Where they are building the nest the kuhlis never went. They haven't started chasing anything away from it yet. I actually just saw one of the convicts go straight into the nest and they didn't bother chasing it away. But where the kuhlis usually "hang out" was overtaken by one of the CAEs. T...

So my tank got over its minor little infestation and so I decided it was time to get some new fish. So I decided on some cichlids that were already paired off, convicts and some others that are called "firebellies" but I don't know the exact names. Some friends of mine had them and they are...

I too will adopt some if you feel the need to... relocated some extras.... My fish store doesn't know how to order fish *sigh*

Update: All remaining kuhlis located today. BN pleco has yet to be spotted. I've been checking all day but so far- nothing.

I too watched a show on the snakehead and they claimed that the initial fish (which happened to be released in the first lake that the snakeheads were found or something along those lines) was released by a guy who bought the fish for an ailing relative (to make some time of food that was...

As far as how they got in? I just got a whole bunch of new plants and some new fish. I also got some planaria and a snail. I really wish I had got known of it but maybe the snail... Alas. Retaks-That is highly unfortunate. I would have parasites over a spill 210 gallons of water anyday...

Minor update- BN has reappeared and is just as voracious as ever. No external signs of worms that I could see from the brief moment he was in view.

The 1 dose per 5 gal wasn't for the jungle. that was for the salt treatment- it is supposed to make the leeches disconnect from the fish. (I hope :) ) I have used this (Jungle) on my Kuhlis before and they didn't die. They were a little more finicky than normal but there didn't seem to be any...

Arrived home: 2.5 hours ago Current mood(s): Petrified, angry, troubled, dumb-struck:confused: Fish loss: 1 kuhli loach, 4 BN pleco at 1" Health of other fish: 3 remaining k.l. unknown, remaining pleco appears to have grown but there may be problems lurking.... 2.5 hours ago I arrived in my...

"Most promisingly as a preventative... against fungal and bacterial action on freshwater fish eggs. Though sometimes suggested as a treatment for ich, velvet, Cryptocaryon, Amyloodinium, other protozoa, monogenetic trematodes... there are far more useful medicines for actual treatment of...

I wasn't planning on keeping them all. Growing them out to a decent size and then selling them off to the LFS. What would be compatible top dwellers that aren't especially bland?

Hello! I have decided to use my 55 gal as more a dwarf cichlid variety and I wanted to start fairly easy, kribs, but I also was hoping on fitting some GBRs in. So I was wondering if they are compatible and if so, what m/f ratios would work with them? The tank has quite a bit of driftwood and...

Alright thank you all! I happened to come across some juvenile bristlenose plecos (5 for $25, in town they are 29.99 per...) so I opted for those over the raphael. If they weren't so small still I would have gotten it but I would rather have a secure size on the BNs before getting a catfish.

Thanks Zagz! I will pick 'em up tomorrow after work :) Is it too tight/riskish to put the GBR pair and Krib pairs together as well? (or should I jump that Q over to cichlid?)

So I had a bad day and did what I always do on bad days- bought something for my fish tank. Today it happened to be a new aquaclear filter for my 10 gallon that is coming with me to college. I happened to espy a raphael catfish. I immediately wanted to buy for my 55 gallon but then, in a moment...

I have only seen it twice so far... my oldest brother has seen it four time and he just went to San Francisco and got to see it in iMax. I feel cheated.

Cat Thought: What is tha.... If I just reach in real slowly..... OH SPRAY BOTTLE! You shall rue the day you crossed me, Human!

Flowerhorns "As was stated in some reports, the Flower Horn Fish is also known as a "mutated" breed of fish. Rest assured that this is just a claim. Flower Horn Fish has gone through a lot of selective cross breeding in order to have the best characteristics of the respective strains of the...

I thought flowerhorns were just a case of heavily selective breeding? I'm pretty sure they aren't genetically modified by means of DNA transfer..... *runs to google*

I just saw the Dark Knight for the second time last night and that reminds me of the part where Joker is telling Two Face the dog-chasing-the-car analogy.... this completely has something to do with this topic i know.... My cat always drank from my 10 gal and she taught her kitten how to and...

Great news! A new fish store just came to town about 1 month ago, locally owned etc... And when I asked them about special ordering things they didn't blow me off or scoff! It was amazing. I'm going in tomorrow to talk to them about getting some Kribs and lighting equipment. It's as if I have...

Now I'm almost ashamed to post photos of my revamp.... *sigh* Thanks for all of the input! I really wanted to go with some GBRs but With my tank leaning towards the higher pHs I was hoping there are others. The only plants I have right now are pretty inexpensive so I wouldn't be too hurt or...

Are there any cichlids that are okay with plants? No matter the size really...

The Title is supposed to be "done now" not "down now" sorry. Nitrate: 10 (working on getting that up as I have plants) Nitrite: 0 Hardness (GH): 75 KH: 200 pH: 7.8-8.0 I have a small/medium gravel, driftwood, slate and a few anubias varieties. The current inhabitants of said 55gal are...
