Florence needs a bigger home before you can think about adding anything else. Even if you don't Florence needs a bigger home. If you tried to add another fish Florence one would not survive. Not enough space at all. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news

What kind of Cichlid is Florence? I'm worried your 10 gallon might be too small already.

Again always check your water first. After that, if everything is good, having your lights on a timer might also help a little. My fish seem to appreciate the set schedule of lights. It can also help you control algea as you can limit the light if it gets out of hand Sent from my VS980 4G using...

I'm not sure about the rams (no personal experience) but everything else should be okay. Just be aware clown loaches will outgrow your tank... I have my blue acara with a couple Keyholes, an Angel, a Severum (a bit too big for 200L), and lemon tetras. Sent from my VS980 4G using Aquarium...

I had a nice peaceful-ish South American setup with a Severum, a couple Angels, 3 Keyholes, and a school of Lemon Tetras. After a 700 mile move, leak in tank, and broken heater I lost a Angel, Keyhole, and a few tetras. It's been 6 months since and everything is spot on. I was very recently...

You can't know for sure if it'll work or not. Its possible. I've had 3 in my 75 for about 10 months now. The two largest will squabble every once and a while, but nothing serious. The third is still surprisingly small, so perhaps its still yet to mature, and that might change things. If you...

I had originally stocked my 75 with 1 angel and 5 gourami (all three spot color variants) and that worked well. 1 male and 4 females. None of them came near the angel, just squabbled amongst themselves. So perhaps adding more will help. And yes I agree the balas must go back. Sorry, but they get...

Just to throw another idea out there for ya. I have a 37 with a school of Tiger barbs and a pair of Honduran Red Points. This setup has worked very well for me.

A wet sponge can work as long as it has not ever been used for anything else. If there are some water stains you can use vinegar without worry.

I have to start by saying I have no knowledge about keeping fish with turtles, but I do know that Severums get large, and are quite peaceful as far a cichlids go. So if a JD is too aggressive maybe look into those

Well its been about 2 weeks since I started using the Cupramine and things are looking good. I bought the Seachem copper test to keep an eye on the levels. It was easy to use, but didn't find it real easy to compare the sample to the color chart. It always seemed to be a bit on the less...

Its bloated not pregnant. I had one of these guys when I was a kid, and loved it, but I had some compatibility issues. At night my smaller fish (tetras and zebra danios) would disappear and my catfish's belly would get huge. It will eat way more than you would expect it to be able to, and then...

I haven't kept convicts so I can't comment on there personality, but to me markings can be just as eye catching as colors. I do like the stripes that convicts have. I tend to keep fish that are not overly aggressive so that I why I haven't kept them as of yet. Also they are very common so if I...

I found Cupramine a couple of days ago. Definitely looks like a better option than Copper safe after reading the labels, so thank you very much for that suggestion. I went ahead and dosed as instructed by the label. I read it close to make sure I got it right, and its a good thing because the...

I'd stick to one Angel. They do great by themselves. Two could be asking for trouble. If they pair and breed they will become very aggressive to all other tank mates, and if they don't pair they will fight each other for territory. They also are pretty large, so that will limit the amount of...
