it is a standard 150 gallon at 72 inches long. I have about 14.5 inches of width at the top to work with and I do not want price to be considered. Depending on what will work, t8 or LED, it will already be 75$ - 300$ new. I would just like an opinion on whether or not LED is worth the...

Hey guys! So I've recently been put in charge of a 150 gallon aquarium at a local vet clinic because they have zero experience and the woman who was caring for it didn't really fill anyone in ( also she was not the most qualified either.) Here is my current set up: 150 gallon tank with...

Well thank you for the clarification on colouring, at least! I get that cichlid identification can be tough. This is the last place I can think of to ask. My coworker believes it to be an Acei mutt and it could be for all I know, I just wanted to ask. Anyway thank you again, Wy Renegade!

So I work at a petstore and this guy came in with the assorted Africans as extra fry. I took him home to identify him and I just cannot figure it out. Is he an Acei mutt? I don't know. If you guys can help I would be so grateful. He is about an inch and a half long so I'm assuming he's showing...

People who don't know what they're doing. I work in a petstore and I cannot tell you how many times people come in for more "Chiclets" or "The yellow fish like the one they have at home." Argh. Learn about what you're doing! IT's CICHLID, not a gum!

Hi! One of my favourite fish is a German Blue Ram Cichlid, and I've tried keeping them before but my pH is just too high to keep them happy. I live in a hard water area, and I've heard that using a pH Down product can be ineffective due to the hardness. My question is, does anyone know of a...

Matt, My water tests have come up negative for those chemicals. I understand that they can end up in the waters but I've usually kept hardy fish. The Rams are new for me, and I just want to know what's in my tank.

You should be able to separate them now! since they're thriving in their current setup, maybe you should invest in a fry basket to attach to the side of their current tank. Growth at different rates is fine, it just means that some fish are eating more of the fish than others. You can buy fry...

I know it's been a long time since this thread has been opened, but I work at PetSmart and I'm new to this site, and I've been browsing the threads to soak up some knowledge. I just HAD to comment on this picture, Butterfly_Koi, because it is so BEAUTIFUL! I looove the way the two are circling...

Public water

By "safe," I mean that there is not any. The tests came back clear. I do not use a water conditioner, which could very well be my problem, which I can address. However, is it a fungal or bacterial problem in my tank as well?

Urrgh. I was trying the 'insert image' button. So the first is my full tank set-up. I typically have live plants in there as well, but I don't want to put them back in until I see what's going on. The second is a better shot of the bubbles and film on the top, as well as a photobombing Ram...

JLK: I don't have any tips handy but I can bring some water into work tomorrow to test. I tested the water before I added the new fish and everything was reading good, with the exception of a highish pH (I've read that Blue Rams prefer a lower pH). I'll let you know tomorrow what everything's...

Hello, I was hoping that someone could give me answers as to the condition of my tank. It's a 20gal and has been set up for probably three years. I stocked it about a week ago with four blue ram cichlids and a pleco, after the previous inhabitant (a black convict) died from a very bad case of...
