Figured I'd start a new update thread on this tank. I'm just leaving a fish store near Baltimore now and I just dropped $66 on a trio of fish. They're going to be the replacement for the regani pike, who has now eaten all $10 of my new lemon tetras, and has started chasing my uaru. He is no...

Ok so I've been hearing a good deal about these. Are the really worth it? My work (animal shelter) just bought three on my recommendation for our turtle tanks and I'm hoping I've heard right. So I was thinking about getting one for my 75, after I stupidly broke my AC 110 yet again (it had a...

Just got 5 altolamprologus sp. sumbu white dwarf form Andrew McFadden. So excited for these guys! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Here are some new pics, at the request of a few people lol Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

So I was thinking about trying some lily pads with my little plant destroying monsters. They don't touch my anubias or Java fern I've thrown in there though. I was thinking about adding some pond lilies to my 120, but I'm afraid they'll eat them. Anyone know how delectable lilies are to fish...

Ok guys, I'm about to pick up a new 75 gallon today, but I'm not sure what I wanna do with it. I was thinking about moving my tangs into it, but my girlfriend REALLY wants neons, so I'm thinking a low tech planted might be better. I just need some help thinking up some good stocking ideas...

Ok so I've been planning a 100+ gallon tank for years now. Well now I have one. Just picked up a brand new 120 gallon set up (60"x26"x18" roughly) off Craigslist. It's now in my house and "set up" for now, still need plenty of equipment. Anyway, still on the fence of the species. I'm thinking...

Hey all, one of the rare times I'm going to actually start my own thread! So, here's the situation: I found a 120 stout (48.5"L x 24.5"D x 25.25"H as quoted by the craigslister) I wanna buy (even if Mog says it's above resale value). So I am pretty sure I'm gonna stick with my love for...

So I rarely cruise the general freshwater section and have the last few days, and I've noticed something. There are a lot of cichlid-related posts in here. Just figured I'd remind everyone that there is a cichlid section, where your cichlid-related questions will generally get the best answers...

Ok, so I don't have any of my spare filters or parts with me (I just moved and left them in storage, I have a whole box full of various Aquaclear models and some random parts) but i was wondering if it would be possible to turn a AC filter into a fish nursery. I just had my lophiobagrus...

Ok, so this third installment is only cichlids 5" and under! There's no restrictions on region, so these can be from anywhere! Most are west African though. Good luck, especially Gillie! PHOTOS ARE NOT MINE! PICTURE 1: PICTURE 2: PICTURE 3: PICTURE 4: PICTURE 5:

Okay here's some new ones! I've added a 7th category: AFRICAN RIVERINE! AGAIN: no picture is mine unless otherwise stated! PICTURE 1: PICTURE 2: PICTURE 3: PICTURE 4: PICTURE 5:

Ok so another thread gave me this idea. What I will do is post SIX cichlid species (one from SA, one from CA, one from Malawi, one from Tanganyika, one from Victoria, and one from Madagascar, not necessarily in that order, it'd be too easy if I gave their natural ranges) and lets see if we can...

Just thought I'd update anyone that cares, I've successfully made my move from Mi to Md and have my 20 long Tang tank up and running, well sorta...my canister filter decided to clog up and stop working, and my Marineland double bright LED decided it didn't like the white LEDs, so they won't work...

Finally found myself a pair locally, thanks to my awesome LFS. Spathodus erythrodon "Burundi". They're WC And are awesome!

Looking for a pair of tanganyikan goby cichlids (species from the genus eretmodus or tanganicodus). Trying to find some that are reasonably priced, but I'm struggling to, so thought I would check on here. Thanks!

So, I decided to move to Baltimore with my sister, while her husband is deployed That means I'm having to tear down all my tanks. Who would ever have guess it's this hard to sell some fish? Already have my geophagus sp. rio pindare sold, as well as my angels, some corydora hasbrosus, some...

Ok guys, I'm a regular on the cichlid forum, but I have a buddy pushing me to try saltwater. I have a 6.6 gallon fluval edge, brand new. It has 21 LED lights, 18 white/3 blue. I want to know what are my options for this? Pico reef maybe? But I know I would need better lighting for stony...

So next Monday, I leave for San Diego for the entire month of October for work (I'm temporarily doing resets in Best Buys around south eastern Michigan, but they're having us work on a store in Cali). Anyway, I am tearing down my 3 nano tanks as we speak :( all the fish are going up to my...

Hey HUKIT and Mogurako, do I get some browning points with this?

So I was finally able to get some updated pics of a mystery fish I purchased a few weeks ago from my LFS. It came in as a hitchhiker in a shipment of wild mikrogeophagus ramirezi from the Orinoco river in Colombia. Well it's been some time and the little guy (or gal) is growing like a weed and...

So, I'm not normally an African cichlid kinda guy, but Tanganyikans hold a certain place in my heart. Just picked these up because I didn't want the usual synodontis cats. These little guys are Lophiobagrus cyclurus, also known as dwarf tanganyikan bullhead catfish. Like their name suggests...

So my mom and sister went to visit my other sister recently, who lives in Maryland. They were at the National Zoo in DC and sent me the attached picture with the caption: "guess what these are?" I made a few guesses (will tell what they are after you guys help ID them) and she told me that she...
