Hey Tex, what kind of BN Pleco? How about a Starlight Bristlenose Pleco ?

Iv'e got a mag float however I can't reach the back of the tank as it it up against a wall. The front and sides I do clean w/ the mag float. If you can see in the pic it is the dark spots on the back wall. The Cichlids won't bother the Bristle Nose Pleco? If that is the case I will pick up...

I was wondering if my cichlid tank can sustain an algae eater? As you can tell in the pic I provided its growing on the back of the tank which I can't reach to clean. Do I just let it go or what? Anyone w/ any ideas????

Wow. I've only got a 5 gal bucket. This could take awhile

Hi. I have a 65 gal cichlid tank. Ive had the tank now for a couple of months and I feel like I need to do a 50% water change. The tank is getting cloudy like when I first put my sand in. (Unwashed sand,what a mess). When I do I was planning on using my well water. However it will be cold...

Tetra, My cichlids absolutely love the center piece. They all love it and continue to use it. When I first set up my tank ( which i have had now for 2 months ) I made sure all my fish were the same size. By doing this I was able to keep the fighting down to a minimum. Now I do have a Pictus...

OK guy and gals, I swapped some driftwood on a slate for about 25 lbs of slate for my tank. However i'm not quite sure how to anchor down my slate to put into my tank. Anyone have any ideas? I have several tubes of adhesive and calk. Would that work. Is it something I can pick up at Home...

I was wondering if i can feed my African Cichlids blood worms from my yard? They sure do like it...

I am thinking about painting the back of my tank instead of putting up a background. Do I need to prime the glass first or can I just paint it? Any Ideas?????

So what I'm reading here is it doesn't matter if I add salt or not. I feel my guys (cichlids) are doing ok without the salt. HOWEVER if they need it to be healthy by all means I'll use salt...

Mal I've had them now for 2 - 4 weeks now.

WOW. Now I'm totally confused. I had a cichlid tank back in the 80's and never used salt then. I didn't think I would need to now. Everyone seems to be doing fine. Kinda hat to rock the boat if y'all know wot I mean...

Thanx Con. Sound words.

I had someone just tell me that I needed to add salt to my 65 gal cichlid tank. What the heck? I had never done that before. Is this something I need to look at and why?

I currently have two Fluval heaters. One is a 200 watt and the other is a 300 watt. They were running fine and now they aren't heating very well. They keep showing LF and they also show that they are over heating then under heating. Need help. I have tried to reboot them (unplug them) but...

Horseygirlmaddy and 5x5. Thank you both for the advise. It will be taken into consideration. Thanx...

Ok here we go. I have a 65 gal tank. The Cichlids that I have are Blue Hap Morii Bumble Bee Kenyi Electric Yellow Lab Red Zebra Golden Mbuna Acei I know this is a very diverse tank but what can you tell me about the BGK or even a couple of Plecos / catfish? Thanx Jeff

I have been eyeing a BGK for about a week and a half. I was wondering if it would be a good tank mate with my Cichlids.

Hi guys. Got a quick question. I found a gem on Craigslist. Picked up a 65 gal tank w/ stand, 2 Fluval heaters, a Fluval canister filter, two lights one being an R2 Moonlight w/ timer and other oddities all for $150. What I do need to find out is what is the correct placement of my heaters...
