I've had this guy since he was the size of a quarter now he's about 10-12 inches in diameter. Going on 4 years old now. He's developed something on the top of his head that I have no clue on what it is. Kind of almost looks like a fungus, but with 4 white dots similiar to ich. He eats well...

anyone else have input?

No, the green one dominates the tank actually. The gold ones keep to themselves. The green one will chase the gold ones at times, but nothing serious. The port cichlid "shimmys" too and he normally keeps to himself, but now him and the severums go at it.

Ever heard of this? Whats also strange is that everone is aggressive all of a sudden too. I've had everyone in my tank for almost 2 years without any problems, then wham. I haven't added any fish either. My water parameters are all normal. I do all my water changes on time.

I guess I am a bit confused Rich either that I am brain farting. Would you mind explaing in further detail?

what do you mean by airlocked. as far as priming, i fill the canister with tank water and suck on the hose to get the water going to the spraybar

I've had an Eheim 2215 for a year now on my 75gal. Everytime I clean it out (tonight is the 3rd time) I have a problem getting it going again. It starts up, but has a problem spraying out thru the spraybar. I did a whole cleaning, tubes and all. I even took it apart and rinsed out all the...

How do I take care of these. Here's what I read: "The eggs will hatch in about 48 hours, then the young will be moved to a shallow pit in the substrate. After four or five days they are free swimming and herded together in a group and looked after by the male. Each brood can contain as many as...

I don't have live plants in any of the tanks. They are all silk in the 75 and plastic in the 10. The bala shark I wanna say is around 2.5 inches. I just remeasured the fish in the 75 and they are all over 1 inch but under 2. The biggest being the cupid cichlids are over 2 inches and the...

Most of the fish I have are around an inch (coin dollar size) or so except the 4 Rams. Those guys I wanna say are maybe less then a half inch. I know the Severums get to be a good size. I seen them fully grown in my parents tank growing up which in my tank, they are the "centerpiece fish...

My mother came by my home last night seen my set-up and said WOW. My parents were fish addicts years and years ago from FW to SW. Her last set-up was 14 years ago and got rid of it because she was moving. (I was in high-school then). She then started to criticise the amount of fish I had in...

OK, I got a BN and also another pleco. Let me ask this. Does algae cause a nitrite spike? I did a water test this week (done once a week) and the nitrites are sky rocketed (again) :? Back to the PWC and as long as I'm at it, scrubbing the decor.

WOW!!! Interesting discussion. All because my Eheim was being subborn and a royal PIA after a cleaning. :lol:

Well after giving up last night and going to bed at 2am, I accidentally left the unit plugged in, and I get up and it's running smoothly. It's even got its flow back. I think i just needed to re-prime it which is a PIA to begin with. I refilled the canister with water and even went as far as...

I have the 2215-2217 model. I remember it took almost 3 hours to get it set up when I first got it because it wasn't taking water in. The instructions were horrible. I had a friend help me set it up. It was really late and I got aggrevated so I went to bed and my friend figured it out. I'm...

I purchased my set-up mid-October. I noticed that each time I do a PWC, and plug back in my Eheim, the flow seems to slow down more and more. Now today, I do another PWC and the flow almost completely stopped. :x I figured the hoses were clogged. I unclogged them, plugged it back in, and...

ohhhh good idea. Would of never thought of it. thanks again

Thanks for all the info. I put them in the QT tank and wasn't able to run out to buy one of those nets that was suggested. So to make sure they didn't get sucked up into the filter until they got situated, I shut off the filter for about 4 hours and added and airstone for circulation. I then...

Just a few rainbow fish were in the tank with them. Kinda funny thou, because they have the long tail and their fins look like the bristlenose. I have no clue what to do with them.

HMMM...luck must have it. I just got home from purchasing and Albino Bristlenow. I'm floating the bag and my son yells out..."MOM!!! you have babies in the bag!" Sure enough, there they were. 3-4 of them. Very tiny kinda like brine shrimp size. I didn't even see them in the tank at the...

I happened to be in my LFS and noticed a Zebro Pleco. I seen photos of this one with white stripes. The one in my LFS had tan stripes. They wanted $99 for this little guy who's about 2" long. I'm debating weither or not to get him. I think the Zebro Plecos are cool looking. The LFS said...

thanks again TG...that would be the one I was looking for.
