no, never had to deal with anything like this so didn't know what to do :( will get some asap if it might help :)

hard to tell, but looks like originating from beside nostril - not sure though it appears to be tearing flesh a little as it grows though :(

my sp.44 has been growing this from his face for a couple of months now. Slowly getting bigger and bigger. He's my favourite guy so was really just hoping it would go away but shows no signs of it. Has anyone ever encountered something like this?

what about the Frontosa? Do you think he will be ok by himself? Just some of the stuff I have read says you need to add more than that

Yeah I was considering painting the back, but I was impatient to start with and now dread the effort that it would take. What are your opinions about black backgrounds? I was thinking of using Velcro to hold it on, I am tempted just cause of the convenience. I'm thinking black is the way to go...

well this is lonely.... any advice or opinions? and yes that is spongebob

Yo all, finally got my tank near complete. It's been running for a couple of months now, it has a Fluval 406 and a Fluval G3 as filtration. My stock is: 4x Bistlenose Catfish Neolamprologus leleupi 4 Peacock (Red, Blue, Albino and Yellow) Melanochromis Maingano/Melanochromis cyaneorhabdos N...

what is he? I really want to add one to my new tank

No worries, wasn't disputing that is was the species. Although in hindsight perhaps 'strand' was a poorly chosen word, colour morphs is better :)

Yeah but there are at least five different strands of them, most get yellow stripes, at least 2 get white stripes instead Cichlid Profiles

The colours depend on the kind of Duboisi, but the they certainly lose the spots and look very different when older

Ok, so this is what I have decided on... I think My tank will be a 152x40x65cm 395L tank and hardware wise (initially) I am going a Fluval G3 (700-1400lp/h) and a Fluval C2 (450lp/h), then a Jager 200W heater. I will get the wavemaker soon as my tank is set up.... and my bank account recovers a...

/ has anyone used one of the Fluval G3s? - what did they think of them?

What are peoples opinions of the Eheim filters? They appear to use less electricity but have less lp/h turnover. I would have taken this as a negative but a guy I was talking to at a store said that out of AquaOne, Fluval and Eheim, Eheim were the best by and far. Should I look at upping to a...

only issue with the aquaclears is they are more noisy aren't they? The tank will be in my bedroom that is why noise is issue. I haven't been able to find many of the aforementioned wavemakers on ebay, does anyone know of a good online site for fish gear? That is available in Australia

Thanks, don't suppose you could point me toward a brand wavemaker? I'm just not sure what brands are trusted with that, the only aquarium supply brands I only really know of Aquaone, Eheim and Fluval in general.

What power would you recommend for the power heads? 500lp/h range? 100lp/h? or would they need to be more?/Doesn't really matter?

And with Africans would there be any use of an 5w UV filter on my external? Furthermore, should I use a powerhead for water flow with cichlids or not? The reason that I was looking at LEDs over T5s is that the man at the speciality store (Jem Aquatics, Canberra, Australia) said the LEDs lasted...

I'm upgrading to a much bigger African tank in my room. The tank will be either a 4foot (220-275L), or a 5foot (395L). I have been shopping around a bit online and in store to get an idea of what hardware I should incorporate. In terms of Filtration I have decided I will go external, but is...

maybe just 6 feet then?

I guess whatever is deemed necessary, but between 8-10ft?

So I have set my tank up fully, but have run out of ideas for what else I should put in. It is a 220L (58g) tank, lots of rocks, cichlid caves and such. As it stands I have 4x Bristlenose, 1 Green Texas, 1 Jack D, 1 Rainbow cichlid, 1 Green Terror, 1 Rusty cichlid [he is very agressive], and...

What about a powerhead? The bubbles created by the filter are sitting against the tank and stones, but is it a good idea to create water flow anyway?

my filter is the aqua one nautilus 1100, the guy at the store said it would be enough for two oscars??

60G tank. 6 days from full cycle I am thinking I would like to get at least one oscar, but unsure if I should go American or African overal. Do I need a powerhead? Help me buuiilllldddd!!!
