Thanks guys, i was pretty sure he was a zebra but I thought I would get confirmation here. Thanks again!

Hey all! Can someone shed some light on what type of fish this may be? Labelled as an OB peacock but does not look the same as the other OB peacocks I have seen. Any help would be great :)

Yes I cycled the tank, I am not a total newb, I have had freshwater tanks for years. I will try pointing the head to the left and see if that helps. Thank you for the advice :)

Hello, I am new to the world of saltwater and just finished setting up a 45 gallon corner tank. I was advised that in addition to the fluval 405 I am running on the tank I would need to add two circulation pumps. At the saltwater store I left with two circulation pumps rated at 850 gph...

My dragonblood peacock male And My White lip Mdoka male

Hi Everyone, Well I was bitten by the cichlid bug awhile back after I was given a breeding group of dragonblood peacocks. I have been successful at breeding and rearing the fry and have had many many broods of them. I have included a picture of my male. So here I am, setting up a 72 gallon...

Thank you very much for all of your help! I will venture to a hydroponic store this weekend!

Thank you to everyone who has provided an answer to my questions :) I have changed the timer on my lights and CO2 to only be on for 6 hours a day. I have started spot dosing with excel, hopefully it clears up soon! I havent tried dry ferts, I live in ontario canada and do not know where I...

Hello Again, Thank you for the advice thus far. Here are my tank specs. 65 gallon tank measuring 48" x 15.5" x 20" Lighting: zoomed aquasun quad t5ho 4x54w bulbs (two flora sun and two ultra sun) my lights stay on for almost 12 hours a day. I am injecting CO2 using an inline reactor...

I was wondering if anyone can give me a plant ID on the plants in the first two pictures. Also, in the last picture there is a type of black algae forming on my anubias, any suggestions on what is causing this? I can provide update aquarium stats when I have time :) I

It takes between 9 months to over a year before these plecos become sexually mature. Please keep us informed if you see signs of whiskers!

I have quite a few of them. They are very big eaters and go through a pound of hornwort a week! I have read that they do not harm their babies but I have had most of my success providing very small hiding spots for the young crays. I silicone a bunch of drinking straws together and use a rock...

At what point do you remove the fry? If remove fairly soon after say 3 weeks old will the parents readily spawn again?

Congrats on the spawn!! I need to ask you what your water parameters are, more specifically temperature and ph. Did you do anything in particular to trigger the spawn? What types of foods were you feeding them before they spawned for you? They are gorgeous fish btw! You should be proud!

One more thing to consider is seasonal changes in light intensity. During the summer months the light intensity from the sun is very very strong and plant growth will be incredible. However as the seasons change so does the intensity of the light from the sun (very noticable here in Canada!)...
