I have had my 55 gallon African Cichlid tank for a while now and I have been bit satisfied with the look of the tank but I have never been content with the look of the tank. I have been thinking about adding artificial plants but quickly stopped thinking about it as they would instantly uproot...

I know for a fact that it is not the conditioner since I saw the residue before I added anything to the water, like conditioner and ph riser.

Today I got the Aqueon Siphon and since my tank was due for a clean I decided to clean the tank but noticed a problem. After I cleaned the tank and replaced it with water, I noticed a oily residue at the surface of the water. I have yet to clean the tank again to remove the residue since I...

Oops forgot to mention that they are fake plants, will it work on fake plants. The fish only really uproot the plants when I feed them (They get exited), I guess the solution is to stop feeding them, lol. I plan on taking out the slate as a whole whenever I need to clean the tank, don't know...

After looking at the rapid growth of cichlids, I am thinking that it is finally time to expand the entrances of my slate rocks. My plan is to get two Texas holy rocks to put on each side of the tank and keep the slates in the middle. I have been looking at two glue that say they are great for...

That is why I am confused, in the first picture it is the bottom one and in the second picture it is the one in front of the OB Peacock. It really isn't a black, it's more of a very dark blue and the line that goes across is kind of like a violet color. I'll wait until tomorrow to take a picture...

No the picture I took of the first one is not of the Johanni, since when I took the picture the Johanni was next to this cichlid but out of frame (It just looks blue cause of the flash but it's really black). I already know that my Johanni is genuinely a Johanni, so that's not a problem. Also...

Yeah I certainly know about their temperament.

So I bought 2 cichlid's this week and one of them I am unsure what it is. The first cichlid I got was a blue johanni while the second one, even the guy from the pet store is unsure on what it is. He believes that it is a auratus but certain features is making him think that it is not an auratus...

Over the weekend I was cleaning my crab tank and I happen to have lost the hose adapter that comes with the Fluval 1 Plus Filter. The hose adapter is basically a tube that you attach to the section of the filter where the water is thrown out. Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement hose...

Well they have been going in circles recently but my Afra is a blocker, where he gets in between them. So do you think that could be it?

These are the pics of them, you can see the side of them that they have black lines, it's kind of hard to see but you can see it. http://imgur.com/e4UFe http://imgur.com/LwzYX If you look at the second pic you can see a little black on the labs upper lip. On a side note it was such a pain...

Oh yeah mine has those black lines like any other normal lab but it's these other lines that are concerning me.

I am certain that they are yellow labs since I got it from a breeder in his apartment and not a petstore. So you are saying that this is normal?

I wish I could but my cam is on the fritz, I'll try and see if I can take a pic of them tomorrow with my brother's iphone.

Recently the color change of my two yellow labs has had me concern in that they are getting black lines. When I first got them which was May of this year they were a little over an inch and were pure yellow but over the last few weeks they've been getting black lines (One has a little black on...

I wish I had a camera that can take a pic that close but I was talking to my cousin today who has had his tank for over 3 years now and he says that it is early stages of algae growing on the slates and that it's not a problem since some of the cichlids eat it.

So I having been having this issue with my slate rocks recently, that I don't know if it's good or bad, so I decided to ask here. My slate rocks have been growing what looks to be moss but I am not sure, I just know that it looks like small white hairs. My test are perfect, I never overfeed my...

The price of it was 30 but since I know the guy he gave it to me for 10 but since I returned it, I got the 10 back.

That's a blue crayfish right? I bought one of those over the weekend as well, the moment I put them in together, the blue cray immediately (Literally in under 2 seconds), it grabbed one of the red crays, wrapped it like a snake and was biting it, it also grabbed one of the crabs and cut off 2 of...

Over the weekend I got 2 red crayfish and 3 red crabs and would like to know if I can keep them with my African Cichlids. My cichlids are: 2 Compact Slim Zebra 1 Afra Cobue 1 White Top Hara 1 Kingsizei 1 OB Peacock 2 Yellow Labs 1 Red Albino Zebra 1 P. Nyererei 1 Cobalt Zebra And a featherfin...

So after doing some research on this, I found out that I will need a sponge filter or to cover the intake of my filter but I don't know how to cover the intake (I do know how to cover it but not the correct way). Read that it isn't good to keep shrimp with crayfish, since the crayfish will kill...

That is what I'm really concerned about, that the shrimp gets sucked into the filter, the filter is not strong because it's for a 10 gallon but am nervous about it none the less.

What?? My goldfish are in a different tank. My questions about the new 10 gallon tank and my goldfish tank light are totally unrelated because it's two different tanks, the 10 gallon tank that I just got is empty. That was my fault because I should've worded my question better. Also I think I'm...

I am planning on going with fresh water and I purposely bought this light (It said it was for saltwater fish and great for reefs) but didn't think it'd be this dark. It was great when I was using the light on my cichlids but now am using it on my goldfish and it doesn't seem that good on them...
