No idea what happened! Recently added a false upside-down catfish. That was about three weeks ago. They get along well. Both were healthy. Just noticed this tonight (2/23) and did a solid water change. I took about 8-10 gallons. The tanks is 55 gallons. Water parameters are: Nitrite 0, Ammonia...

Gravel.

I was reading that Oscar's need a 75 gallon tank minimum so I probably won't go with one of them. However, I really like the dwarf cichlids. So I was thinking of going with them and the blue ram cichlid if they are compatible.

http://www.fishlore.com/profiles-cichlids.htm based off of the list in that link which ones do you think would work best? I also think it's important to let you know that I have two massive filtration systems running on the tank. They are so big that they are running size L filters.

What breed of cichlids are docile community fish? And are all cichlids freshwater or only specific breeds?

Hello! So I have a 20gal tall and am having a heard time with fish to stock my tank with. I currently have one male guppy and two cobra endlers (also have a false upside down catfish that I'm moving into my 55gal). I want to put a betta in it but outside of that I'm falling short on ideas...

My roommate got them from her brother so neither of us are sure what kind they are. However, they about 11 inches in length. I wanted to do cichlids but I wasn't sure if that was possible because I have heard that they are brackish water fish. I've attached photos of the tank and the fish...

Hello there, I have just acquired a 55 gallon tank with two birchirs in it. I was curious to know what tank mates would work well with these fish. I know almost nothing about them, other than that they are opportunistic feeders. I am not sure if I will be keeping them because I don't know much...

Is there anything that you would suggest I do for plants or setup? I've been trying to find some good ideas but I can't find and good theme setups. I was thinking I'd like to do the two tanks as zen tanks but I can't think of any good zen setups or aquascaping. I would like to do bamboo in at...

Is sand or gravel better for the betta tank and what plants would do best? I've heard Amazon swords and Java ferns do well. The tank is led and lowlight so what would best fit my tanks? Thank you so much!

Hello there! I am getting two five gallon tanks from my boyfriend that I am going to be using to house bettas. I am looking for advice on how to properly set up my tanks and how to start them. I know that I can do the fishless cycle and I can use some of the bio matter from my 20 gallon to help...

I had a male betta who suffered from dropsy and eventually died from it. Unfortunately the photo you have posted here is exactly what my betta looked like when he contracted it. I am so sorry. I wish I could have given you some hope.��

My friend has a false upside down catfish and it is only active at night. That is about all I know.

Hello, all. I am having an issue with my African Anubis. It is growing and is sprouting new leaves but the leaves aren't doing well. The only way I can describe their condition is they look crispy and they feel hard and awkward. I have an LED lighting system and an external plant growth...

Oh I know. :) I have a friend and his tank is filled with them. That is how I got my two Java Ferns. I have wanted my tank to be semi-heavily planted for a while. I want to be able to have my tank be as low maintenance as possible because I am busy. So I am looking for good plants that are low...
