cool cool...i wont be getting the orange zebras at this time then.what other fishes would go well with convicts that'd you'd recommend?

@Marka123, the fishes lol! @HUKIT, I was told that they can go together. I will double check on that tho before I make a stupid and costly mistake.... Thanks.

Just wondering, to those with convicts, what food(s) do you feed your convicts? Right now I am feeding mine flakes and bloodworms, but would like to see what everyone else feeds theirs.... Also, I'll be getting 2 pink cichlids and hopefully 2 orange zebra's this weekend or so, and was wondering...

I've been using Melafix. I'll check the petstore tomorrow for the other stuff. Thanks for info!

Hey guys and gals about 2 weeks ago a friend gave me some convicts(5)...when i picked them up, my friend told me that one of them had been attacked by the bigger con and wasn't swimming right...so i bring them home and placed them in the tank and the con thats hurt just went to the bottom. next...

Just got home from the pet store, saw some orange zebra cichlids and pink cichlids. Would they go well together?

Cool, cool. Thanks for the advice. The fish will actually be given to me for free from a friend cuz he got some new fish for his tank. I'll be checking the pet stores to see what they have and make sure they're compatible to stay in the same tank. The tank is a 29 gallon BTW. Thanks again for...

also, i was reading in another thread that they can eat frozen blood worms, where is this normally sold?

what fish can go together with convicts? can i put them together with 2 black moors and maybe a catfish shark?

I'm in the process of changing the water at the moment. I will be going back to the pet shop tomorrow to see if they have any that came in. The whole explaination of the surface agitation/oxygen makes a lot of sense. I'm also thinking of adding an air pump with air stones also.

no, my tank hasn't gone through the nitrogen cycle. No body here in my area has the FW test kit and i haven't found a place that'll ship one my way. I don't think the betta's were both male as they had been together in a bowl for a while before i set up the tank. If by surface agitation you...

I got question, I have a 29gallon tank. When I started it I had 2 betta's and 2 guppies. After about a week or so, the 2 betta's died but the guppies are still there. Today, I got an algae eater and put it in the tank. After a couple hours i decided to check on the fish and noticed that the...

I filled it up Thursday night. I added a gallon of water, the bubbling has slowed down. Just waiting for the rest to go down. It falls from the filter to the surface about an inch or an inch and a half.

Thanks guys! I'll be heading to the pet store tomorrow. So far, I've set up the decors and filter. And now, I am stumped yet again! There are a whole bunch of bubbles coming from the filter, what causes this? I did a search here and so far i've come up with: possible air coming in through the...
