Finally had my pair of kribs spawned over the holidays and so far all is well with the fry. Got lucky with these two as I picked them up on a whim hoping they would pair up. Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Hey folks. Just wondering what tank would be recommended as a breeding tank for shrimp. I am not looking for anything massively large. Something small and worth the money. I intend on setting this up with mosses and other live plants. Just need to know which small tank to acquire. Thanks Sent...

Been running my tank for well over 4 years now and have been through multiple moves and the ups and downs of the hobby. Finally managed to get a pair of bristlenose to actually spawn out of nowhere. Turned the lights on one day and found 7 little guys on top of the driftwood just chilling...

I was able to secure a deal with someone where I live who's upgrading to a large tank from his 46 so I will be acquiring a 46 gallon with stand and canopy along with a sump and all plumbing plus a skimmeramd programmable wave maker. Im going to look at possible lights for the setup as well this...

Hey everyone. I just picked up 4 cichlids, from my local shop that I have been dealing with for a long time and I just picked up what were labeled as Jack Dempseys. Based on coloration im assuming I have two males and two females. I know they do get bigger and I am in the works of expanding my...

So it looks like I finally managed to get a pairing of Blue Rams. The male never leaves this females side and chases the other female away. He's not even bothered by the male and female kribensis in my tank either. I have a lightly planted tank with driftwood on either side. And I also have a...

So I have four GBR in my 55 gallon tank and so far it seems two have paired up but the other male and female don't seem to be interested in each other. Now I know they require extremely excellent parameters and well established tanks. But I'm wondering if anyone has any good websites or guides...

Just saw two of my new german blue rams chase off one of the other two that are in my 55 gallon long and seem to be doing the cha cha around a rock I keep in the middle of my tank that is lightly planted in the middle. I'm thinking I have two pairs in my tank but one is getting ready to lay eggs...

Figured I'd like to see what others have in their tanks :) Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I have 7 medium sized angelfish in my 55 gallon tank and I'm just curious as to what smaller species I could add to my tank. I am running dual hob fluval C4 so I have more filtration then my tank requires. Anyone with experience with an angelfish community tank? Sent from my iPhone using...

Hey guys it's been over a year since I last posted. I finally just got my aquarium setup again as unfortunately some personal matters caused me to have to relocate. Everything with the aquarium is fine, I just need to get myself a proper heater for my tank. I have two smaller ones right now and...

Hey I'm sorta new to cichlids, especially having a breeding pair. I noticed one of my large red jewels picking up sand and spitting it in another location. In multiple areas. It's not overly aggressive just yet, the pair chase the others in the tank periodically. Does this mean they are looking...

Got my 11 jewel cichlids today. 8 juveniles and 3 adults. Here's some pics from my phone. Will use the dslr later.

Just wondering how the quality is on this camera. This is my turquoise jewel cichlid. I think he's pretty healthy. Any feedback is appreciated. Also I'm still stumped on what to add cichlid wise in my 55.

Hey so I'm restocking my tank as my fish passed on as I've been away working on the railroad and I currently have one turquoise jewel cichlid and a bristlenose pleco. What other cichlids could I add? I would like to avoid rams and add more color. But I know about territorial species. Any...

I recently redid my 55 gallon tank and acquired three turquoise jewel cichlids. 1 is very active, the other 2 like to hide. One will come out fairly often from its little cave under its piece of driftwood. The other rarely comes out at all and seems to enjoy just laying on the bottom on the...

So today I decided to trim my amazon sword plants as two if them are producing sproutlings with really nice roots. So I clipped them just under the bulb of the sprout and transplanted them into the substrate. Here a pic of both my sprouts.

So I got home from working on the rail road.... All the live long day, only to come home to find out my female kribs cornered my only male and bullied him to death according to the wife. So I called my lfs this morning and explained the situation and asked if I would be able to bring back the...

I just added 3 bunches of hornwort and I'm really trying to figure out how I should aqua scape my tank. I'm trying to find slate to make caves for my kribensis but right now it's very hard where I live. I am looking for suggestions on what I should move and not move. Also my amazon swords are...

So I'm working on my 55 gallon tank and I have recently acquired 6 kribensis, 3 males and 3 females. I am currently going to be adding 3 sets of caves in my tank along with live plants and driftwood. I got this short video of two females flaring I thought I'd share. http://youtu.be/xAmNosQxOmU

I believe this is a male and female kribensis. The larger one has a dorsal fin that is much pointier then the smaller possible females. No aggression towards each other just constant following and checking out areas in the tank. Comments or suggestions anyone? I believe I have 2 males and 2 females.

Can anyone clarify which sex these two kribs are? I have 4 in my tank but can only get pics if two of em. I'm trying to do it myself but I'm having a wee bit if trouble as one is bigger then the other 3.

Did my water tests today with a new master kit, didn't get a GH and KH test as my lfs didn't have it. Here's the results I got. What I'm confused about is the ph test and the high range ph test. The regular ph test gave me a 7.6 and the high range gave me a reading if 7.4 I believe. So my...

I'm looking for ideas for a cichlid pair that will be okay with black neon tetras, cardinal tetras and harlequin rasboras as well as two bristlenose plecos. I'm no longer interested in German blue rams. I've considered Bolivian rams but I'm on the ledge with those. I like the look of red...

I tested my ph in my tank and its at 7.6. I have Malaysian and mopani driftwood and I'm wondering what is another way to lower it naturally. I know there is aquarium peat available but can't seem to find it in my area. Does anyone have any other suggestions on how to lower ph? I would also like...
