I have 2 convicts roughly 6-8 months old. That I thought were both females because of their coloration that have paired off and set up shelter behind a rock crevice and the back glass, they’ve dug a little pit under the rock, and have been hanging out in that little spot, and fiercely defended...

Finished setting up, cycling, and stocking my new 75. It’s going to evolve, re-arrange, and go through all sorts of phases, but I’m excited for the start. Check me out. https://youtu.be/mLOzwGKQWGA

Finished stocking my 75g! I’m very excited to watch these fish grow. They’re all Juvi’s the largest fish is just over 2” Australian Rainbowfish x 5 Bosemons Rainbowfish x 3 Turquoise Rainbowfish x 1 Convict Cichlid x 3 Jack Dempsey x 1 Leporinus fasciatus x 1 I have a 10g at the ready for...

My wife got me this fish yesterday, it was in a tank of Nicaraguense Cichlid “macaw” Cichlid, but I’m not 100% on it. It’s about 2” right now https://youtu.be/m3IkHuN-nVw

My 10g QT tank no longer has any residents, but I plan to keep it running for emergency’s and eventually fry. I haven’t done any water changes since I last had fish in there, and there’s a pretty heavy amount of Ammonia and Nitrites, (still cycling from setup) My question is, once the cycle...

I pulled out some old decor, and rinsed a bunch off. I put some in the tank, but the ones I didn’t, I noticed after a little while had a really strong ammonia-type smell. I tested the tank, and the ammonia levels seemed to increase from .05 to .1 in the span of an hour. I’m going to check it...

I’ve been looking at this shark as a potential tank mate with American Cichlids, Salvini, JD’s, and Convicts, and a Yellow Firemouth (if I can fine one) I’m getting varying information (as you often do) about the compatibility, and temperament of these sharks. Has anyone kept them, what...

I know I knew this at one point, but how does a product like Prime, when it detoxifies the Ammonia, effect the cycling and establishment of BB?

I’ve decided to turn my new 75g into a CA setup. I’ll have to learn how to manage a planted Aquarium, but I’m excited to learn. Fish-wise, I know there’s no garuntee, but I wanted to see if there’s any immediate compatibility issues with this stock: Jack Dempsey Red Terror Jaguar 6-8...

Apartment life had me take down all of my tanks. But I finally have a new house, a new tank, and a new plan! I’m super excited to do this right! I learned from all my mistakes early on. Right now I’m at least 3 months before I actually start cultivating the fish that will ultimately be my new...

Alright let's hear it. Your first tank experience, all the stupid things you did. The terrible combinations or stocking choices you thought might work or didn't think at all. Videos and pics welcome. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

It's a difficulty getting the peacocks in an all male tank to all color up. Mostly I try to be patient, I get to see everyone's true colors, mostly. For the ones I don't, I know a lot of it is they are still growing, and can't compete with the more flamboyant breeds, but I had an idea for an...

One of my Rams has pretty bad bloat, been bad since yesterday. I don't want to move him, and salt is not an option, also don't think meds are a good idea either? Anything I can do besides keep the water perfect and clean? Should I just move him? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Ok here's the sitch: I bought 3 Chiwindi about 5 week ago. They are growing fast and stand at about 1" In my show tank I have a mix of peacocks, haps, and 2 Mbuna, ranging from 2" to 6" (mostly juveniles, a handful of adults (2-3 years old) The chiwindi are in my hospital/receiving tank...

Thought it be a fun topic. Ok going to start. My Pundamilia Nyererie Mokpbe island. He follows me everywhere I go. And does flips when I give him attention. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Can someone help me, I threw out the bottle, and can't remember. I think it's 1:1 bleach solution for 24 hours, and then prime treated tap water for 12? Something like that. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

So say I put an Apisto in my 30 with my Rams, Gouramis, cardinals, and a few others? Terrible idea, bad idea, someone's going to die, might work? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Last night I decided to get in an extra clean and water change since my Nitrates where already creeping up on 20. And it lead to some entertaining antics. First off, for some reason my Benga decided my Red shoulder was now a female and tried EXTREMELY hard to mate with it. (The red shoulder was...

My nerite snails climb up above the water line sometimes, Is this normal?

Anyone have this? I am looking to upgrade my 55 to a 90 tall by the beginning of next year. The cost of the tank is one thing, but I want to get everything else I'll need first. Including: a new heater, about 40 more lbs of Sahara Cichlid sand, and a filter. I absolutely LOVE my API...

Just bragging, I picked up 3 Neon Blue chiwindi today for $12!! Stay tuned.

Just showing off my tanks, and updating you all on how my fish are doing. Thanks for all your help and support. And happy Fathers Day. YouTube

I've heard many reference a time out tank. I do keep a side tank that I use as quarantine and hospital. I also have it set up to remove any male that turns out to be too aggressive. Today I took out my albino socolofi. All the other fish were gathered at the other end of the tank, while he...

A while back I asked which of my species I should breed. I was thinking of doing Red Top Lwanda's but haven't been able to find any females. I found a group of Neon Blue Chitindes for $4 each. Was thinking of breeding those instead. I wanted to breed something rare, something cool, and easy to...
