMAO :lol: :lol: :lol: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: :hyper:

you shoud've asked the owner if its ok if he had a infant child if you could dye his skin orange or green to make him more brilliant and interesting so he could show him off

If your sure its fin and tail rot that the best stuff. I assumeits a mardel product

super red arowana

are you a red snapper

oh fish tank store. I know they have a habit of not siphoning thier gavel mostly cause they run several tanks off a sump and that gives them an instant water change. You should be fine. the bacteria should be swarming in those tanks. Yes you can probably get away with using more gravel than 10...

are you a red dolphin hehe Are you a red grouper? if not are you freshwater or saltwater?

mama If youve gotten 2 ten gallon tanks setup and cycled. Take some gravel from each and add it to the uncycled tank this will speed it along dramatically as you will be planting a bacteria seed. be careful not to remove too much gravel as your newly cycled tanks are a little delicate if these...

ok fine but how about 30x12 and under. anyway you got the point right? 2 catagories 1 for big and 1 for small. I am gathering there are many more small tanks than large. I think this would spawn more of a competition.

now that your back

bink do you know what pleco it is some dont get big while others do. just depends however I cant see a pleco outgrowing a tank in less than1 year. you can stunt the growth of a pleco and shorten his life span by keeping him in a tank thats too small. they are like cichlids in a way the can...

even though its not the best you should be able to find how to change the bulbs and try uping the watts?
