Thank you all very much! I will keep you all updated! Going today to a local aquarium shop I found. :)

:) ok I look at the filters on Big Al's site and found the Cascade 1200 and some Eheim ones also. I liked the price on the Cascade much better though lol So if I medicate the Convict once he is alone in the 10gal what is a good medication for his fins to grow back nicely? Also the jewel...

Ok I checked Big Al's and they have good prices. I will get stuff from them :D I see now what you mean about the Convict :( and I understand, but what can I do with him? I am afraid that if I take him back to the pet store, they will just toss him or something since his fins are still abit...

I will do the ammonia test again as soon as I get the Prime. Is bigalsonline.com a safe and fair site to get the prime, and heater at? Also, my brother is in Texas right now and I asked him to look out for the texas holey rock since he is there. Is that a god rock to have in there with the pool...

Oh I really like how the pool filter sand looks like, and as long as it is completely safe for the fish then I will be happy with it. I also passed by a garden center today and saw that they have very nice rocks that I think could work in the tank. I live in Florida, are there any special...

Thanks for you reply again! I spent a lot of time reading about the cichlids last night and really trying to understand how to care for them. It is sooo much I need to know about. One thing that I found out is that the ph level in the water needs to be rather higher that it probably is in my...

So no live plants would be better for them? or would it not make much difference? Also if I get the 55ga tank what heater shoudl I get then? As for the rocks, I am completely lost there. What kind of rocks are better for them and where do I get them? Thanks!

Hello everyone, I really need a lot of advice, and I know this is the right place, and hopefully you nice people can help! :D I have a 10 gallon tank which is now too small for my cichlids I think. I also think I don't have the right stuff in there as in plants and decorations. When I first...

Hi and thank you for the replies. Yes I do have ammonia in my water due to the Chloramines I guess. I tested the tap water that sat for 12 hours and my ammonia is at 1ppm. A few hours after the pwc I did yesterday, I tested the water in the tank again and it was back up to 1ppm, and I know that...

Thanks! I will do that... I was surprised to see ammonia in my water, but I do remember something a few weeks ago in the news about the water in my area having high levels of some toxic substances, I just cant remember what they were lol. However I will leave a glass of water out overnight and...

Ok I did the pwc 50% and added the water with the aquasafe. I waited a while and did the water tests for ammonia and nitrites again and the ammonia went down to .5 and the nitrites are almost at .0. I also tested my tap water alone just to see what the ammonia was on that and it was at 1.0...

Oh ok I will return the other products and get the heater :) . once I do this should I be able to see any improvement in the fish soon, if at all? I mean in them getting their pretty color back :( ...

Oh thank you very much for replying to my posts! I will start pwc immediately. Also should I buy a heater for the tank? Another question is, when I do the water changes should I let the water that I will be putting in the tank sit for a while with the aquasafe, or just add the Aquasafe to it...

Hi, thanks for the reply, :) I will start doing the water changes immediately. I didn't know that the AmQuel+ and Cycle were water conditioners also. The lady at the store gave them all to me :( so from Amquel+, Cycle and Aquasafe, which is the best to sue in my cituation where I know the...

Hello, I am another noob that needs help, and another long post :oops: After my daughter got a fish at the fair, we decided it would be nice to have more fish so that that little fish, wouldn't be lonely.... So we go to petsmart and take advice from the store girl that works at the fish...
