I have had my corys with my cichlids for three years. I have not had any problems. I have a blood parrot, a yellow lab, and two of the common ones you see in the assorted cichlid tanks. The only aggression that I have noticed is my largest cichlid my chase the other cichlids from time to time...

I have had a blue crayfish in my cichlid tank for about a year. The fish that I was most worried about was my corycats. So far so ggod. None of my fish have been eaten or died since I introduced the crayfish.

I like the plastic bag idea. I also like to use duct tape to to tape around the filter to make sure my blue lobster does not get out. This seems to work ok and I have not had any escapes yet.

I have to agree with Smcoyle87. I have a tank with a blood parrot and tiger barbs. In my opinion I dont think that the blood parrot could catch the barbs. I would ensure that your parameters are ok and than try adding more barbs. I bet that the barbs died first and than the other fish fed on...

Does anybody have a trick for cleaning aquarium decorations? I clean my fish tank out every third week. Recently my decorations have been getting black algae and debris on them. I spray them off with the sink and rub them with my fingers but I cant get all of the black of. The flat objects I am...

Since cory cats are supposed to be kept in groups, I was wondering if I can mix the different types (emerald, pepper, albino), or is it better to keep the group all one type? I was thinking of getting a group of nine. Thanks:thanks:

Sounds like good ideas. Do you think getting a 200 to 300 gallon tank with a full set up for salt water plus stand and canopy is unreasonable for $3,000?

Hi, I am looking to get a new aquarium. My 55g just doesnt cut it anymore. I have about $3,000.oo to spend and I am looking at getting the largest tank that I can for my money. I need to get one with a nice furniture style stand and canopy. Does anyone know where the best spot to start...

Hi, Im looking for a good test kit that will test for everything. I am really curious to know what the hardness of the water that I am using is as well as all the normal stuff such as ammonia and nitrates. Is there an all in one test kit? Thanks:fish2:

My Angelfish is an agressive feeder. I am sure it would quickly eat the guppies. It would take a while but he would end up eating the neons as well once he caught them.

So I have a 55G fish tank with several cichlids. I have noticed that the water temperatures have been rising to the upper limits of their temperature range. I have completely disconnected my heater. I have also been adding ice which means that I have to constantly treat the water to remove the...

Thanks for the advice. I think that I am going to start with fresh water, but I want to have the option of converting to salt water at a later date. I just started shopping around. I can't wait to get a new tank. I've had my 55g for four years and I really want more fish. Im sure you guys know...

I currently have a 55g tank. I am looking to upgrade. I want to buy a new tank. I have roughly $3,000 saved up for my new tank. I would like to purchase a new one. I also want it to have a nice stand and hood, so I can get the wife's blessing to display it in the living room. Without counting...

I had a Dalmation Molly that was very peaceful. I once sususpected him for going after my neon tetras, but soon discovered that it was my red eye tetras. I think that he would do well eith the fish that you have listed.

Hi, I have had my blue lobster for about five weeks. He is doing great and is fun to watch. They will greedily eat shrimp pellets. There seem to be a lot of different information out there about them. Many people talk about how they are deadly killers, and will eat any fish that you have at...

I would shoot for feeding a small amount everyday. With that being said, missing a day is not a big deal.

I would love to have a kissing gourami. They are really cool.

My angel took about two weeks before he started eating. Now he is one of my most aggressive eaters.

I have had my 55 g tank for about three years. When I lived in California, I used to get this green algae that was really hard to scrape off. I have since moved to New Mexico, and now I get this black algae that usually will spray right off. Does anyone know what kind of algae it is, and why it...

The puffers are brackish wich means that they can not live in a salt water set up. They need fresh water that has a small concentration of salt in it. Think of it as amixture of salt water and fresh water.

I would recommend a couple of mollys. Balloon mollys would be cool.

Thanks for the advice. I think that I will try to get some snails for the tank. Its not like I have a major problem with algae, but I do get some black algae build up on my rocks and decoration. I just want to make sure it doesnt get out of control. My lobster seems to be doing fine. I hope...

Red eared sliders are notorious for breaking aquarium heaters. Just make sure that you conceal it under rocks or something else that they won't be able to get to it.

I have a 55 gallon tank with artificial plants. I want to start putting live plants in. What kind of bulb should I get for the plants? Can the UVB/ UVA get through the glass cover? Is a single strip light bul enough? Thanks for your help.

The blue crayfish would kill the bamboo shrimp in a 20 gallon. The only way it might work is if you had a huge heavily planted tank.
