I dont really want it what would you do with it.

So a co-worker offered up there setup. They are not sure about what they have because they got it from a business that didn't want it any more. I told her I would take it my issue is one of the fish has tattoo on it. They are not sure what other fish they have either. I told them I would give...

Thanks for ur comments. If anyone else has had experiences please post a reply. Once again the experience and quick responses of members on this forum far exceed any other forum ive seen.

When u say stand up to them are u talking about uprooting them or eating them. I heard java fern and a few others that I cant find locally wont be nipped at by them. I feel I could try some see how they do but I dont want them eating something that isnt good for them.

I appreciate the advice. I understand the nature of cichlids and there natural habitat. Some of the research Ive done says there is some plants are safe and wont be eaten buy them. They have had fake plants for the past six months and although they do dig they haven't uprooted the plants. I...

We have a 55 gallon cichlid tank. We have 11 cichlids assorted (dont ask species as we are not 100% sure on each but it is a mix and they are from LFS), 14 fry in a hospital, and 1 common pleco. There is 2 15w t8 aqua-glo lights. Running a Fluval 304 and a 204 filter. Sand substrate and some...

Here is our 55 gallon cichlid tank. With about 14 Fry in quarantine.

yea it does look larger working on pics an video. may not be until later today or tomorrow. can a male have egg sacs or what appear to be egg sacs. And what do I need to do to help them, or if you have a link. p.s. This forum rocks. I appreciate the help

Okay so I wave a cobalt blue cichlid. this fish dominates our setup and is always the first to claim every cave, and always chases anyone else away. Well i looked to day and my Electric Blue Johannii and blue cichlid are going in circles taking turns at rubbing on each others egg sacs. then...

They are small cichlids. I have a hose drain but i use the bucket. I figure that it would be better to add water with bucket. This way I can add the de-chlorinater in the bucket than add the water so it mixes well. Its a lot of trips to the tub but bathroom is real close.

Okay. so i have a 55 gallon and started with 8 cichlids running a fluval 304. its been a week and a half. We have done water changes daily until 3 or 4 days ago. We have just started to see the nitrate levels spike and ammonia drop to almost zero.. Couple questions. I have been changing 5o%...

I have a 55 gallon right now but will be upgraded hopefully in 9-10 months

So we went to the LPS yesterday and picked out 6 African cichlids. One of them has yellow fins and a light yellow body with black spots( not stripes). They almost look like leopard spots. Of course the store had no idea what type it was. I cant post a picture yet (at least you that would do...

Alright we have the 55 gallon up and ready to go. Our plan is to start with African cichlids. 2 elec yellow 2 elec blue either a frontosa or jewel. We also want to include a jack Dempsey and dalmatian molly. Are these compatible? I posted this in the new tank sections and was told to post her...
