Hi all - I have a 46 gallon aquarium with some Rainbowfish, an Acara cichlid, Blood Parrot cichlid, and some cory catfish. I really like plecos but each one that I've added died. Can't figure out why. Years ago, I had a common pleco and it grew to over a foot long. The ones I have purchased...

One of my fish has been having babies and I would like to try and save some of the fry. So I bought a little 2.5 gallon tank and filled it with water from my current aquarium. Since the water came from my aquarium and I only have six tiny little fry, does this tank need to cycle? Also, what if I...

Hi all, We recently lost our blood parrot cichlid and are thinking about a good replacement. We have a 46 gallon bowfront with five boosemani rainbows and one electric blue acara cichlid. The thing we loved about the parrot cichlid is that it would interact with us. When we came near the...

A long time ago I had a common pleco in my aquarium with a couple of jaguar cichlids. It grew fairly large and I really liked the look of it. So I decided to get a pleco for my new aquarium and I wanted something colorful so I bought a gold nugget pleco (wow... too expensive!). Little did I know...

Hi everyone, I recently set up a new 46 gallon aquarium. The first fish I added was a redtailed shark, which I thought was a community fish so long as you have only one shark in the tank. I then added two german blue rams, which I really like. They were very curious and always hungry. Then I...
