    Stocking the new 55g!

    I'm hoping since they are together as babies he spares them when he gets bigger! Any ideas on future additions? Maybe rummy nose, cherry barbs, glow lights .. Some other schooling fish?

    multiple dead fish! possible tank takedown?

    Hey everyone, So I've had a 55 gallon tank up for over a year now with a pair of jacks in it. They were doing well until I lost one from what appeared to be a bacterial infection. He had white stuff coming out of his gills, and stopped eating. So I took the other jack back to the lfs and...

    Sexing Convicts... HELP!

    Sounds like a good idea.. Will they leave their tunnel for the pot if its already made? I also think the jack made a little hole in one of the corners for itself... Still now sure if I have a male and female yet.

    Sexing Convicts... HELP!

    The 55g is actually short term until I find a good deal on a larger setup. Unfortunatly the pair dug a cave dead smack in the center! :hide: I'm watching them closely for now, but so far so good. I was hoping the jacks would grow a bit larger before the convicts mated so they would be able to...

    Sexing Convicts... HELP!

    One more quick question... I also have two small jack dempseys in the tank with them as well. I bought them all at the same time and they are they same size. If they convicts end up mating will the jacks be in trouble or think they will be able to get through breeding aggresivness. They get...

    Sexing Convicts... HELP!

    Thats what I was thinking... thanks! Just last night they dug a large hole in under the rocks in the center of the tank and built a wall in the front! I'm not sure if they are mature enough to mate yet, but they are starting to really stick around each other alot.

    Sexing Convicts... HELP!

    Hey everyone.. so I bought a pair of small convicts a while ago. The guy at the store was convinced it was a male/female pair (which is what I was looking for). They have since gotten bigger and hopefully easier to sex. I love the colors on the one to the right... is that the female...

    Fishless cycle ammonia help!

    How many shrimp for my 55?? Would shrimp be better than just adding my cichlids and doing a fish in cycle? I'm hoping the ammonia tomorrow is the right stuff... I just hate to not have an ingredients list... can't ever be sure there isn't surfactant in it.
