Thanks. I think thats what im going to do. I just feel bad for my angel, he seems lonely.

So if I went with rams how many should I get. The aquarium co op I go to, says he can sex at 90% accuracy. So just to go over its a 36 gallon bowfront, mildly planted with 5 swartz cory (only bottom dwellers) but I plan to add a few more later. I think I am leaning to lambs since my natural...

Thanks. I may just go with 1 male gbr and 1 male apisto...anyone ever do that combo? Or maybe just a pair of gbr's or apisto's....just cant figure it out :-)

Bump still looking for any experience with angelfish.

Anybody have advise on another angelfish?

Yeah that would be a good choice. Do what you like best, cichlids are really fun fish I think youll be happy no matter what.

If I were you I would get 2 different fish. I have never had luck keeping 2 of the same kind without lots of aggression(except angels) all fish that can fit in the mouth of the acara could be eaten as with any american cichlid. Mine was pretty laid back but he was my only acara. I had 2 sevs 1...

I agree. Acaras are pretty hardy so I really dont think you would have an issue. Especially if you could find locally bred as they would be breeding in same water conditions.

I used to have a blue acara in a 56 gallon and he was a very fun and attractive fish. He is a smaller SA cichlid so would do fine. They are also minimally aggressive so should do good with firemouths. JMO

Hi, What are you feeding them? I used to have severums in my big tank and sometimes mine would refuse to eat his cichlid pellets untill I have him a frozen snack. After I would give him some brine shrimp of blood worms he would eat his pellets again. Little stinkers. If they are used to...

They are swartz's corys. I have looked and on different sites it goes anywhere from 72-76 to 74-84, just for the swartz cory. I don't like keeping any fish at the high or low end all the time but I thought if 84 was top than keeping at 79-80 wouldn't be too bad but if normal range is only 76...

Here is a pic from a right after my 2 died. Just wanted to let everyone see what kind of enviroment my tank is in case a certain type of fish would enjoy it more than another. Also for filtration I have a tetra whisper for 45 gallons and a aqueon quiet (something) for a 45 gallon. I have a eheim...

What temp do you keep your tank? I have a local that breeder of GBR's and really like them especially since they seem healthier than some I have seen at stores, but was worried that my cories wouldn't like the high temp. Like all fishes I can find very different websites stating diffirent...

Hi everyone, I have a 36 gallon bowfront tank mildly planted that has been up and running since the end of September. I have 5 scwartz's cory cat, 10 cardnial tetras and an angelfish. I had 2 angelfish and 6 cory cats but my heater went crazy and heat went up too fast and they died. I now...

Anyone?

hello, I bought a coralife ro/di 50gpd system from amazon a month or so ago. It did well with the initial filling of my tank. I now have tried using it a month later and it spraying out of the membrane. I have tried plumbers tape, reseating the membrane and it still sprays. I housed it how...

So you just had live rock and circulations pump? What should I start with?

Hi, I posted this on my build thread with no responses so here it is during cycling I noticed a drip from my return pipe so I had to stop water flow. The tank is completely cycled w/out sump running it goes from 8ppm to 0 in 24 hrs. I noticed algae. Can I put a small CUC in until hubby can fix...

Thanks. Ok do my husband is fixing the drip this week but I've started to get some algae so I was wondering if a small CUC would be ok in a tank running with out sump. I can't let sump run until the drip is fixed. I was thinking in a 70 gallon tank they would be fine for a week, since they have...

Ok we'll my tank has been cycled for a while I need to top off and do a water change and I will add my first fish. Well my husband needs to fix a small drip coming from return pump but I have re scaped 100 times and am kinda burnt out...I have decided I am just not good at it. Here's my final...

Day 7 cycle Ammonia .05 Nitrate 60 pH 8.5 Nitrite back down to 0

So I am keeping my cycling going but everything else is on hold due to our renters moving out. We need to save every penny so that we have the extra mortgage payment. I will keep everyone updated.

Good luck, in in the same position as you.

Ok I did it again, I think I'm gonna have to wait till tomorrow to change anymore as its getting to cloudy. I used my freshwater master kit against the saltwater chart( I didn't realize I could do that) And got Ammonia 4 Nitrite .25 Nitrate 20 pH 8.5

Yeah that's what I should have done to begin with but once I start moving everything it gets cloudy and I can't see. I'll try again. I really don't want to move base rocks bc they are in sand and I don't want them on top of sand. Where should I put y shaped rock? How does this look?
