I've recently found myself the owner of a 15 inch clown knife fish, along with a trio of jack dempseys in a newly acquired 75 gallon aquarium. My question is, how often do I feed him/her? What do I feed him/her? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated, as though I've bred plenty of...

Maybe it's just mine but I've noticed that keyhole cichlids are really really awkward, both as far as cichlids are concerned and fish in general. At the moment I have three keyholes, a male female pair and another male cichlid. I've had them for over a year, the female and the lone male I've had...

My 55 gallon tank is in turmoil. Well, not really, but at the same time, really. The facts: over the past three days, I've lost a female gbr and a female swordtail. The male gbr is showing the same symptoms as the female did, and if predict his death. Things to note: a male kribensis cichlid in...

I'm planning to get a group of 6 juvie redbreast acaras in order to achieve a pair. The plan is either a 40 or 55 gallon tank with a pair of them and a pair of keyholes with some tetras, probably rummynose. Anyway, anyone with experience with laetacara dorsigera, especially in breeding, your...

I'm new to the whole "buying fish online" concept, and I was looking for some personal experiences with the auction site "aquabid." Anyone with an account, please let me know what you think about this site. Also, if anyone knows of any other sites (U.S based) that sell fish for relatively cheap...

I have a 55 gallon with a pair of jewels, some livebearers, and 2 clown loaches. Today I added a pair of angels from my other tank that refuses to spawn. These are about a year or so old and the male jewel is about 4 inches and the females about 3.25. The angels are bullying the jewels. And I...

A year ago this May, I bought my first two young angels. I got them some friends and they went strong. Some died over the months until there were 3 left. Then one day, arbitrarily, two of them attacked the third. I removed him, and the angels quickly proceeded to spawn. They ate that spawn, and...

Well, one day I was bored and decided to draw, color, and cut out life sized images of tropical fish. Since my kribs bred, the pair has had quarrels with each other, and to take their attention off of each other, in conjunction with having added two smaller juvenile krib males, I put the picture...

I have 0 experience with ponds, thought tons with aquariums,, and I was thinking of getting a pond. To start, I was going to bury a 21 gallon bucket and put water, fish, and plants in it just to get a feel for it before actually going with a full blown pond next summer. So, I was wondering if...

I'm trying for a planted tank. It's 55 gallons with a filter for 100 gallons, little water movement, the dimensions of 48"l x 12"w x 19"t. I have a light, but no idea what kind, (hand me down). It stretches the length of the tank, and is relatively bright, i believe flourescent, and contains one...

I know that we all love our aquariums... but there can never be enough aquariums! This is a thread to post not what your aquarium is... but what you wish it would be. Like mine, for instance, goes a little like this: 1000 Gallon (400", 24", 24") Substrate 1000 lbs sand Decor 2 Peices of...

I have a 55 gallon tank with anacharis (both types), hornwort, java fern, java moss, anubias, some peace lily, and a recently added red tiger lotus bulb. All seem to be doing fine except the hornwort is just breaking down and dying. I had it weighed down in the substrate, but now I've moved the...

I have to admit, I am a little impatient. But after a couple of months of waiting, my kribs finally had babies!!! Today I looked at my 40 gallon tank to see not 1, not 2, but at least 30 kribs in that tank. The 2 parents seem to be changing shifts every now and again. I saw; them today with at...
