I have a brood of bandit cichlids (Guianacara Geayi) that are growing beyond my ability to accommodate them. I have 30 to 40 that are looking for homes. I've found that they are not a common fish (at least in the stores and circles that I frequent). Atlantis had a pair and I bought them on...

I am a fan of the rena XP canisters and have bought many of them. In October, I bought an XP3 for $89 and an XP2 for $69 from Big Al's. Now, the prices are $139 for the XP3 and $119 for the XP2. I have noticed that the prices are similar at all of the online stores I've found. To me, their...

I set up an old 10G aquarium to house some pregnant swordtails and mollies about a week ago. I have been trying like mad to get it cycled, but I'm not having much luck. I have 3 other well established tanks (~1 year). Here's what I have tried: Pulling filter media from each of the other...

1~What type of fish is afflicted? Orange male molly. It is not eating and repeatedly swims up and down against the glass, all day long, for the past few days. 2~What are your tank parameters (ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, temp, pH)? Please give exact values. 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 10 nitrate...

I need some help. I have a 55G tank that has 4 swordtails and about 8 more swordtail fry. In the tank with them are 2 pearl gouramis, 2 honey gold gouramis, 5 black neon tetras, 2 common plecos, 2 black mollies and 6 zebra danios. It's a planted tank that I ferilize and use CO2. About 2...

I'm battling ich right now in a 55G tank. I've had the temp at 89F for over a week now, and the ich is in it's 3rd cycle. I've added 6 TBSP of salt and it doesn't seem to be slowing down. I'm starting to notice some ragged fins and whatnot - I think the temp and/or salt is taking a toll on my...

I have a 10G tank that came with a small 10G top fin cheapo filter. I suspect that it's inabiltiy to keep things clean may be the source of some of my tank problems. So, I'm looking to repalce it. Any suggestions? One crazy thought I had was to buy a canister filter for my 55G and take the...

I have 7 zebra danios that are a lot of fun to watch. I was looking more closely at them and I noticed that one has a whisker that starts at the back top of its mouth and protrudes down about 3mm or so. At first, I thought it swallowed a floating hair, but it certainly looks like its a...

I debated whether this should go here or in the sick fish forum... Anyhow, I have lost all of my swordtails to bacterial infections - 5 of them. I have 7 zebra danio, 2 plecos and 19 baby swordtails that came before one of the mommas died. My question is this: what can I do to prevent new...

Does anyone have a picture or description of a baby pleco? I believe I have one in my tank. I was looking around for little zebras, and I saw what looked like a little black sliver stuck to the glass. Upon closer inspection, it has a head with eyes and a long tail. Any tips on raising the...

I have a 10G tank that I'm using as a quarentine. It's not cycled (not is my 55G). I have had a few swordtail die in the 10G - one from a big lesion I can only assume the other was from ammonia poisoning. Anyhow, the male swordtail has ich and is not eating and just slowly moves about the tank...

I've been having some serious bad luck with my swordtails. I currently have one that has a white lesion on one side of her body. It looks bleached - like the scales have been damage. She's been in a very peaceful tank - in fact her early tankmates died of something similar, though around...
