    Sick Pleco? Worried!!

    So I have this gorgeous Clown Pleco. Kenbob gave me as a gift a few days ago. I am suspicious it hasn't been eating, and seems to have this white spot on it's head that I hadn't noticed before...

    A Few Questions

    I had adopted some african cichlids from craigslist and most of them are hybrids (From what the guy had in his tanks I'm assuming they are Demasoni/Electric Yellow mix). Now I am expanding my fishy friends group as I personally search my LFS for individual Cichlids I find to be beautiful. I...

    Will a Pleco 'fit in' my Cichlid Community?

    I have a 46 gallon Cichlid tank which contains 12 various Cichlids (Electric Yellow, Demasoni, and one other type forgot the name). All are fairly small, largest being 2 1/2 - 3". The tank is well built-up with lace rock providing plenty of hiding spaces. Currently these are the only variety...
