I have had my 55 gallon African Cichlid tank for a while now and I have been bit satisfied with the look of the tank but I have never been content with the look of the tank. I have been thinking about adding artificial plants but quickly stopped thinking about it as they would instantly uproot...

I know for a fact that it is not the conditioner since I saw the residue before I added anything to the water, like conditioner and ph riser.

Today I got the Aqueon Siphon and since my tank was due for a clean I decided to clean the tank but noticed a problem. After I cleaned the tank and replaced it with water, I noticed a oily residue at the surface of the water. I have yet to clean the tank again to remove the residue since I...

Oops forgot to mention that they are fake plants, will it work on fake plants. The fish only really uproot the plants when I feed them (They get exited), I guess the solution is to stop feeding them, lol. I plan on taking out the slate as a whole whenever I need to clean the tank, don't know...

After looking at the rapid growth of cichlids, I am thinking that it is finally time to expand the entrances of my slate rocks. My plan is to get two Texas holy rocks to put on each side of the tank and keep the slates in the middle. I have been looking at two glue that say they are great for...

That is why I am confused, in the first picture it is the bottom one and in the second picture it is the one in front of the OB Peacock. It really isn't a black, it's more of a very dark blue and the line that goes across is kind of like a violet color. I'll wait until tomorrow to take a picture...

No the picture I took of the first one is not of the Johanni, since when I took the picture the Johanni was next to this cichlid but out of frame (It just looks blue cause of the flash but it's really black). I already know that my Johanni is genuinely a Johanni, so that's not a problem. Also...

Yeah I certainly know about their temperament.

So I bought 2 cichlid's this week and one of them I am unsure what it is. The first cichlid I got was a blue johanni while the second one, even the guy from the pet store is unsure on what it is. He believes that it is a auratus but certain features is making him think that it is not an auratus...

Over the weekend I was cleaning my crab tank and I happen to have lost the hose adapter that comes with the Fluval 1 Plus Filter. The hose adapter is basically a tube that you attach to the section of the filter where the water is thrown out. Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement hose...

Well they have been going in circles recently but my Afra is a blocker, where he gets in between them. So do you think that could be it?

These are the pics of them, you can see the side of them that they have black lines, it's kind of hard to see but you can see it. http://imgur.com/e4UFe http://imgur.com/LwzYX If you look at the second pic you can see a little black on the labs upper lip. On a side note it was such a pain...

Oh yeah mine has those black lines like any other normal lab but it's these other lines that are concerning me.

I am certain that they are yellow labs since I got it from a breeder in his apartment and not a petstore. So you are saying that this is normal?

I wish I could but my cam is on the fritz, I'll try and see if I can take a pic of them tomorrow with my brother's iphone.
