So today I noticed some weird things happening in my cichlid tank, a female kenyi and a female peacock are breeding... The peacock is actually picking up the eggs and holding them. Can those two different kinds of fish even breed? And they're both females!!! I've had these fish together for the...

Okay so I noticed little bugs swimming and landing on the glass of my 2 gallon tank (I have two baby crayfish in there) and the bugs kinda look like cyclops... How do I get rid of them? There's soooooo many! Also I have detritus worms in there (but all my aquariums have that) and I noticed a new...

Sooo my peacock just had babies (I have them in a breeder net right now because I don't have another tank, and I don't want them to be eaten. I have about 20 of them and I want to know what to feed them, how often to clean the breeder net, how to clean the breeder net, how long will it take for...

I tired to get a pic of my jewel's vent I don't know if it would help though and a standard picture. Sometimes he/she will turn REALLY red like almost his/her full body.

Sorry, really bad pic but I bought this cichlid (I believe it's a Mbuna) from the "mystery" cichlid tank and I'm not sure what kind it is, it kinda looks like some kind of zebra mix but it's got these really pretty stripes on its tail and a black stripe going along it's dorsal fin kinda like a...

The pet store told me he was an auratus cichlid but he's got weird colouring, like half male half female colours. He's about 3 inches so maybe he's not fully coloured yet? Or is he just a mutt?

I want to breed my African cichlids (I've already had one female hold for a bit but I think she swallowed them) my tank is an 80 gallon with peacocks and Mbuna. I don't have a separate tank to put the babies but I do have a breeder net. How can I get them to want to breed? I have a high ph and...

So I bought this fish awhile ago at petsmart and they said he was a red peacock... He's not red or is he a peacock. Can anyone tell me what he is? Is he a mutt? I know he's male idk if that helps.

So about a week ago my fish were showing signs of ick (white spots on fins) so I raised the temperature, added a bit of salt and treated them with ick medication and today I noticed one of my fish still has white spots on his fins... He seems to be the only one in the tank with it and he seems...

I was reading the ingredients on my cichlid food and the first ingredients are corn and gluten stuff. I googled good cichlids foods but everything that came up I've never heard of or seen it for sale, maybe it's only available in the US. So what are the BEST ingredients that I should be looking...

So I made my own cichlid food (I'm still feeding them their regular cichlid pellets) but I just wanted to make them a treat. It consists of peas, zucchini, a bit of celery, a bit of blood worms and brine shrimp, and garlic. I blended it up and put it in ice cube trays to freeze it so I can use...

I posted this on the breeding thing and I got no replys, I'm starting to get really worried about my cichlid. I can't tell if she's holding or if she has bloat. I thought he was male because she has egg spots but now I'm not sure. She's active, seems healthy but not really eating. Her neck isn't...

I got a new cichlid from the ast cichlid tank and I tried to look online for the type he/she is and I can't find anything. Is he/she a mutt perhaps? so I was moving him into my cichlid tank so he was a bit stressed but when he was in the pet store he was much darker.

So I'm setting up my new 75 gal cichlid aquarium (I'm waiting for it to cycle right now) and I put aragonite sand in the tank and it made the water super cloudy, so I used this crystal clear stuff in the tank and it seemed to work a bit but now I have this nasty stuff clumping at the bottom...

So I have two albino strawberry peacock cichlids and they stopped eating (I think because of stress because they were getting bullied by my other cichlids) so I moved them in my 15 gal hospital tank (the cichlids are only about 2 inches) and they're still not eating, they've been in there for...

Can I used plants for oxygen in my cichlid tank instead of a bubbler? I so far have a corkscrew plant (that's the plant I'd be using) because they are the cheapest I can buy just in case my cichlid decide to eat and tear apart the plants. So far the one I have has been left alone. How many...

My barbs are bloated, my crayfish died (she was bloated) I found this white jelly stuff. Should I put parasite medication in my tank? And can I get the Parasite? Also how did I get this? It's not letting me post a pic but theres a pic of it in another topic of mine.

I fond these white things that feel slimy and kinda squishy in one of my aquarium decorations. What the hell is this? Currently in this tank i have 7 cherry barbs and a cory and I do have detritus worms that I can't get rid of. Could it be from the worms? heres a pic.

Anyone know anything about cherry barb breeding? One of my female cherry barbs has a fat stomach. It sounds like she may be holding eggs. I don't have a separate breeding tank but I do have a breeding container (a container you put in the tank that the eggs/fry live in) do I put the female in...
