The pics aren't the best. Fish are hard to photo! He is red along the top,of his head, and a light black horizontal stripe along his sides. He prefers to eat from the top of the tank than the sinking pellets. thanks!

Cichlid, Mbuna.

It's a mesh net, I don't know if that matters, but she has been in there since yesterday. How can I time birth by a couple of hours?

Hello all! I have a pregnant fish that has not eaten in exactly three weeks today. She is active and NOT happy to be in a breeding net. I have not tempted her with food, but my fish expert tells me to give her some blood worms. I've read to not tempt them so they don't spit early or eat the...

Love my synos!! They are fun to watch, as they practice synchronized swimming across the tank.

What is the bottle trick? I would really love to know!

I just dismantled my tank to catch a pregnant fish.

My 95 gallon. I will be a grandma in a few days, hence the net. She doesn't like it so much.

Thanks! He has been arguing with another zebra. Anything I should do?

Anyone? Anyone? Beuhler?

I noticed this yesterday, when he wouldn't eat. He ate today, but something is wrong with his mouth. He's not holding, his mouth is empty. I thought maybe he was I'm a fight, but I started reading about diseases and thought he might have another issue. Any ideas?

I've read that cichlids love peas and cucumbers. I have some edamame in the fridge, is that ok to give them? Thanks!

I noticed today that one of my fish looks like she might be holding. She didn't eat today, and her mouth looks full. It kinda looks like she is chewing. I've only had the tank since June, 95 gallon, about 20 fish, all mbuna. I'd like to try to keep them, what do I need? Let nature take its...

I left my cichlids for a long weekend and came home to a disaster. I had 5 dead fish. I don't know what happened, and since I've been home everything has been fine. I tested the water and the ammonia was high, but a couple of hours later, after I removed the dead fish, it was significantly...

Thank you! This was very helpful!

I concur! The are zebras.

Thank you, that helps.

Have 25 mbuna cichlids ranging from 1-3", and three syno catfish in a 95 gallon tank. I am having a really hard time judging how much is enough. I have New Life Spectrum pellets, and algae wafers. It seems like it would take the entire jar of food to last the 30 second to two minutes of feeding...

Nope, not bloated.

My tank is all mbuna cichlids. I have two orange zebras that are kind of nasty, but they don't really bother the yellow ones. I noticed yesterday that this particular fish wasn't coming up to eat. Today I noticed him laying in the plant. He died a few minutes after my post. The water tested...

Thank you, he died a few minutes ago. What is the best way to euthanize? I felt terrible and I'm new to this. I have a 95 gallon tank. There are about 25 fish in there, all roughly that size. It's my first loss. Water tests well, and there are no marks on him. The other fish sometimes give...

It's not like I can take him to the vet. He won't eat, won't move. This stinks.

I thought that might be the answer. Thanks!

CAn I keep a cray fish with mbuna cichlids? So far, I have one fish chasing everyone around, but we will add more fish this weekend. I have 7 now. Thanks!

Here are the new additions to my family. Can anyone tell me what they are?
