    Feeding & water changes

    I am going out of town for 11 days. Is it ok to leave my tanks alone without feeding and water changes? I have South American cichlids. What do you think? Thanks

    EBJD refuse to eat pellets

    Hi - hoping that someone can share your experience with EBJD. I have a pair of 2 inch babies and both are very healthy. But both refuse to eat pellets or flakes for over a month now. They will only devour frozen bloodworms and brineshrimp and dried krill. Is it ok to just keep feeding them what...

    My Quertzal

    Yes that is correct - one of the most stunning cichlids in my opinion. They are my fave

    My Quertzal

    These a pure bred Quetzal - although I think they do use Quetzals to make Flowerhorns. They are in a 55g tank each

    Is this a real red terror (festae)?

    It looks like a Mayan cichlid I think..,

    Nicaragua cichlids

    Does anyone have any experience with Nicaragua cichlids? I have one that has grown from an inch to 4 inches now but it's color remains drab - just a pale brown. It looks healthy. My question is when does the fish start to develop its adult colors?

    Vacation

    I am going away for 5 days. Is it ok to leave my tanks unfed. I have cichlids in one tank, angelfish in another and barbs in the other 2 tanks

    Angelfish

    The tank is completely cycled - not a new tank at all. My angels are still small - 25 cent coin size. I intend to rehouse them to a larger tank when they grow. Just retested water - NH3 is nil. NO2 is nil. NO3 is 5ppm. pH is 6.8. All pretty ideal. So I can't figure out what caused the 2 angels...

    Angelfish

    I have a 30g tank with 6 angelfish - all the size of a 25 cent coin. They were doing very well for a couple of months then 2 just died - stopped eating and died suddenly within a couple of days. Water is 6.8 pH, nitrates 0, temp 78*F. The rest looks fine and healthy and eating. I feed frozen...

    Salvini Cichlid - boy or girl?

    Thanks - your advice is very much appreciated. My pair is in a 30g tank by themselves with lots of hiding places. The female is almost twice his size. I will monitor them and if I see that the male is in trouble I plan to remove him to another tank to grow him out a bit. Congrats on your...

    Salvini Cichlid - boy or girl?

    Thank you. - your pair of Sals is stunning. I am trying to get my pair to get along. But the female is kind of aggressive and is chasing the male around a lot. Did it take a while for your pair to form or did they take to each other immediately?

    First blue ram :)

    Skyla - Marley is a beauty. U mentioned testing for 0 nitrates and that is great for Rams. But u did not mention about pH of your tank. Rams need water on the acidic side -- 6.0 to 6.5 is optimal for them to thrive. In my experience - constant water change of 20% every other day and keeping pH...
