I know one cheap option is pool filter sand. I've used it before and I had no problems with it. It's pretty cheap if memory serves Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Most of the helpful bacteria lives in the filter and the media. Without water and an ammonia source the bacteria are likely to last less than 48 hours. Fortunately a fish less cycle isn't all that long and can be done while you acquire the rest of your materials and figure out your stocking...

I'm no expert in any sense of the word but I do know a few things: Loaches are usually kept in groups They can be nippy sometimes What size tank is it? Filtration? Other tank mates besides neons? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Do you know the Gh/Kh that your geos prefer? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Do you think these fish would work well in an African hap/peacock tank? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Do you (or anyone) have any stocking ideas for an all male tank or a male/female setup? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

So if I went with groups of 3 (1:2 male female) of varying species (all peacock though) and avoiding similar colors, would that be a good place to start if I didn't want an all male tank. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

How much upkeep is a breeding pair tank? Can you have multiple breeding pairs? For some of the peacock species it seems to suggest that they are schooling fish, requiring groups of 5 or more. If I did do an all male tank, that would obviously cause aggression correct? So then I would have to do...

So if I decided to go all male, which seems to be the better option given I don't want to deal with any fry, my options seem to be picking between peacocks/haps and mbunas. It seems like some people have had success mixing the two but that seems like a shot in the dark at my current knowledge...

I've also been entertaining the idea of a cichlid set-up so if anyone has input on that, it would be appreciated too! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I think that the cichlids from Lake Malawi seem to be the easiest to keep and also the most colorful. I have kept successful aquariums before so I'm not too worried about upkeep and care. I'm looking for an active tank that seems "full" of fish. I've heard there is some stock in the theory of...

I have a 55 that is currently not being used and was entertaining the idea of a mildly aggressive cichlid tank. What would some of my options be? I have never kept cichlids before so I am completely in the dark. My filtration setup is a Marineland Emperor 400 and an Aquaclear 110

Hello everyone. Last time I was on here was nearly 3 years ago. Its good to be back! I took down my 55 gallon tank when I went to college and now that I'm graduating and moving into more stable housing, Im thinking about setting up my tank again. Problem is I not sure what I want to go with...
