Female ate the eggs. They were not fertilized. The male went ballistic and wont stop trying to attack the female. Had to separate them.

The eggs are white. Any where from 50+ eggs that i can see. Might be more inside the cave.

severums dont need to be in schools. i would do 6 clown loaches. they have a lot of personality and like moving around the bottom of the tank as a group. i like that stock tho. black cons and dempseys are some of my favorite fish. red belly means female so keep that in mind when buying convicts...

i have two blood parrots that have laid eggs. does anyone have experience with these fish ?. i know they are a hybrid fish and it is hard for them to breed but it seems they have laid eggs and fertilized them. both of them are on heavy guard duty. thing is , i moved them from my 55 gallon...

leave the oscars out. go with fire mouths, a striped raphael, clown loaches and geophagus. blood parrots are cool too.

divide the tank during feeding...

Males have brighter more vivid colors and are larger. The dorsal fin would round off at the tip, not pointed like males.

A friend of mine just moved and asked if i wanted his fish. 1 is a roundbellied flowerhorn and 2 pacus. I dont know much about either species except that the fh is a hybrid and can get disease easily and Pacu get huge. My question is how fast do they grow and which tank should i house them in. I...

I didnt know this. I think the one i liked was a heckilli. I hope im spelling that right. Someone suggested a firemouth. They are kinda cool looking. Ive kept the fighting down really well in my other tanks. Dont want to go back down that road again. Lol.

I think im going to pass on the discus. Seems like alot of work and expense. Im going with the shark stock list with a redtail shark, a pair of botias and a banjo catfish, some kribensis and a geophagus. As for the top layer, can i add an african butterfly. They seem pretty cool and laid back...

I like the way those stock lists sound. I might have to buy another tank. Lol !

Well i have cichlids in my other tank. I could easily transfer one over. All still juvenile and not too aggressive. For bottom feeders i was thinking about 4 red bellied kribensis and a banjo catfish because they stay relatively small. So a red tail shark, 2 red tail botia 4 kribensis and a...

Thats what im thinking about with the discus tank. They are pricey as well. I was thinking red tail sharks, botias and a catfish.

I have a 75 gallon i finally want to make use of. Im torn between a discus setup and a shark tank. I have no experience with either so......... What do you think.? I have my 55 gal. SA cichlid tank and my 20 gal. Tetra tank both doing well so i want to move up to my 75.

I added some api stress zyme and took one filter pad from one of my 55 gallon filters and put it in the 20 gallon tank filter. thanks....
