Hello once again, I have a heavily planted 75 gallon African Cichlid tank with a JBJ 4x65 watt 6500k compact light fixture. I inject Co2 25ppm and dose ferts from Greg Watson. My question is does a compact light fixture give you a full 260 watts across the entire length of my tank. Seems to me...

I took a look on google and I don't think what I have is Phyllanthus fluitans. The hanging roots are a greenish brown color. The leaves are smooth and cuped shaped and are thin. Closest plant I can find on google is giant duckweed but the leaves are a little different. I guess the search...

Wondering if anyone out there has a suggestion for floating plants in a Malawi tank that my fish won't eat and is easy to grow in low light. Thanks, Larry

Picture of sick fish. Sorry, picture is a little blurry. Thanks, Larry

Was wondering if someone out there could help me identify what looks like either some sort of leech or skin fluke on one of my Malawi cichlids. The fish eats well and acts normal other than the black lines,(not spots), 1/6" or smaller on the body and fins of the fish. There are about eight or...

I'm not sure if a peaceful cat can endure the harrassment. My mbuna fishy's are aggressive, nasty creatures where warfare is the norm with cease fires only occuring during feeding. A hungry mbuna is a not so happy fish as I limit small feedings to once a day preferring cleaner living conditions...
