I've had this guy since he was the size of a quarter now he's about 10-12 inches in diameter. Going on 4 years old now. He's developed something on the top of his head that I have no clue on what it is. Kind of almost looks like a fungus, but with 4 white dots similiar to ich. He eats well...

anyone else have input?

No, the green one dominates the tank actually. The gold ones keep to themselves. The green one will chase the gold ones at times, but nothing serious. The port cichlid "shimmys" too and he normally keeps to himself, but now him and the severums go at it.

Ever heard of this? Whats also strange is that everone is aggressive all of a sudden too. I've had everyone in my tank for almost 2 years without any problems, then wham. I haven't added any fish either. My water parameters are all normal. I do all my water changes on time.

I guess I am a bit confused Rich either that I am brain farting. Would you mind explaing in further detail?

what do you mean by airlocked. as far as priming, i fill the canister with tank water and suck on the hose to get the water going to the spraybar

I've had an Eheim 2215 for a year now on my 75gal. Everytime I clean it out (tonight is the 3rd time) I have a problem getting it going again. It starts up, but has a problem spraying out thru the spraybar. I did a whole cleaning, tubes and all. I even took it apart and rinsed out all the...

How do I take care of these. Here's what I read: "The eggs will hatch in about 48 hours, then the young will be moved to a shallow pit in the substrate. After four or five days they are free swimming and herded together in a group and looked after by the male. Each brood can contain as many as...

I don't have live plants in any of the tanks. They are all silk in the 75 and plastic in the 10. The bala shark I wanna say is around 2.5 inches. I just remeasured the fish in the 75 and they are all over 1 inch but under 2. The biggest being the cupid cichlids are over 2 inches and the...

Most of the fish I have are around an inch (coin dollar size) or so except the 4 Rams. Those guys I wanna say are maybe less then a half inch. I know the Severums get to be a good size. I seen them fully grown in my parents tank growing up which in my tank, they are the "centerpiece fish...

My mother came by my home last night seen my set-up and said WOW. My parents were fish addicts years and years ago from FW to SW. Her last set-up was 14 years ago and got rid of it because she was moving. (I was in high-school then). She then started to criticise the amount of fish I had in...

OK, I got a BN and also another pleco. Let me ask this. Does algae cause a nitrite spike? I did a water test this week (done once a week) and the nitrites are sky rocketed (again) :? Back to the PWC and as long as I'm at it, scrubbing the decor.
