I thought one of my rustys was holdin and while cleaning today I seen she was as I seen some in the gravel and my red jewel was eating some. I only seen two but they were tiny. I put the mother in a breeding net and her mouth still looks weird. Does she release them all at once or just some...

I was just about to clean my tank and I look at the filter and see a bunch of nasty stuff floating and sticking to my bio max. I went to pull the bag out and it all just started flowing in my tank. Clouded my tank almost instantly. I have had the top of the filter off for a while because it...

So I have a 55 gallon malawi cichlid tank and I've been slowly adding tufa rock to it. I started out with just a couple pieces and would usually just take em out to get the gravel cleaner in there and clean. I now have a good bit of rock in there and I'm wondering how often I should take them...

So the last couple of days I haven't been seeing much of him/her ( cant tell due to all the spots ). It's been just hanging out on the bottom and hiding. It is usually one of the more aggressive ones and that's why I'm concerned. Hasn't came up for food recently and I was looking at it today...

So last night when my tank lights went out I noticed my heater was glowing red and didn't think anything of it. About 15 minutes later I look and it is still glowing. I take a look at the temp and was a little over 90!!! I started messing with the heater and it finally turned off. I'm gonna...
