best cure for ich I have found. U.V. sterilizer. Nothing better and it does a lot more than just kill ich.

I am wondering if I should go with just 2 or maybe try 4 or 5. Oh and a large pleco of some kind. Oh a 75 gallon tank.

I have a red zebra male who after a water change gets so upset he digs a pit to the glass

about 20 years ago I came home after work to find my Oscar lying on my carpet and drying out no gill movement. I picked him up and the carpet fuzz stuck to him. anyway i droped him back into the tank thinking he was probably dead went to the pub. I get home and there is Roger (my oscars name)...

I have malawi mbuna and I love them but I if i had unlimited funds and space I would have a massive Jack Dempsey tank.

once kenyi start breeding they never stop. my tank is a freakin conveyor belt

my kenyi and yellow labs are breeding like mad. I have to purge some of my stock and would like to give them to a good home before i hand them over to petco.

I would never keep an old world with a new world. Plus cichlids are aggressive by nature but JD can be outragously so. Anyway buyer beware on this one.

i have a 13" sailfin pleco in my 120 gallon mbuna tank and he rocks it. Just acclimate slowly and whatever pleco you chose should be fine.

that really sucks. I do believe you heater was the culprit. if it stuck on (the closed position) it could kill all your fish. Plus if it did this and burned out its contacts it will seem like it just doesnt work anymore. Thus it is only 85 degrees when you wake up but it was higher through the...

i am a fellow malawi cichlid keeper. I have a 120 gallon in Magnolia.

120 gallon set up in magnolia

i am live in Magnolia.

bought a school of rummy nose tetras (10) and they are an awesome dither fish plus really tight schoolers. very happy with them.

I am having some luck with a Tiger Lotus, some Anubius and Wendti any others that I might try? they are herbavours so it has to be nasty tasting so my fish dont eat them.

I have a 15 gallon I use for my fry but most the time I just leave them in the main 120 gallon tank now. I have a large rock slide on one side of it and they ususally hide in there until they can join the general population. Then they do and I scoop them up and take them to the fish store. Dont...

I am lucky enough to have 1 of each of these but I like to keep my fish in colonies. Do these 2 species breed well in aquariums or not. My Keenyi, yellow labs and red zebra's reproduce at an alarming rate. Also I cannot find any of these around Seattle so I may actually have to buy these off...

I know it is an African cichlid but I don't know what kind.

my 120 mbuna tank My cat likes them a lot. :popcorn:

I have an mbuna tank with kenyii, yellow labs, red zebras, bumble bees, and synodontis petricolas. I have a yellow lab i know is holding and she has her hang out. well today I see a little fry swimming around that space and I am like dang she cross bred with my kenyii. Well my local Petco will...

I have a 120 gallon mbuna tank and a friend of mine suggested that i should get a skimmer to help keep my nitrates under control. What of it? is this a good idea? My understanding is skimmers for salt water only.

Yes if it was a male he would go to black. Dominant male of this species goes to it's breeding dress until it is dethroned.

Live plants help UV sterilizer is only real sure fire way of dealing with it though.

Try anubius attached to a rock or driftwood. It might out compete the algae for nutrients and mbuna don't like the taste. so a bite then they leave it alone. It will help with nitrates also, as most mbuna tanks are overstocked (a. because they are the coolest fish on the planet and b. because...

this is the first case of mixing I have had. I have a 180 gallon mbuna tank with a red zebra colony a yellow lab colony and a kenyii colony and they have never mixed before. I am not an evil scientist **** it.
