Thanks for the help. I think I'll go browse these lights and see if it'll work with my tank. Appreciate the feedback! :D

I was wondering is there a special light for the aquarium that would make the colors on fish really stand out? I was looking in the fish store and it seems like the fish glow or look very vivid in their tanks. If anyone knows about lights I would love to know if it is possible to make the fish...

my cichlid pic This is my cutie pie sparkle; african cichlid.

Well, my new tank was supposed to be a parrot fish tank, but the fish were too shy, not very amusing, and acted as if they were dead when in the presence of humans. It was disappointing, but I have decided to keep African cichlids as I did some years ago. I posted an earlier picture, but the...

You can't see them all, but there are 6 cichlids in the tank. I don't think there is room for anymore without being cruel. I did add a nice big piece of driftwood with lots of holes for hiding. I am having an aggression problem at the moment. Thanks for the reply :-)

I do not have a female red zebra, that is the weird part. I have an electric blue, a jewel, an unknown, and a bumble bee. The unknown is a mix of two fish. He is kinda dark like almost black. The black one just ried to attack the electric blue (which is bigger). Do I need to add a few more to...

Gonna go with myspace I like myspace personally. I have found a few high school buddies on there recently. I also like that my friends and family can view my photo albums as often as they wish. It's just a little something to pass away a few minutes while surfing the net. I do however agree...

:confused: I just bought 5 new african cichlids today for my 56 gallon tank. The red zebra makes these weird shaking movements... he moves his head back and forth rapidly like he's having a seizure, or he has terrets syndrome. Is this a normal territorial behavior or should I worry about him...

Just got the africans today! Have had the tank a few months now.

Thank you all for your quick responses, I appreciate it. I really hope he is just scared from the transport, and hope he'll perk up soon. I have pretty good cover in my tank. 4 plants, and two big logs with plants attached. The petsmart tank he was fine in had no cover what so ever? I really...

Yes, I tested the water for ammonia today. It was yellow with a slight tinge of green. So, it may have a small stress as far as that goes. There is no nitrite or nitrate registering. The PH is fine, and the temperature is about 78-80 degrees. I have no air pump at this time- would that help? I...

I bought a new fish today (a blood red parrot) and when I put him in the tank, he just dropped down to the bottom and stayed there. He is currently hiding behind a plant and will not move or swim. Is he scared, shocked, stressed??? He was fine in the petsmart tank. I had petsmart test my water...

I went to petsmart today, and had my water tested by them, and they said my water was fine. I thought it was that bad ammonia tester, so I bought my first parrot fish ($25 fish). When I brought him home and put him in the tank, he went straight to the bottom. He is hiding behind one of the...

I just wanted to ask if anyone else has used the Mardel live ammonia tester that hangs in the tank. It has been reading cautionary levels of ammonia for almost a week now. I have done many 50% water changes and have been using ammo lock like crazy to try and ensure my fish don't swim in 3 mile...

Hi everyone, I just bought a new 56 gallon column freshwater tank not even a week ago. I have had a previous 55 gallon as well as a 10 gallon, so I am not brand new to the hobby, but it has been about 5 years since I have had the large tank. I kept community fish, african ciclids as well as a...
