Hi, no it has nothing on it that looks weird. Nothing at all. It looks exactly the same as it did when I bought it, just bigger. I've had fish with various fungus issues before, bloat problems, etc and it has none of the symptoms on the outside anyways.

Hello. I've had a Striped Raphael Catfish for a few months now. I got him when he was like two inches long, and now it's roughly double in size. Anyways at first, for the first few months I never saw it and figured that was a good sign. Three weeks ago it started doing weird things. Now...

:roll: Anyways yes that's the filter I have. I also have a MUCH smaller model that I use on the other side of the tank because Gary (my cichlid) eats from the slow gentle output. It pushes the food down to the bottom for him. Yeah he is spoiled sick rotten. Anyways thanks for all the help...

It's an african!

Hi Thanks for the help so far. Basically if I purchased 6 Green Tiger Barbs, my new count would be 27 two inch or so long fish (Well they arent all two inches yet, but eventually accounting for growth!) And one 5 and a half inch cichlid. I want them badly but I am just wondering if it's...

You guys helped me out a lot in my questions about what fish I could keep with my one single cichlid in his new 60 gallon tank. I got the most suggestions for zebra danios and tiger barbs. So I got a school of 12 zebra danios and 12 tiger barbs. So in my tank I now have the following: 10...

My light is just a regular tube light for the past three years. Its not many watts per gallon. But during the first two years I also use two compact flourecants (spelling) as well as the regular tube light. I know the tubes supposedly lose some effectiveness after 6 months or something but I...

Anubis...thats a good idea....I love anubis and didn't even think of that as an option. But it sounds right. Oh yeah and its one african cichlid.

Thanks for all the comments everyone! I did used to have the neons, but gave those to a buddy. For a year I had a school of 6 Cardinals as well (like someone mentioned) but I felt like they needed a larger school and possibly a larger tank, they seemed quite larger than my neons ever got...

Hi guys. This is my planted ten gallon tank.....it's like five or six years old. Currently only houses a SAE and four Amano shrimp, but used to have a school of ten neon tetras.... Java moss...anubis....chain sword....vals....I let the vals go insane. i like it. i dont fertilize, or...

What if any plants have you guys had good luck with keeping with cichlids? Or does anyone have creative ways of planting them to avoid the cichlids up rooting them? My male leaves vals and java moss alone pretty much. Any others though you guys have experience with being "tough" ?

Yes I went out to Big Al's yesterday and I got him spirulina flakes....the first bite last night he spit out but then he ate them last night, and had no problems eating them again today. So thats good! thanks for the full name!!! appreciate it. :D

Any replies if this guy is for sure a zebra cichlid or something else? I'd like to know if I have been told right all these years lmao :P

Well I was basically told he was a "Zebra Cichlid" but here is a pic, and I'd welcome a for sure ID is someone has it. He refuses pellets at all costs. And by that I mean I have fed him nothing else and he will simply starve for a week if I am only offering pellets. I'll try the frozen...

Another question about my Zebra cichlid Gary. He is SUPER picky. Before I got Gary he was eating nothing but flake food for three years. I am not on the up and up with cichlid diet but I'd assume some variety is better than just one food?? Anyways he will eat ONLY Wardleys Cichlid Flakes...

Yes I do NOT want any babies of any kind at any time. My roommate had a large tank with many cichlids and then MANY babies...and more and more and more. They are sooooo cute as babies but it's not something I am interested in dealing with. Gary will not pass his demon seed on if its up to me...

Hello Yeah I did some research and reading on the Tiger Barbs and I like the variety out there. I DO like the idea of a tank with a variety of "pretty fish" but Gary's welfare is more important to me than that, so I am happy a fish that could work with him can also look good!!!! I just...

Yeah well I like the tiger barbs so I'll probably stick with that idea. thanks for all your help!

Any thoughts on rainbow fish for tankmates for this guy?

Thanks guys. I don't want ANYTHING to happen to this fish. It might seem stupid but he really is like a cat or dog to us and we do everything we can to keep him in tip top shape. He is totally gorgeous. I think I'll take your advice, and let him be the king of the 60 gallon castle. With...

Hi guys. thanks for your help so far. Well the two adults I have in this 2.5 don't look like my adult Amanos in my planted ten gallon. They are a bit smaller....(although full grown) and although I read cherry shrimp are usually red (especially females) these two in the 2.5 gallon are not. One...

Hello. I have a 4 year old blue Zebra male all on his own, he has always lived alone. He is about 5 inches long and quite a character. Anyways I recently got a nicer 60 gallon tank that I would like to move him into. What other cichlids might I be able to add? I realize that any of them...

Hello! Glad I found this forum. First a very quick introduction....I have a ten gallon planted tank (6 years old) and a little 2.5 gallon Betta/planted tank. My question is in regards to my 2.5 gallon. In it is currently one betta fish....driftwood....lots of java moss and two shrimp we...
