I was curious if anyone knew what kind of cichlids these were? First I think is some type of flowerhorn, fish store labeled it a jack dempsey I know that is wrong.Next is a frontosa just wondering which type?And sorry for the pics its the best I could do

I will have to keep an eye out for Amano shrimp thanks, well after a little over a week i can only see one ghost shrimp left.I never saw any of the fish go after them but i did find dead shrimp uneaten.After doing a little research I think it might be the lack of calcium in my tank,although I'm...

ok I got ghost shrimp decided to get ghost shrimp,(they were cheaper)and my son is happy with them .and if they get eaten they didn't cost much.

just curious though,would they need an air stone or would the java give them enough oxygen?

ok cool thanks for all the replies,i will get some but cant add a tank.i just took down two and if i added even a 1 gallon my wife would be like oh boy here we go again lol.

Im worried they might get eaten but my son really wants them I have a 90 gallon tank with mostly different tetras. I have neons,serpe,bleeding hearts,candy cane,rasbora,hatchets and a few panda cory cats.any thoughts?

ya near it so it can spot it,make sure its a small/medium size cricket not the monsters they sell for lizards,it wont be able to swallow it.oh a make sure you watch it get eaten, more then once i was in a hurry and just dropped it in only to have it crawl out of the tank and hear my wife scream...

african butterfly they eat insects,crickets/flys any bug small enough to fit in their mouth they will eat floating food but ive had two and mine never ate flakes just bugs and freeze dried blood worms

its a venustus its not a jag its a giraffe cichlid also known as venustus.google venustus cichlid and it will give you all the info you need. its also an an african cichlid and the jack is south american i have had giraffes in the past and they are more difficult cichlids to care for.lol not...

ok thx kinda small to tell which ones i dont want.i think i pulled them out alittle early but the mother bumblebee was acting real weak so i figured it was a good time
