    Anubias ID

    Picked up this pot of beauties from my local fish shop yesterday. I know they're anubias, though I don't know what type they are.

    Colorful females for Mbuna show tank?

    Someone mentioned Kenyi cichlids. Though I don't know how easy they are to come by or if I can special order females from my local shop.

    Colorful females for Mbuna show tank?

    What are some good species to consider when looking for female Mbuna cichlids for a show tank? I'm looking to sell some of my males to make room for some new female inhabitants. I'm looking for something with vibrant colors. Any suggestions?

    What's this growing out of my driftwood?

    How brackish does the water have to be for them to hatch?

    What's this stuff sprouting from my driftwood?

    Hey guys. I've been away from home for a little while and when I got back to the tank I noticed that there are these white things that seem to be sprouting out of the pores in my driftwood. The wood's been in there for over a year so I don't think it's resin that's just now seeping out. I'm...

    Keeping Trumpet Snail Populations Up?

    I've recently noticed loads of assassin snail eggs all over my tank. I don't think I have enough trumpet snails to feed the coming horde. What can I do to get the MTSs to reproduce more quickly? Maybe adding some aquarium salts?

    My first saltwater tank.

    25 gallons.

    My first saltwater tank.

    How much can I expect to spend on a protein skimmer? And can I go without the hob filter?

    My first saltwater tank.

    What's a hob filter?
  13. Avidon

    My first saltwater tank.

    I will probably just buy salt water from my local fish store. Or I couldn mix my own water. I have a water softener in my house so do I not have to worry about buying RO water?

    My first saltwater tank.

    A protein skimmer? Would I substitute a canister filter for the skimmer alone?
  15. Avidon

    My first saltwater tank.

    So I'm basically starring from the ground up with this tank. I already have a Fluval 206 canister filter (upgrading to a larger one on my cichlid tank). I'm thinking a hoodless 20-25 gallon build. From the beginning of this project, my goal was to have a lionfish. I like starfish and sea...

    Weird surface film

    Is this film an indication of poor water quality or maintenance? Is this stuff a commonly encountered phenomenon in the hobby?

    Weird surface film

    Here's what it looks like:

    Weird surface film

    So I've noticed this strange looking film developing on the surface of my cichlid tank. I've never seen this stuff before. I did a water test today and all my water conditions are okay. I recently moved my sump to the middle of the tank so I'm not getting so much surface movement as I did...

    Assassin Snail Breeding Questions

    I recently experienced an outbreak of Malaysian Trumpet Snails in my tank. I have a heavily planted 38 gallon African Cichlid/Bichir tank. I bought 7 Assassin Snails to handle the MTS population. The snails I got vary in size from about 6 mm to 12 mm long. I haven't observed them breeding yet...

    UV sterilizes. Pros and cons

    I know that some people swear by having UV sterilizes because it helps to mitigate algae blooms in their tanks. I have a 38 gallon freshwater tank and though I don't have any problem with algae control, I still want to know what some of the benefits are to having one of these things in your...

    They're beneficial? Do they eat algae or something?

    Pest snail ID

    I've experienced a massive outbreak of snails in my heavenly planted African Cichlid tank. They don't come out much during the day but if I turn the lights on at night you can see that they are everywhere in the tank. I have tried using the blanched lettuce method but this cichlids always...
