Hello, so I have recently purchased 2 Laetacara Dorsigera 2 days ago, it was listed as L. Curviceps though but after doing some research they were L. Dorsigera. Anyhow, these are straight from the wild from Brazil as the fish owner said so I let him picked a pair for me to take home. They were...

I want to start a tank for a pair of these guys and I have trouble sexing them. I know males are larger with longer extended dorsal like bolivian rams but I also heard that the female will have two black dots on the dorsal fin? What is this about. How do I not mistake this type of curviceps with...

I am trying to get a pair going and currently have 2 males and 2 females in the same tank. I recently purchased the females, they looks healthy and are swimming pretty well. However, it's been a week and I haven't really seen any of the females eating the flakes. I think they might be part wild...

Hello, so I recently purchased this peat moss planning on adding it to my filter to soften and lower the pH of my 16g tank. I am currently breeding bolivian rams and glowlight tetras and I found it to be more successful with softer water and lower pH. Anyways, my concern is that on the back of...

Hey, my angels are about 6months now and the female is already cleaning a leaf and her stomach is getting quite large. However, I think I might have took the wrong male from the community tank of when she started pairing. Is it possible that over time she will repair? She is showing interests in...

I recently just changed 80% of water in my tank and disturbed some particles up on the substrate. Now my tank is foggy and I was wondering when that will clear up etc. Are there anything I can put in my filter to speed up the process? ;)

It looks like thin cotton growing off the wood, is this normal? Will it harm fish and when will it go away. I know on grape wood it rots but this is Malaysian i believe.

I have one of those pre-cycling black substrate which is supposed to be good for plants because it contains iron etc. And I have 2 amazon swords in there with java moss. I want to add more plants though, what do you guys recommend? My light is 15w 8k 18 inches bulb and I really want to upgrade...

Okay so I just went to the lfs and got two new plants. One is an amazon sword and the other one is Red arrowhead plant (Regina Red). I came home and researched the arrowhead and turned out the plant is not truly aquatic and should not be submerge underwater for long?? Some say the leaves are...

Okay so I have recently bought a 4lbs driftwood to add to my new 16 gallons community tank. There is a pair of mated Bolivians in there with 2 schools of glow light tetras and green fire tetras. Everything is going really well in my tank, in fact, my Bolivians just spawned a couple hours ago. My...

Which schooling fishing should I put in with my pair of bolivians? I have a 16 gal tank right now. I was thinking of maybe 5-6 rummy nose tetras?

Hey, I notice that my amazon swords are starting to turn brownish yellow ever since I added a bubblator in the tank. Is this the problem? If yes then when should I turn the bubbleator off?

Okay I removed the male because he was beating the female up but the male is a bad parent anyways. He ate my last 3 batches. Anyhow, the female is cleaning her eggs now (I hope she's not eating it). I was just wondering when do I actually start making live bbs? When they are wigglers? How many...

I just redecorated my aquarium today with some live plants and a 10 watt compact fluorescent bulb. The tank is only 2.5 gallon with a betta in it. I really enjoy my plants and want to keep them green and alive. Is FloraPride good for that? It has 3% soluble potash (K20) and .19% water soluble...

it's white and it's iching him badly. Is it fungus? how can i cure it. It's causing his scales to enlarge kinda

Is this normal behavior for a pair during spawning? Is this part of a spawning ritual? At first my male chases the female a lot until she hides near the top of the tank, and now she is being aggressive and chases the male this time and he's behind a rock. I've seen this behavior last time during...

I'm about to get a 15g tank or so and transfer my pair of bolivian ram in there. What are some good tank mates that will not be a big threat? How many should I get, I want to breed my rams in there and let them raise fry in there also.

Is that a good idea or no? I just got the bottle of distilled water from safeway. Will the eggs/fries survive in this water? THe reason why I'm doing this is the pH of my tap water is 7.4 or so and it's a little high in my opinion. Distilled water ph is 7 and will adding this bring down my tap...

Hey guys, I'm new here and I have this question on my mind that concerns me. I have a pair of bolivian rams and they've spawned 3 times now (3-4 months ago). They were unsuccessful batches since my male ate all the fries. My male is ready to spawn again by showing all his colors and...
