    My Convict have Fry

    Yippie I finally after months of switching around tanks and like 3 or 4 different pairs and fights and beatings I finally have a pair of my Black Convicts that have fry. Yes call me crazy breeding Convicts but I have been trying for like 7 months. I have plans for the fry so do not worry about that.

    Blue Rams Questions

    Thank You and no I'm not ignoring your advice, I am simply searching all of the advice everyone gives me before even buying fish. I dont want to buy them and then find out they wont work in my aquarium. I will not have any Convicts in the tank with other fish, they are in there now just to keep...

    Wikipedia is not really a good source for anything, it's the first thing you are told in college. get from reliable sources please.

    Blue Rams Questions

    OMG what does this have to do with if I can keep these fish in a 10 gallon or not? Post your fight over the scientific name somewhere else. It has nothing to do with the questions I asked.

    Blue Rams Questions

    Well I dont have fish in the 10 gallon right now. The Black Convict I do have is going someplace else so the tank will not have anything in it at all after today. That's all i would have in the 10 gallon is 1 pair of Rams if i get them. Everyone else says 10 gallons wont work for just 2. So I'm...

    Blue Rams Questions

    I'm very inerested in the Blue Rams for my 10 gallon well established tank. But I have a few questions before I get these pretty little fish. I'm hoping here I can get some answers because everything online just gives me more questions. Can I keep 2 Rams in a 10 gallon? can I have like 3 small...

    HELP! I don't know how to help our Fish

    Wow I would stop treating with chemicals and start doing like 50% water changes every 2 or 3 days until it starts looking better. Then cut back to 35% water changes weekly. maybe change up which foods you give the fish every other day so it's not eating the same thing every day. It sounds like a...

    Mowana Cichlids?

    I'm not sure because i wasn't there I just know what she told me. She did spell it Mowana. I did find it on Livefishdirect.com but it wasn't real clear as to if they were their own classification or what. I'm betting he said Malawi and she misunderstood or forgot by the time she got home. Who...

    Mowana Cichlids?

    That's what I told my friend but she says he insisted they were called Mowana Cichlids. I think he was stupid and tried to sound like he was smart by telling her a load of crap thinking she would never know any different. Other then that I can't think of any logical explanation for the wording...

    Mowana Cichlids?

    A friend of mine visited her LFS recently, and the manager (I think it was) told her told her of a new classification of Cichlids called Mowana Cichlids. Well since either her nor I could find any information on (Mowana Cichlids) I'm wondering if there is such a thing? Or was this LFS just...

    Cichlid Wars

    I had the same issues with my Black Convicts I tried to pair up. They fought and fought till I separated them and eventually had to give them both away on freecycle. The fish as amazing as it seems will not forget their territory even if everything is rearranged on them. I suggest taking one...

    Normal Behavior for a Convict?

    I'd suggest getting a new test kit, you have to test for Ammonia. If the ammonia is high it will poison your fish and it will die a painful death.

    Stocking a 10 gallon

    well I was thinking more on the lines of Glofish until I found out they are just Zebra danios. I already have 3 of those and dont like them. Some I'm still searching for something. I'm in no hurry so I can research and find exactly what I want.

    Stocking a 10 gallon

    ok that would be something totally different then what I am used to. never even heard of the last 2 fish mention LOL. I will look them up online and see what they are and how to care for them.

    Need an Opinion on what to do

    Glad i had it tonight my Oscar decided he was going to have fun with my 1 remaining Convict that was in with him and I rescued the poor thing before any real damage was done, I think he just knocked it for a spin a few times but it wasn't swimming normal. I put it in the 10 gallon and even...

    Need an Opinion on what to do

    Well today I put them on freecycle and have someone picking them up tonight. The 2 most agressive Convicts that is. I put the little male from the 10 gallon in with the female they are the same size and they are getting along GREAT for now. Hope these 2 work out. I will now have a free 10 gallon...

    Stocking a 10 gallon

    As of tonight I will have a freed up 10 gallon. I have Juvie Black Convicts in it but am upgrading since they outgrew as babies. My question is what other fish can I easily put into the 10 gallon that are as hardy and easy to care for a the Convicts are? Hoping something with a lot of color. Oh...

    Future Planning

    I'd say no to the puffer fish as that's looking at a whole different kind of fish. I have Convicts and know a lot about the nasty temperments of the Cichlids. As they reach the breeding age all **** can let loose and 1 or more of the other fish will become target fish. I dont personally have any...
