Had a male Eureka in a 220gal tank with Yellow Labs, Blue Regal, Red Fin Borelli's, Flametail, and a few other Haps and Peacocks (all Males) about 15 different cichlids are currently in the tank at present. Everything was fine until recently when I noticed he was keeping all of the other fish...

Is it safe to use these products together. Was doing some research and Purigen states not to use with products that has slime coat. Prime says it promotes slime coat. Not clear so thought I would ask to see if anyone has tried them.

Thank You I have not heard of the Wetspot so I will diff initially be checking them out here in a few minutes. Appreciate the help with this.

Thanks guys. Didn't mean to bring up an 18year debate here. I was just looking for some good feedback on a stocking list for my new tank. Mogurako I appreciate the recommendation you provided I believe it was spot on. I did have one question that I should have asked before regarding the...

Thank you for the great review. I have done some more reading and believe I will follow your suggestion and start ordering some fish next week or so. Going to remove the ones you identified as possible trouble makers and get some fish in the tank.

Thanks, Most of the fish I will have to buy online (due to my location not many LFS in my area. Nearest one is about 2 hours away) and this far they have been available. Quality and method of shipping is to be determined at this point. As suggested before and I agree I will be buying them...

Mogurako, Can you elaborate on your comment a little further. i.e How many species do I need to limit it to? How many of each species? Which ones are the aggressor? Something similar to what Ralfieboy did. He reviewed the list and made some recommendations on how to improve my stock list and...

This great input and very much helpful. The tank finished cycling today so now I just need to get serious about the fish. So a few more questions. Since I will be adding upto about 40 fish or so is it best to add them all at once (believe I know the answer but thought I would ask) or ad them...

Thanks I was thinking of a Hap and Peacock setup but really like some of the other species as well. This will be the first cichlid tank I have setup up and most of the fish will have to be ordered on line due to my location. So starting early and will go from there. I was thinking of 35-40 but...

We'll I think my cycle is nearing completion if not I will still work on it some more but I am now starting to look at a stocking list for it. The tank is a 220gal (72L X 24W X 30H). For filtration I have 2 Eheim 2217 and 2 Ehiem 2262. I was thinking of stocking it with the fish below and...

Where is the best p lace to purchase Poret Foam? Thanks

Been doing the fish less cycle and believe I am close to being done or may be done. Here is where I am at Ammonia 0 Nitrites 0 Nitrates 40ppm I do about a 30% water change. Add enough ammonia to raise the level up to 2.0ppm Check water same time next day and get the following Ammonia 0...

Any suggestions as to what type to look for? Thanks

I am looking for alternative media to fill an Eheim2262. The Eheim media is pretty expensive to fill this beast up
