I can't tell... how do you??

I have a 150 Cichlid tank, established for 1 year. It has black gravel. I just noticed the other day some white specks on the top of the gravel. ?? Fish all seem fine. No ich anywhere. Is it a fungus? Calcium or salt? They are pretty much scattered throughout evenly. I tried to attach photo.

I have an African Cichlid tank with 2 fish that have sunken belly. Neither had it when I bought them. One is a blue dolphin and the other is a red dragon. They look normal, act normal and eat. However I think they are continuing to get more sunken. Today I'm thinking my red empress may look a...

I have a 4" dragon blood peacock that started a week or so ago hiding most of the day. Won't eat and seems to b breathing a bit heavy. All other fish are great. He does not appear to have any signs of bacteria, fungus, etc. No fins are torn and appears to b left alone. Water quality is very good...

I bought this Cichlid the other day cuz I thought he/she was pretty. :) but I don't know what it is?! I want to find a bit more info on it before I put it in my house show tank. Thanks for any help!! :)

I have a 150 gal African Cichlid tank. I had 1 blue dolphin approx 4-5" long and is generally peaceful. Yesterday I introduced a few new fish to the tank, including another blue dolphin which is approx the same size but a bit more of a hump on it's head. Since yesterday these two dolphins are...

How do I get the dirt out of my wet/dry bottom? There is a lot of debris in the box (where the pump then sucks it up into the tank) and I'd really like to clean it. Is it just dirt, or bacteria or something I'm not supposed to touch?

Is this stuff any good? Harmful? I have a 150 gal African Cichlid tank running for approx 6 weeks. Its cloudy and its not fully cycled yet. I've been doing 30% water changes routinely every 4 days as by then the nitrate is too high to leave. Yet, I'm being told my water is cloudy as I keep...

My 150 gal African Cichlid tank has an everclear 200 w/d filter. How much flow should I have thru the filter? (it has a valve to control the amount of water flow.) currently I have it wide open flowing 100% but not sure if I should (or understand) when or if it should be less. Tank is 6 weeks...

My 150 gal African Cichlid tank is approx 6 weeks old and still cloudy from day one. Looks fairly clear front the front but side view is hazy. I doubt I'm overfeeding - if anything I'm closer to underfeeding. We have well water (hard) and I'm now getting worried it's the water and it will...

How many African cichlids in a 150 gallon? I heard the 1" per gallon rule doesn't apply with cichlids as they do better in large quantities to redirect aggression. ??

Recently started a 150 gallon African Cichlid tank. Love the fish but quickly learned that pet stores don't know much about anything and they all contradict each other. Some private fish stores aren't much help either. I've latched onto a couple local breeders that have been so helpful but still...
