Hello, looking for some help. came home from vacation and my giraffe cichlid had these white substances on him. One of them looks like a cotton ball attached to his eye, and then there are a few other spots on his top. What do I do? Is there anything I can do, or is he done?

I got a 56gallon tank. In it are 3 red zebras, 3 colbats, 3 yellow labs, 3 giraffe cichilds, 2 johannis, 1 rainbow shark, and 1 snail. Is my tank overstocked, would i be able to get more because i know that you want to slightly overstock with cichlids.

so i got a tank from a friend, sealed it, and it was good for 2 months but then started leaking. I know where it is leaking from. Should i just take the silicone and just seal over the old glue, or shud i take the old stuff off first and real seal? what is chemically different about silicone...

Giraffe cichild maybe

Thanks!!!!!!

So my friend got me them, they are malawi but what kind?

well then, that solves that problem. thanks

I got 9 baby african cichilds, and one red tail shark. They are in a 44 gal, and it needs more fish. I don't really wanna add more cichilds. What other fish could i add that would go well with them? If i had to add more cichilds which ones should i add. I have the blue, orange, and yellow ones...

I sealed my tank with petco aquarium silicon, left it for 48 hrs. and have just filled it up. Its been sitting for about a half hour, and i only sea one spot that looks to have a leak. Should i empty it out now, or should i let it sit with the water in it to see if there are any more leaks? I...

would you mind explaining the plans u used to build your stand?

So what kinds of fruits/veggies can i feed cichlids? I've been told swordtails will eat cucumber, will cichilds? I also have a rainbow shark so anything they could eat besides the regular food would be great.

Since i don't have a black light on my tank, is it ok that my tank is completely in the dark when i go to bed?

It seems to me that my cichlids are much more active at night. They seem to always be swimming more, and are more eager to eat.

What kind of rocks are those?

I have a 45 gal tank and the sealent was bad on it. So i stripped it all off. What kind should i use to seal it back up? how do it do it? anything else i should be worried about?
