Hey guys! I recently picked up a 55 gallon tank to hopefully raise and breed Saulosi mbuna in it. But i figured id see what other fish are out there for this tank size just incase something peaks my interest. I have a 75 gallon mbuna tank already and theyre great, but i havent tried anything...

I have a my 20 gallon thats been struggling to keep any nitrates from the plants i have in there. It makes me curious if that could be a reliable system if set up to prolong maintenance since there wouldnt be any waste accumulated? I only have low to medium light with java fern, a few anubias...

I have had corries dieing with white fuzz on them and fin rot. Does anybody know what these spots are? I noticed that the driftwood peice I had purchased had a few on it after I had put it in. I didn't think much of it but now it's on my other price of driftwood that never had any. Any ideas...

I don't see any signs on any other fish but this seems like it's been growing for a while. Fungus? Spreadable? Best medications to use? 10 rummynose tetra 9 panda corries 3 guppies 1 platy 10 Amano shrimp 1 nerite and tons of MTS and ramshorn snails Low light planted 20g long tank Sent from...

I am entertaining the idea of trying to breed some fish. My PH is around 7.8-8. I have african mbuna, but due to the possibility of some of them cross breeding, i wont be doing much with that. More as a hobby and to see what comes of it then to make any real profit. Am i pretty much stuck with...

A broad question, I know. Let me explain why I'm interested quick... I've spent the last year sinking deeper and deeper into fishkeeping from small community to my adored mbuna cichlid tank. But I haven't had any fish breed for me yet aside from the guppies I started with. Although soon I hope...

Hello! I have a 75 gallon tank with some younger mbuna. I was wondering what size your mbuna started breeding because i would have thought theyd start by now. Everyone seems happy, aside from my 2 male red zebras bickering from time to time until i find a good home for them (managed to end up...

I am looking for small community fish that can be kept as a single of that species in a community tank. Currently my tank is a 20 gallon long (30x12x12") and I have 10 rummynose tetra, 9 panda corries, and two male guppies. Just looking to maybe add one or two single other fish to add to the...

20 gallon long tank (30x12x12") with aquaclear 30 and 20 filters (Can switch to a 50 if useful), planted with low light plants without co2. Im not sure if i want to add anymore fish or keep things nice and quite waste-wise, but currently all the activity is on the very bottom from the corries...

I kinda want to try my hand at some casual guppy breeding to see and have my male. This is a younger guppy we have in my girlfriends tank which I believed before to be female. But maybe it's a male with the more snakeskin body? Thoughts? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Just a quick question for you guys... I received a bottle of API Leafzone liquid plant fertilizer in the mail today and it was left outside to freeze and broke the seal leaking some out. The bottle wasn't fully frozen but I wasn't sure if any of the ingredients would be harmed from that...

I started seeing different clusters of these eggs in my tank and was hoping someone here could help me sort this out. I have 10 rummynose tetras and 9 panda corries (5 just added though and the other 4 haven't really settled in yet so I doubt them). Could it be the rummynose? Sent from my...

Hey guys! Heres the info on why im asking, but feel free to skip to the next paragraph for the actual question if you like. Ive had my 20 gallon planted tank up for a while now and am now finally getting to the end of stocking. I started with getting the groups of Rummynose Tetras and now...

On my girlfriends 29 gallon we run an aquaclear 70 with the regular sponge and biomax only, as well as a sponge cut to fit over the inlet as a prefilter. Her sponge is only a month or so old and she rinses it in tank water every water change, not squeezing it to keep the BB. This water change i...

I have a bunch in my little planted tank and like the idea of them keeping the substrate turned over a bit. I know mbunas will kill the snails, but these guys tend to stay in the substrate more. So has anyone ended up with some in their mbuna tanks? Im curious to see if the pros would outweigh...

I want to keep track of progress with my first planted tank and have been loosing track of timeframes, so here is my build thread so i can keep track. I also am very new to growing any kind of plants, so i am bound to have a few questions and concerns, which i will also post here to keep things...

Hey guys, finally picked up my first batch of panda corries and wanted to double check on my feeding methods. I want to make sure they get adequate food, but am also aware they tend to be slow eaters, so i dont want to leave anything or too much untouched. My tank has 10 rummynose tetras, 1 male...

Or is it just tiny roots? Here's a picture of the one Java fern roots, and a quick full tank shot since I know you guys enjoy seeing different setups. Just checking in because I haven't seen that in other pics so far. Also for future reference, would someone mind listing some trouble signs to...

Hey everyone! Ive researched this quite a bit but was looking to see if any of you has messed around with different filter media in the AC110 filters? I have a 75 gallon tank with two of these monsters. I run the large sponges in both, and in one i use a layer of filter floss and filled to the...

Hey everyone! Just got a new phone so i thought id see how good the camera is. Still impossible to get them to sit still long enough to get good pictures though lol The tank is stocked fuller than i want in the end, as i will be removing extra males as the smaller ones grow. Theyre all still...

Hey guys! I have quite a bit of algae throughout my 75 gallon tank, which i dont mind as it blends the decor together to look more natural i think. But would that algae prevent good bacteria from being able to colonize on the decor and whatnot? I have plenty of biomedia in my two AC110 filters...

I just got the api master liquid test kit (previously used the nutrafin kit) and I'm wondering what you guys think my results mean. The results sheet vary from Orange to purple but I got like a koolaid red result. There is brown for 8.2, but I have been hearing our water is around 7.8 and the...

Hey guys. I started my first planted tank not long ago with the hopes of making a more stable and desirable home for my future fish. I am going for a low tech, low light tank with as many plants eventually as i can fit in there and still have growth. I know they will use nitrates and other...

Hey guys, ive been trying to find what the best light fixture would be to show off my mbuna fish colors. But everything online that i seem to find only really talks about bulb temperatures which i already am familiar with. I figured i could see what different lights you guys use and how well...

Ive wanted something taller/bigger to split my tank up a bit more for my mbuna cichlids, but could never find anything tall enough. I have around 16 of those "Underwater Galleries cichlid stones" which i think are great, but pricey. I like that they dont displace really any water like real...
