There is so much out on the market today, it's difficult to know. Some of the stuff is old and does nothing and some stuff is new. But I just saw this and wondered, if it's not true how can they advertise it. This is a direct quote from Petco's web site. I've always stayed with the better safe...

Here is the first picture of my White Lab Fry. Because of how white they are it was really hard to see them let alone get any photo's of them. But here they are at 2 weeks old and going and growing strong.

I have had my Angelfish set up for almost eight months. But after having Mbunas that will eat anything and everything the Angelfish are kind of discouraging when it comes to feeding. I finally bought NLS Finicky Fish Food and they are eating it better than anything else I've tried. But it's...

I know your all going to say if it turned yellow it's male. I normally would too, but she's already had fry, twice. So gender isn't the issue. She had her last bunch of fry a week ago. The next day I put her back in the tank with the others and she started to turn yellow. Over the next few days...

I found this article about different Cichlids, at the "Tropical Fish Center" It gives information on a dozen different Cichlids, Oscar, Angels, Rams. The one I found most interesting, mostly because I've never read anything like it before, was about Yellow Labs. This is what is says...

I had to leave for a few days and my daughter fed the fish for me. She fed them WAAAAAY to much and 3 days later I came home to not bloated but fat fish. It's a good thing I wasn't gone longer. I've been trying for two weeks to thin them down and it's slow going. I only feed every 2 days and...

I just bought a new never out of the box EHEIM 2236 Canister Filter, for $80.00. Was it worth it or was I ripped off? I haven't found the 2236 online, so I'm not sure what the full price is. So I was just curious if I got a deal or not.

Does anyone have a photo of a FEMALE Red Top Zebra? I've been searching for days:banghead: trying to find a photo of a female to show my LFS so they can order three female Red Tops for my Alpha Male Red Top. We've had Charlie for 1yr. this month and every time we go to the LFS they never have...

For the last few months, every time I did the PWC my biggest Angel, about 4", would spend the next 2 days swimming with his nose pointed south, not grazing in the gravel but near the surface. But he always flipped around to eat and he'd eat well. Then back over he'd go, then a day & a half later...

I have 6 Angelfish in 3 different sizes. 2 Half Black Blushing Veil tail the size if a nickle, doing great. 2 Gold veil Tail, a little bigger than a silver dollar, also doing great. And 2 Koi Angels, 1 Veil tail & 1 not, that are almost 3" tall. The 1 non Veil Tail Koi Angel is acting...

Today I saw our first pure bred White Lab Fry. They are so small I only saw one so far, but I'm hoping there are a few more of them. As soon as they can be seen I will post pics. But with white crushed shell/coral substrate and white fry, it may be a while yet before they can be seen in a photo...

Hi all, My family and I stopped by our not so LFS today, just to see what was new. And while we were there we found the last 2 Angelfish for my Angelfish tank build. They are beautiful Half Black Blushing Veil Tail Angelfish. I have a photo, it's not mine, but other than the fin length it...

I'm in the process of building my Angelfish tank stock. So far I have 2 Gold veil tail and 2 Koi colored Angelfish. And I'm waiting on an order of 2 Platinum Veil Tail and 3 Long Fin Albino BN Plecos. They are all eating and growing well, with no signs of obvious illness. But the biggest Koi...

My fry now 29 days old and doing great. They are growing like weeds, so it got me wondering. When do I change from fry powder to grow food? And when are they no longer Fry, but juveniles? They are all between a half and three quarters of an inch long.

OK, everything is going great in my 55g Mbuna tank, and has been for a while now I have 13 Mbunas and 1 BN Pleco. My female Kenyi had 15 Fry 24 days ago (hybrid). I have an Electric Yellow and a White Lab about to have more Fry (not Hybrid). I'm not keeping any of the Fry. I just recently...

The newest addition to our family, 2 Green Dragon BN Pleco. We had a Common Pleco but he was of course getting to large for a 55g tank. So we gave him back to out not so LFS and got these little guys instead. They finally held still long enough for me to get 1 photo of each. I have a question...

We just got 2 adorable Green Dragon BN Plecos. Once they are big enough they will go in with our Mbunas. But for now they will remain in the QT until they are much larger. One is about an inch and a half the other a bit smaller. They were the biggest that the FS had. With their mouths being so...

In 1 55g tank I have Mbunas and I love them. They are so smart and interesting and a joy every day. I have a second 55g tank that I'm in the process of making an Angelfish tank. Both are cichlids but vastly different fish, so they will always be separate. Now, I just recently saw several...

Just a few pictures of the first Fry we've ever had in 7 years of fish keeping. There are about 20 or so, but they are to hard to count. They won't hold still long enough and they all look the same so you can't tell which ones you counted and which ones you didn't.

My Kenyi just had her Fry!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek: I only fond one so far but they are so friggin tiny it's hard to see them. the only reason I found the one was that Rainbow (mom) was out from under the terrace looking like she wanted food for the first time in weeks so I gave her some NSL Grow since...

I have 2 very different Mbunas and no idea what they are. One is almost all black with a very dark blue shimmer that only shows when the light hits it the right way and it has light blue fins. The other one is a golden brown with dark brown stripes. I've been trying to figure them out on my...

I think (almost positive) my female Kenyi is holding, Rainbow is a mouth brooder. Here are a couple of pictures. If I had video it would be better, because you can see her face moving around in a weird way. Plus Rainbow hasn't had her mouth open for a week. Most African Cichlids give this big...

This is a question brought up by my 10 year old grandson, Casey. I had no real answer for him :confused:, so I said it was a science thing. A very lame response, I know. So I'm hoping someone here can answer his question. Casey asked me this after I told him that our Mbunas and our Angelfish...

For the first time in 7 years, I had to euthanize a fish. He was the one of the first Mbunas we got. He was a beautiful Cobalt Zebra. When we would watch him at night with a flashlight he would glow an iridescent green. I wish it was something I could captured on camera. Anyway, I have an OCD...

We (my family and I) have started our Angel tank. I just posted a few pics. on my profile page. We are almost done. We have 2 Platinum Angels on order and I need to replace some of the plastic plants for softer fuller Silk plants. But the colors will stay the same. After those two things we will...
