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.

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.

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 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.

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.

If i am opening a new thread should about a african cichlid breeding problem should I post in Breeding or Cichilds. The nature of mouth brooders being so different from other fish makes this a confusing question for me.

I just found out my yellow lab that is holding is holding mixed fry. My debate is should I remove her to my 15 gallon nursery or just let her spit her mixed brood in the tank. I don't know who I can sell the mixed mbuna to and I really would like to use my tank space for some other fish. So if I...

Not much to say other than exceptionally bummed out. She was the only fish I have ever had a succesful spawn with and now she is dead way to young. My water is fine, I tested it. Moderately softer than normal for a Malawi tank but not bad, Ph good 8.0, ammonia 0 ppm, nitrates 30ppm, nitrites 0...

Is it ok/recommended to have something like a big piece of lettuce or a cucumber strapped down for the Mbuna to graze on? My Mbuna are always begging for food and i would just feel better if I could keep something like that in there. They do eat alge off the rocks like they are supposed to.

I have a 120 gallon lake Malawi tank. I purchased this tank used. It has a school of 11giant danios and 1 beautiful Sail fin pleco. The former owner already had the Ph setup for the syno catfish. I have since stocked the tank with mbuna. My question is though the water Parameters have not yet...

I have an ammonia problem. On the day before or of my weekly water change my ammonia is registering at .25-.5 ppm for the last 2 weeks before that not much if any readings of ammonia also my nitrate is kind of high in the 40 ppm range. It is an Malawi tank with mbuna. I am going to add a...

She has started eatting again and I don't know if I am supposed to get her out of the tank with her fry. It is a 15 gallon with some young synodontis petricolas that will go in my 120 tank when large enough. What do I do?

it has been over 3 weeks and my yellow lab is still holding. I moved her about a week ago to a tank I use for juvenilles. Should I harvest the brood? I am beginning to worry about her health. Not eatting for so long. This is my first experience with spawning let alone mouth brooding.

:thanks:I have a yellow lab holding for just over a week now. My question is that when should i move her to my 15 gallon holding/juvenille tank. My current tank is a 120 gallon with mixed mbuna cichlids. I want her to continue holding as long as nature permits. She is my first baby momma. My...

I have a 120g tank with a eheim 2128 pro2 for a african cichlid tank and it while rated for 150g is not enough for this tank. i am going to pick up a second filter and a canister makes most since for this tank. The question is do I go with the fuval 406 or a G6 (is it worth the extra...

would cuckoo catfish thread belong in the cichlid forums or in general fish? due to its association with ARLC.

african cichlid of some kind.

I am adding a second canister filter to my 120 gallon tank. The measurables are 48"x24"x24". The primary filter is a Eheim 2128 pro II my secondary is a fuval 205. Should my inlets be on the same side? This is just temporary as I am putting a 305/06 in my 36 gallon tank and just moving the 205...

I have an accidental rift lake tank. I now about the high pH and have managed to obtain that. What i don't know is do I use active charcoal in my filter or not? How many high pH rocks should I have (120 gallon tank)? How many synodontist petricola should I have? Feeding I have read about mawali...

I just bought a tank off craigslist and it is great blah blah blah but. He had it stocked with 11 giant danio 1 pleco and a synodonist petricola i noticed when i filled it and got it running again that the ph was high 7.6 or so. when I cleaned up the filter I found a bag of some white rock like...

I have some black dots on my aquarium filter return inlet and on some of my driftwood. I dont know if it is snail eggs or what. I have a snail infestation but that does not bother me. 120 gallon tank so total break down and clean up, especially since i just did that 2 days ago, is something i am...

i bought a 120 gallon tank from a friend and I am moving it approximately 25 miles. The tank has 10 giant danios 2 neons and a pigmy cat and pleco. I have a 15 gallon to hold the fish overnight after i put up the tank again. My question is when i set up the tank again can i expect to have to go...
