I would like to apologize for wasting your time. It looked like some kind of infection or something else serious. But to my surprise and relief it is rapidly healing, the bump is nearly nonexistent and the red is fading back to normal color. I appreciate your response.

I need help with my Senegal Bichir. Just a few minutes ago I noticed he has a red lump on his side. So far he is still swimming and eating normally. My water parameters are Ph 5.8 NO2 0 (NO3 60 Yes I know I will work on getting that down) GH 80-70 KH 10 Ammonia I don’t know but it should be...

okay thank you for the reply. I think I will move them to the 75 which has some good hiding spots.

Hello Everyone I am new to keeping cichlids this is only my second time and I need some advice. Recently I bought two male Electric blue Acaras (not Blue Acaras). I have them both in a 40 gallon breeder all to themselves. One is dominant and stays mostly in the front of the tank and whenever...

Yeah I was concerned about that but not just because they are similar but because of the size difference. I have seen a YouTube video of a leopard climbing perch living with a snakeskin gourami and there was no aggression. However the leopard climbing perch was also an inch bigger. So I know...

I am upgrading to a 75 gallon aquarium soon and I want to add an African brown knifefish and a leopard climbing perch (aka leopard bushfish or African spotted leaf fish). My concern is I also have a 5 inch snakeskin gourami going into the 75 gallon and I know they can be aggressive especially...

Hello everyone I hope I am in the right forum category please forgive me if I am not. I have a question about substrate. I plan on getting a Senegal bichir and I have heard that they sometimes eat small aquarium rocks by mistake and can die. So I was considering sand and decided I would not...

Thank you for the info.

Thank you!

I need some help identifying a plant. At the pet store it did not have a given name. I tried to look up some freshwater aquarium plant pictures to see if I could recognize it but had no luck. I added a couple of links for the pictures. Can anyone please tell me what this plant is...

I have been considering getting a pair of convict cichlids to breed. I have done a lot of research and have been unable to answer a few questions. I will be putting the pair in a 40 gallon breeder and plan on using a divider to put the breeding pair in 30 gallons and the older batch of fry in...

Okay I just got my test results from api 5 in 1 test strips. I listed the numbers as a range since I find it hard to tell exact numbers based on color. GH=20 KH=80-120 pH=6.8-7.2 NO2=0.3 No3=20 (or less) I think the pH is good how about the NO2/NO3 and hardness. Three days ago I put in...

Also I would like to add that the cloudy white is not very distinct in her eyes and I can see it on her scales at the right lighting and angle. It does not look like cotton or salt grains the picture may be a little unclear it looks more like a film over her whole body. I got her to eat some...

I am not sure if its cloudy eye I have added a picture so you can see. Also I do not want to get another female or two so in this case do you think it would be better to return one fish or keep both and see how is goes? also I have an update today the female came out to eat. She was able to...

Three days ago I got two snakeskin gouramis as the first fish in this aquarium. Based on fin length and shape one is female and one is male. I wanted snakeskin gouramis because I read that they are one of the more peacful gouramis. The male is doing great however the female looks a bit rough...
