I picked up this 125 Gallon tank about a year ago and it needed a bit of love before I could get it up and running. I have re sealed it and soon I will be building a top frame for it out of angle iron. I have built my filter and it has started to cycle. The last thing I need to build is the...

Ok, so I typed up a big informative post here earlier today and it blew up and vanished when I went to post it. Here is the quicker version. 39 gallon (30x12x24 high) Have pressurized CO2 and ferts. 4 strand of LED - 1 cool white , 1 strand royal blue, 1 strand of warm white. I have 1...

Local store got him in one of their shipments and no one know what he is. Pretty sure he is one of the African varieties of cichlid but I am not to familiar with them.

The write up is a little long but I need to give as many details as possible to figure out what the problem is. I have a 20 gallon (high) planted tank that has been set up for almost 3 months. I cycled the tank and transfered some fish between tanks. In this tank after the swap I had 6...

I recently purcased a Jewel Cichlid and needed to make some adjustments. Everyone was very helpful with their comments. She is in a 20 gallon tank at the moment and wil be upgraded to the 37 gallon that I have waiting for her. She is the only fish in there. Loves the bottom and to hide in the...

I recently purchased a 37 gallon tank (30"x12"x22" tall?). I have a Jewel Cichlid at the moment who will call this home. This tank has so much vertical space that I don't know what to do with yet. The tank the Jewel is calling home for now is a lot more compact, but she does tend to spend a...

Not sure if this is normal or some form of sickness like worms or something. Just last weekend bought a Jewel Cichlid from a local store. When she goes to the bathroom there appears to be a few tendril like things that are reddish in color coming out with the poop. Once she has finished doing...

I bought her thinking she was one of the smaller varieties of cichlid, one that would ahve worked well with my 20G (high). After identifying her and reading up on them I have decided I need a bigger tank. In my area there is curently a 35G tank for sale at a good price. Everything I have read...
