I have 3 large males, 1 regular and 2 pinks. I had a female that mated with my regular convict. After they had their fry I put the female in with one of the pink ones. He ended up killing her. So now I have 50 or so babies. All I want is 3 females. When they are little you can not tell the...

Ok, thanks so much for the info

Its a 55 g. If most cichlids do this, why rehome one? Edit, I'm sure one is a female for sure because she dropped an egg. Could it be the other 2 are males? The female don't lip lock with the other 2 that's doing the lip lock thing.

I have 2 jewel cichlids. They are about 5" long. They seem to hang out together often. They are the plain jewels. But at times they both turn red almost looking like they are bloody and they will grab into each others lips and don't let go for about 3-5 minutes. I'm not sure what's going on. Is...

I have 2 in my tank. I had the one several months, the other I have had for 1 month. The newest one started floating a week after I bought him. So every day I would check on him, he had no smell but was still floating for over a week. I took him out and put him in a cup and added 1" of aquarium...

Ok thanks, I have enough to go into a few of my tanks. I will try some in each and see what happens.

Ok, well I guess my purchasing these was not a good idea. Maybe I will use one of my smaller tanks and put some shrimp and snails along with the new plants. Thank you all for the info.

Ok, thanks so much. Then I don't need dirt for them, sand bottom is ok? I have many tanks. I have cichlid tanks, tropical mild tanks? I do have silver dollars in my mild tanks and they are little pigs. Will they destroy the plants? Thanks

I just bought wisteria and moneywort. The pet store said they are easy to grow. I get on the net and many different info on these plants. So I'm a little confused. The plants came in little pots. Do you just plant the pot in the sand or do you need soil of some sort and remove from the pot? What...

It looks like a Golden killifish or maybe a golden wonder.

LOL well it's working for you. I was worried my fish would be killed by them. I hope it continues to go well for you.

I hope you continue to have good luck with them. When I bought them they were large fish about the same as my other fish. Maybe it was just my tank mates.

Could it be from leaching from your driftwood?

It sounds like fungus. Look up fungus treatment for your fish. I've never had guppies. Sorry I can't help out more.
