Hey all! I now have an empty fully cycled 60 litre tank which I'm going to clean and water check before re-stocking.  I was wondering what the best sort of Cichlids would be for a 60 litre tank? I really need some help and info on this as I'd love to keep Cichlids of a smaller size- any...

Hi all,   Long time no speak in the FishForums! Back with a dilemma about my fish tanks and welfare. Basically I have a 22 (ish) gallon, quite a long but narrow tank and a Juwel 70 litre tank. The Juwel has been set up for many years and at the moment is healthy but a bit understocked and under...

I have a 55 litre filtered tropical tank and I fancy a dwarf cichlid or two. But here's the problem - which would be the most suitable for a community tank? And would I be better off getting one alone or a pair or even three - and of what sex? Thanks, Chris

Hi everyone I'm new to keeping Malawi Cichlids. Had the 60l tank set up for about a month and 4 beautiful fish in for a week. One of them is swimming on its side with what I can best describe as a 'scraped side' and looks like its poor fins been attacked. I have absolutely no idea what to do...

So I'm starting this journal a little late, the tank has been running a little while now but it has been slow going so I figured I would share what I've done so far.   The original plan was to do a biotope centered around the Lake Valencia Basin in Venezuela, which is the only lake in which wild...

Sorry didn't know how to word the title haha!   Ok so my 190 litre 4 foot tank im having a few problems with it and my sand just being sucked into my filter etc so deciding to start fresh (not the fish) and make it look better and have better stuff but am on a very tight budget.   So need to...

I purchased this Cichlid from a tropical fish store which sold a lot of unique hyrbrid cichlids. I was told by the owner that I was buying a King Kamfa Flowerhorn, but after trying to find it a new home, buyers are telling me that this is not so.   I have been told by one buyer that it is a Red...

I currently have a 135 gallon tank and was wondering different combinations of cichlids that I could keep long term. I have the knowledge of the different fish temperments, however, I seek advice on the combinations recommended for a tank of such a relatively small size. I am more than willing...

Hi, I visited my lfs the other day and saw a beautiful cichlid! i know that there are many types of cichlids so i dont have a clue what type it was, it was pinky/red/orangey coloured.  Anyway, i was wondering, can they live with platys and guppies? and if not guppies can they live with just...

I am looking for an opinion of experience...  First, a bit of background:   I have a Female Cockatoo Cichlid who has had a bit of a troubled existence recently.  About two months ago, she lost a few scales directly in the middle of her forehead.  Fearing HITH but suspecting a collision, I...

The Midas was a little bigger than i thought but i'll keep for a bit until he gets bigger, and the peacock is still really small. But hope you guys enjoy (:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6pVRWlvjHQ   <---- (youtube video)

  I have four (what I THOUGHT were male) ram cichlids in a tank, along with a neon tetra and a plecostomus. There's nothing else in the tank except snails (and I KNOW what snail eggs look like). I just saw today that the back of my small piece of driftwood is covered in eggs! I thought ram...

I've been doing a lot of research online and in doing so I've been changing my ideas for this tank non stop. First, I wanted a group of Scarlet Badis. Then I was thinking a maybe I'd start a red cherry shrimp colony. After that I went on to wanting a Tanganyikan shellie tank of lamprologus...

Hello everyone! I have a 20g long stocked with 5 mutlie cichlids. I'm focusing on breeding, and I'm curious if there are any types of scavanger/bottom feeder fish that could go with them. They lay eggs in shells, so the eggs should be theoretically safe, I just don't want something that the...

Hey everyone! I have a few questions about both mentioned in the thread name.   I'm interested in starting a cherry shrimp colony. I have two tanks, a 15g and a 10g, available. Both are already up and running with established filters, etc. Curious what a good starting number would be, and what...

Hey guys, I know the majority of you reading this probably only clicked on this to discourage me or tell me not to, but for those that aren't: The other day i got a new tank and instantly wanted more discus, as they are my favorite fish and the one i've kept for the longest, but then i...
