I've been keeping fw for quite a while but I'm curious in getting started with a freshwater tank... If I wanted to try a sw tank, what would I need? I'm thinking I'd like to do a 20 gallon with corals, maybe a fish. Lol But the main thing would be like buying cheaper small coral frags and...

The tank has been running for about 3-4 months and over the last couple weeks, I've been collecting fish to convert the tank over to an all male tank! Here's how the redecoration turned out! (I've also got about 20 mixed species to giveaway to anyone near Pittsburgh- ask and I'll PM you the...

Got my 20 gallon nursery tank setup and housing 11 baby Sciaenochromis fryeri

Haplochromis sp. "Flameback" Pseudotropheus cyaneorhabdos Sciaenochromis fryeri (Lumbaulo) Labridochromis caeruleus (Nkhata Bay) Iodotropheus sprengerae

Haplochromis sp. "Flameback" Iodotropheus sprengerae Pseudotropheus cyaneorhabdos Labridochromis caeruleus (Nkhata Bay) Sciaenochromis fryeri (Lumbaulo)

What do you think? I think it's a 'Johanni', but idk if the colors are right? My longest is about 1.7 inches and the shortest is just over an inch. None of them show any signs of changing colors, but i def believe they're in the Melanochromis family..

So I have this Sciaenochromis fryeri and I've been comparing my pics of it to a website that helps identify which geographical region your fish is from. Basically, how closely do you think my fish (the first 2 pics) matches the one in the last pic? Thanks!

So... I have a 75 gallon tank (older pic, there's like 20 or so more rocks in the now and adding more occasionally): Now before you tell me it's way over-stocked, read thru. Lol My stocking list: -5 elec yellow labs - 4 acei - 3 rustys - 2 kenyi - 4 johanni - 2 white labs Anyhow, it's more...

So I added 5 rusty cichlids to my 75 mbuna community tank, and a dang 1/2" johanni has been harassing one of them, so I made it a grow out/ safety quarentine tank. What do you think? Lol

Bout a couple months ago I got a cobalt blue (what I'm assuming) zebra cichlid and had it in a tank with some yellow labs. Recently I moved it to my 75 where it resides with 3 yellow labs (unsure of the sexes), a pair of kenyi (m/f), a pair of acei (m/f), and 5, 1" johonis (sp?) that I...

Please let me know what you think :)

Got the tank Valentine's Day weekend, and between a busy work schedule and wanting the tank to look perfect, I just finally finished it a few days ago!!! What do you think? Lol

I just got my 75 gallon mbuna community tank up and running; but after all the time and money I've got in it, I don't want to stock it with petco fish! Lol So what would be a good stock list that includes super colorful, exotic, and amazing fish? And where can I buy them online?!

Thinking of getting one. Lol

Pease rate what you think of my newest setup! Thanks!

So last weekend I was at my brother-in-law's house, outside poking around a construction site, when I found the most perfect rocks for my tank! So after 6 hours of cleaning rocks and rearranging, this is what I got :) Please comment!

I have a 75 gallon tank that I would like to make a single species tank- what would be a god, colorful, personality-filled, easy to breed fish?

Here's my dilemma: do I continue on working to make my 75 gal an mbuna community tank OR I do with a larger pair of fish as a breeding pair? I really like the idea of having lots of breeding fish. But the idea of having a big breeding pair would be cool. What are peoples thoughts?!

I have a 75 gallon mbuna community tank that I am in process of setting up. Would the Fluval FX5 provide enough filtration for the tank- I plan to over stock a little bit to reduce aggression. Thanks!

I'm in the process of setting up a 75 gallon Mbuna community tank. Feel free to give any ideas/opinions. So far just the right side is done- the left side is going to have a lot more rocks; I only wanted some on the right to make it look more natural and give enough swimming room. Also, any...

So I have a 38 gallon tank with guppies; there's about 20 sexually mature adults and anywhere from 30-50 babies/juviniles.. And I don't ever change the water!? Due to evaporation, I have to add about 2 gallons of water a week. I haven't had a fish die in over 2 months (when I first began...

I bought a new tank and stand today, and I plan on keeping an online journal of it; feel free to offer opinions and throw out some advice :) 2/12/2011: bought the tank and some accessories; 75 gallon tank, with; -250 watt Marineland shatter-proof heater -SolarMaxHE, 48" double-strip T5 with...

Hi! I'm new to the site and just wanted to say hello to everyone and get some advice. So after I get done here at work today, I'm going and getting a new 30 gallon tank. I'm interested in setting up an Mbuna community tank; now I know all the generals of aquarium care- cycling, nitrite, etc...
