if they are african cichlids, probablyh niether. Cories and loaches prefer soft acidic water and would not go well in the hard, basic water needed by african cichlids. If you are talking SA cichlids, it depends on tank size and species of loach.

they were white and they ate them all xP

the only one would be the clown; the gymnos actually prefer the temperature cooler. The clown is still young; could it adapt to cooler temps? I am really quite attactched to this dojo; if my parents would let me I'd have my 55 set up for him in a heartbeat.

Long story short; we got caught in a horrible move where we were stuck living in a basement of a friend for over a year. She used to share a 55 gallon with another dojo and a few goldfish; the other dojo and the goldfish all died off b/c we had no choice but to move them all into a 5g when we...

the 150 gallon is kept at around 26-27 degrees C, and my 150 is a community tank of mostly medium-sized SA fish, plus some loaches like yoyos and kubotai.

I think my 2 little guys may be parents :D I just cant tell for sure if what I'm looking at is eggs.... Never actually bred any fish before xD Anyone got pictures or descriptions??

how about a toad?

well, with those fish I wouldnt worry too too much about your pH. I have the same problem but it's never affected my fish, although I usually choose fish that work well in super soft water. As far as I know bala sharks arent picky and gouramis and tetras actually prefer softer water.

Basically this is a choice of the lesser of 2 evils: I have a dojo loach in a 5 gallon tank, which is WAY too small, but would it be better to move it to my 150 gallon which is WAY too warm? The 5 gallon gets pretty warm in the summer anyway; woud the dojo loach adapt to warm water permanently...

just out of curiousity, what fish are in the tank?

I think that when all your inhabitants are full grown that tank will be overstocked.... dats and bichers get to over a foot long. Im not positive but that seems a bit much for a 120 IMO. In any case, if you want a schooling fish to fil up the middle and top that wont get eaten, congo tetras are...

hot girl gave me a pleco in one dream xD (too much caffiene that night) another dream my mom sold my fish tanks bred my yoyo loaches in another dream :D Got a pool and filled it with sharks in another dream :D My mom had a dream when she was little that all her guppies turned into jaws and came...

The trumpet seems to agitate the danios a little, and it used to scare the pants off my geophagus (temporary resident who was in time out for murdering my severum)but the trombone doesnt bother them at all.... maybe its just the direct high pitched sound as apposed to the deeper broader sound

driftwood and real plants can lower pH and the effects of the other piece of driftwood may still be working... also what is yur hardness? that is a major factor in pH changes. My tap water is around 7 when it comes out but within days it drops to 6 or less,since the hardness is so low, which...

pumpkinseed sunnies are the best, like little puppy dogs in your fish tank and more personable than any fish Ive ever had!!! If I had a place to put my 55 id set up a tank for them in a heartbeat. I had one in a 55 for a few years, they are hardy and easy to feed, mine used to eat worms out of...

I'm a guy with an unusual combination of hobbies.... fish tanks and jazz brass xD my questio is, I usually practice kmy trumpet and my trombone in my room, where have a 26 gallon to which I just added some blue rams and danios. Normally I wouldnt think much of it, but since im trying to breed...

med sized as in how big? I have congo tetras in my tank, big guys and nice color, they get to 3-4 inches, great schooling behavior too. got recommended to me by my LFS and I have been really happy with them :)

Not too long; in fact at the moment the fish seems ok but they both look pretty stuffed xD It looked before like she might be trying to spit it up cuz half of it would go out and then go right back in, but now she seems to manage to have swallowed it. Any way to tell if they are pairing off? Im...

So, I got 2 beautiful looking german rams yesterday, which seem to be agreeing with each other quit nicely and I'm hoping I have a pair.... Just out of curiosity, how big/old do rams have to be to breed? Also, to condition these little guys for breeding I fed them bloodworms, and one of them...

haha if hes any sort of cristian wouldnt that money be better spent, idk, helping the poor? healing the sick? bringing bibles to the world? nope lets just post billboards about the fact that we are all supposedly screwed as of yesterday xD oh wait WE ARE STILL HERE!!! xD

haha that hard to find? they look good but id have to ask my lfs. anyone have any recommendations for a decent sized (6-8 inch), collorful geophagus I could breed in a tank like that? I'm deffinately leaning towards a geo...

amen xD my food all stays in the freezer or in the basket on the shelf next to my tank. Biggest fish tak mishap was forgetting to unplug my glass heater durning a water change. BAM! I almost fried my fish but at least it sped up the water change- half of the water just evaporated out of the...

whatever treatment you get use half the dose, loaches are scaleless fish and are extra-sensiive t meds. I just treated my 150 for ich, had to be super careful not to hurt my yoyo loaches, I was worried because they had it bad but they pulled through. good luck!

If you want a colorful native gamefish, instead of a trout why not try a pumpkinseed sunfish? I had one once, I caught it in a private lake so I was able to take it home; it became on of my favorite fish in a very short time. They are beautiful with orange and turqouise all across their bodies...

I would try angels....but my mom hates those too xP I will probably end up settling on a pair of geophagus or severums, depends on what my LFS gets in. Unless anyone has any other ideas? I'm open to all suggestions! And one of these days when I finish high school and move out I will make sure to...

A tiger shark can requrgitate the entire contents of its stomach. There is a species of lizard that consists of entirely females that, while still only reproducing assexually, must go through mating rituals with other female lizards of the same species. Talk about your lesbian feminist role...

Arent jack dempseys agressive? I had a green severum in there to help cycle the tank but when I tried adding a geophagus it did NOT like the severum. R.I.P. Mr. Severum (and back to the store with the offending geophagus) :( Severums might be good but if the dempseys are agressive it wont work...

I have a 150 gallon tank which I am currently stocking but I have run into some problems figuring out the "centerpiece". The tank is mostly SA and asian fish and the pH is just how they would like it, quite low (about 6). I'd like to get a pair of SA cichlids that might breed that would fit the...

New to the forums, just joined about an hour ago and thought I'd introduce myself :) While I am new to the forum I'm NOT new to the hobby; I've had fish since I was 9 and I am now 16. I was out of the hobby for the past 2 years due to an extended move but now we are in the new house and I have a...
