I need a little help Identifying these cichlids if at all possible! I would love to get to know all about them. Everything (name, feeding habits, and if at all possible genders)! I want to be sure i am properly caring for them and not making mistakes. If you need more information please ask and...
I am ecstatic today! Not only is it Easter but i woke this morning and spent time with my family including my fish (five platies, one male three female and one fry. Two female mollies and a pleco) I was feeding them and watching to make sure they ate everything. I noticed one of my mollies wasnt...
Thank you for all of the information everyone. It put my mind at ease and my fish aren't stressed anymore. How much water should i change now that the tank is cycled again?
I just did my parameters testing. The results were shocking and unbelievable. Ammonia 0ppm, nitrites 0ppm, and nitrates were between 5-20ppm! This is good right? Does this mean I'm at or close to the end of the cycling phase? If so, im wondering if it is due to adding of the new filter because...

Okay. I also think i need to add in a second HOB that i can customize more to use in conjunction with the penguin biowheel 350. Can you recomend one that would allow for the activated carbon to be taken away from the equation?
So do a water change now and leave the substrate? I figured with my biowheels and fluval ceramic cylinders in my filter i was safe to change my filter pads. I gues i wont unless they fall apart from now on. Do i need to use activated carbon filters or can i take activated carbon out of the...
Hi Everyone,
I have been having some issues with my 20 gallon long aquarium recently (one and a half weeks). I set it up at the beginning of february this year (fish in cycling against my better judgement and hindsight with one of my LFS advice). It was cycled fully in two and a half to three...
