Angelfish are known for twitching especially at each other either for dominance or mating but I've never seen them twitch for no apparent reason. Is your angel a male or female? Is it twitching at another fish?

Mac Miller my geophagus winemilleri is doing some Landscaping. What do you think of his work?

Some good fish stores will sell really nice driftwood with a piece of slate attached to the bottom. Sometimes you can find big beautiful pieces of driftwood at these stores. Or maybe a large cool looking skull or ship? It's kinda limited since your Oscar will try to redecorate whenever he sees...

I have a blue and gold Jack Dempsey , I'm not sure if they're male or female but I just got a regular baby JD and didn't know if this new on is a male if it's going to have problems with the other 2 if it's a male? Does it make a difference if the other 2 are different types of JDs and not...

Oh wow that's still a lot. I'm gonna still do one a week but take it down to 50% and see if things improve

Wait you do 80% water changes every day??

That's great! I was told that your tank might be thrown into a cycle if you to remove 50% or more so I've just been taking about 35% out and do it every Sundau. I just checked my nitrates and they are at 20 ppm which isn't so bad but I just did the water change yesterday. Sounds like a cool...

Thanks for your input. I've watched the JDs interact with eachother a lot and the get along very well I'd say. The biggest one is a blue JD and is very mellow , the pink/gold JD is more aggressive but doesn't chase the other fish, not even the tetras or danios, the smallest JD I believe is a...

The stocking is a bit high, you're right. The BN plecos are mating once a month and even though most of the eggs get eaten I still have a bunch of small plecos in there. I'd like to take most of them to the pet store

The ammonia and nitrites are always at 0 but the nitrates are pretty high, higher than I'd like them to be. I clean the canister out about once a month. What is ac?

This is what it looks like

I apologize, I thought you were trying to be rude.

I change the water once a week 35% and have one canister filter and 2 hang on back filters that equal out to about 1500 gph I have 3 jack Dempseys 2 angels a rainbow shark, Raphael cat, a couple danios and tetras, ornate Bichir, sailfin pleco and a few bristlenose plecos

Yeah I've seen all kinds of different info on this subject so I wanted to get everyone's thoughts on it. I added a small amount because my jack Dempsey has been scraping a little and getting some fungus on his face. It always goes away after a day but thought that a little salt might be good for him

Wow funny, how clever
