    Parrot Cichlid tank mate

    Welp, I tried. He killed the other one. :-( I thought I did my research on good tank mates. Made sure my water was good, made sure there was a lot of hiding spaces, even rearrange my tank. Any suggestions from people that have had these guys? I necessarily don't want a single fish in my...

    Parrot Cichlid tank mate

    So much for the angel fish being one of the beat tank mats for my parrot. He went after the poor thing as soon as I put him and ate his eyes out. He is leaving the other one alone, but he already killed one of the two I bought. :-( Update: Nevermind he is already chasing the other one. I'm...

    Parrot Cichlid turning black?

    I figured that might be the case. He is getting friendly, following my finger and coming to say hi. I'd figured if he was really sick, he wouldn't be swimming around so much.

    Parrot Cichlid turning black?

    https://reddit.com/u/Wild_Emu_5157/s/gRKC8DQbKC Didn't think to just use my reddit account. Also, day before he went black. He has been in the tank for one full week now.

    Parrot Cichlid turning black?

    I have a water dechlorinater product I use. Yes I do water changes. As I stated all the test checked out good. For some reason, I can't get pictures to upload anymore. Is there a way to delete my old attachments to upload new ones? Says I exceeded my limit. :-p

    Parrot Cichlid turning black?

    First, my water parameters are good. No Ammonia and nitrate cycle is done. All that was done before I bought my first fish. He is the only guy in the tank right now. He had a lot of caves and plants to hide in, but he is developing black patches everywhere. Water is 78 degrees. I want...

    Need Recommendations (20GL)

    I agree! One of the reasons I'm ditching the 20 gallon long idea and doing a 29 gallon like I did before. I am going to use my reef octopus for the 29. I paid for it, might as use it. LoL I had a 29 gallon and it was going great until I decided to upgrade to 120 gallon. I am buying a reef...

    The 300 gallon outside corner reef of 32 years has been moved to its new 400 gallon P

    Falling Apart Tank looks Good! I seem to hit 40 and things are falling apart. :-p Everything hurts, everything seems to be going south, and easy fixes turn into "Take a week off work" things now. Which I still don't do! LoL Went to the doctor for something I thought was routine, next...

    Need Recommendations (20GL)

    Hello again! Been five years since I have been active on this forum. I am back for recommendations from people with more experience than me. I have had saltwater tanks before, only FOWLR tanks. I wanted to do a reef tank, but I never had the opportunity being I worked out of town all the...

    Help me Decide!

    I have been though it all. Freshwater and Saltwater tanks! The largest was a 120 gallon tank that I did both Salt and Fresh water in. Life happens and I am down to no tanks now. Not even a betta tank now as my betta died on me a week ago. :-( Now I am moving into a brand new home that I am...

    I'm Back Baby!!

    Thanks for the advice. I am going to drop the Texas cichlids all together as I think they will cause too much trouble for my tank. I'm buying two more Silver Dollars instead. I got a lot of rock caves, and I'm going to add even more caves for the fish. I disagree that a 120 is too small for...

    I'm Back Baby!!

    It's ok, my Salt took forever to put up and take down. This tank literately only took me thirty minutes to set up. So it's much easier, and it will be a cool looking tank! So I am looking forward to it!

    I'm Back Baby!!

    Hey guys, as maybe some of you know I was into Saltwater, unfortunately life caught up to me and I had to take my 120 gallon saltwater down. I'm not ever going to go that big again, but someday I am going back to salt. So I had a problem. I have a 120 gallon tank just sitting there collecting...

    Florida Flag Fish?

    I have a Florida Flag Fish that is just staying on the bottom of the tank, and not moving much at all. He was an active swimmer at first, now he is just at the bottom of the tank and staying upright, under my drift wood. He moves a little and is in a different hiding space every day, but still...
