Thought I'd post in here to start. See if there is any local interest in my babies.
I'm not set up to ship, sorry. So of you're in the Calgary area and are interested in some bumble bee hybrids let me know.
I have an 80 gal freshwater discus community tank, running custom filtration all parameters great, plastic & real plants, gravel & sand substrate. Loads of hiding places.
Now the trouble.. It seems someone is eating my dither fish!! I have 4 discus, down to THREE rasboras (from 15) Von rios are...
Calling on the masters of cichlid identification lol!
They shine bluish purple sort of look like dolphins but they have splotches like a peacock? All babies right now around an inch big.
Just wanted a spot where I can post what's going on for me. Seems I always end up with several threads going at once on various topics. Everything happens at the same time around here lol!
Today I'm working on setting up my sons 33 gal in his room. (Very nervous about this) I'm not sure he's...
My bumble bee isn't eating a lot and is swimming around like its mouth is full. Which surprises me cause I though it was a he? Or maybe it is a he and its swollen from lip locking? It's a cruddy picture but hopefully someone can please tell me whether I should be getting a fry net or something??
Gramma has given up the hobby. All her fish died (or so she thought) so she was going to clean it and pack it up. Dumped the bleach in only to find an albino cory under her ship. :-( She feels absolutely terrible and has sworn off fish. She doesn't want to kill anymore. I know a good daughter in...
Hey all :-)
As I was wandering around Home Depot looking for silicone. I found these lights.
Do you think they would work for my 65gal tank? It's dimensions are 12 1/2" wide 48" long 24" tall. It homes various African Malawi cichlids.
Sorry I'm reposting this on a different board. As it was pointed out to me that the board I first posted it on doesn't get much attention and seeing this is a TIME SENSITIVE matter hopefully I don't catch crap.
My 65gal has sprung a LEAK!! A new tank is NOT an option on my budget. I've looked...
My 65gal has sprung a LEAK!! A new tank is NOT an option on my budget. I've looked online (used) and new, both ways are more money than I have right now. I was looking at breaking it down, putting the fish in a garbage can and resealing the tank. (I have done this with different tanks already)...
Anyone else get into their tanks thinking "I know exactly what I'm going to do!" Then after a couple hours and a few soaking wet towels later you sit back, look at it and think .. Why didn't I just leave it alone!!? I've made one heck of a mess in my 80gal and now I have NO idea how I'm going to...
I've posted a picture so there's no confusion in trying to explain what I see. If you look on her side fin its deep pink where it hasn't been before. She's in my 80gal with various cories, tetras, rasboras, glass cats and Trooper (my discus) there is also a syno catfish in there too. She is the...
Hey all :-)
I have a 65gal tank with mixed African Cichlids. Plastic plants. I have three tetra whisper hob's each rated for 60-90gal tanks. I've been researching ideas for this tank. I really need new lights (still running with the stock hood/lights that came with the tank 15yrs ago) However I...
Hello all :-)
I purchased three pairs of cichlids from a local breeder a while back and now I'm wondering if she may have sexed one pair wrong? The other two pairs are doing great. It's just these two. I don't know if the male is just a stinker and likes it rough or if there's a possibility the...
So it's official I am a dumb bumm ;-) I can get in here on my phone only because it saves my password. I tried to get online via my computer and it keeps telling me I've answered the random question incorrectly?? Any help would be appreciated :-)
Hey all :-)
I know it's been awhile since I was "active" in here. I have been lurking in the background once in a while reading up.
My set ups have changed since last and I still have to update my profile. So please disregard the stocking in there. It has been rectified!
So the reason for my...
Does anyone have any ideas or experience with teeny tiny white worm looking things in their tanks? I have these all over the glass close to the substrate in my 65gal. I've tried getting a picture but they are so small I can't get a good shot. This is the best of the pics I could get.
Quick question, does anyone have experience using polyester stuffing as filter floss? I have a bag and would like to use it but I'm not sure if polyester will harm my fish? It's 100% recycled polyester, used for stuffing pillows,toys,pet beds..
We brought home a beautiful purple apple snail today. Wasn't a planned purchase (I know my bad) I know they love spinach and that's about all I know about these guys. So please post anything or everything you know.. I'm like a dry sponge here ready to absorb ;-)
One of my yellow labs has a slight black/grey tinge to its face. Is this something I should be worried about? All params on tank are good. I did have a slight spike in nitrites just after adding all the new fish (6) but its good now.
My family surprised me with 6 new fish for my 65gal! So now my stock is:
2-yellow labs
2-kimpumas
2-electric blues
3-rosaline sharks
2-blood parrots
1-blue dragon goby
1-red tailed shark
1-synodontis catfish
1-clown pleco
1-flash pleco
The first 6 on the list are the "new guys". I have to admit...
I have to share this with you all. I started researching what I would need to keep discus almost a year ago. Everything that I've read has said they are extremely sensitive and difficult to keep. It seems everyone has their opinions on the topic and what the best set up for them is. Either way...
Hello all :-)
As the thread says, I'm re-stocking my 80 gal tank. I had a unfortunate series of events (some known and unknown) that wiped out almost all of my fish.
The fish that have survived are as follows
1- synodontis catfish
3- cory catfish
2- harlequin raspboras
I have also added from my...
