I went to Lexington yesterday and I bought a jewel cichlid. Being that I am going to put up my new 55 gallon this weekend and didnt have the room in the 10 for another breeding net I decided to put him in the breeding net in the community tank. Well I got up this morning and everything was...

Ok guys I am now down to 6 cichlids! The next question would be is a 29 gallon tank big enough for the 6. They are in a 10 right now and it is kind of crazy...I know that they shouldnt be but I have no choice at the moment I still havent gotten my 55 gallon tank. I have plenty of rock and...

What would be the right number of cichlid for a 10 gallon tank, 29 gallon tank and a 55 gallon tank......I'm new at this. I have 5 in a 10 gallon right now and want to get some more...I do have another unused 10 gallon tank. I am in love with these little guys. They are so pretty and I just...

I finally got some cichlids and they are gorgeous. I got them young. I didnt get any of the bigger ones. I figured that 5 was a good number to start out with and so far so good. They are all about the same size and they are quite friendly when they see you! I so far have been thrilled with them...

When I get my 55 gallon tank I am going to put cichlids in it. About how many should I get? The other question is can I put those 2 pictus cats in with them or will the pictus eat them??? I have heard a few different stories...one from the lfs and the other that works at walmart that has worked...

Does anyone have one of these fish? I just got one and I think that the lfs may be a little wrong about it. Said it was a community fish but then when I got to looking online I have read that they like to eat other fish! Should I take him back? He's gorgeous but I dont want to put him in a 50...

Well since I found out who the munchers (the cats) where I think I found a way to deal with the problem. I went and bought a dozen ghost shrimp for them but I know the girl pretty well and she gave a few more at no cost. So I brought them home and slid them to the bottom of the tank.... I dont...

Well it seems it is as I had thought all along....its the Pimelodis pictus....Pictus cat.....seems that they like small fish! But what gets me is that they started out small and have worked there way up! One danio,3 green tiger barbs and a goldfish! Bless my husbands heart. He bought me 2 of...

You all gonna love this one. You know the kind of problems I have had with my fish in the past like the paradise fish jumping out of the tank and into the sink and laying there for god knows how long.....but to get right to it.....I was taking pictures to send to my brother in law of the tank...

I thought that she might be getting some better the spot had healed and it looked think things were growing back to the way it should be and wham day before yesterday she got another hole in her.

Ok guys...I need some feedback on this one. I am about in inherit a 55 gallon tank with supposably everything. I know that I should clean it good and I am going to take apart the filters and clean them too and I will probably be getting new gravel just to be on the safe side. To get this 55 off...

My husband got me a crystal for Christmas for my tank. It changes colors and at night it is gorgeous! Thank god he didnt pay full price for it or I would have killed him. The thing was 30 bucks and he got it half price with a coupon. But even at 30 bucks I would have been thrilled. I'll have to...

There is something going on in my tank but I dont know what.I have been loosing fish to one thing.....there eyes disappear! I have lost about 6 fish in the past 3 wks due to this problem. I just noticed that one of my rainbows is missing an eye......lost a molly this morning....missing both...

Does anyone use Daphinia? Does it work well? The reason of why I am asking is that I have tried every medication possible on Pinky to get the spot cleared up. Right now I am just using Melafix to keep it from spreading. I figured that I would give this a try...what do I have to loose? Just would...
