What happens if I stripped my female lab to early? I saw eyes and was unsure how far along the fish was and I bought it off a stranger who didn't know she was holding, so no time line. Didn't strip all babies as I saw that the fry wasn't ready. They had eyes and brown sacks on their bellies...

Hey guys I have built a corner tank out if old windows dimensions are 32x32x18x12x12. I know that's to many measurements but the picture1 will explain them. I cut all my pieces to the size I needed and laid them out in the order I would silicone them together, picture 2. After that I used type...

Just bought this 125 gallon tank today $100. Stand is ok tank is in good shape. Going to reseal it just for piece of mind. Maybe I will put my demasoni in this tank.

I have a 180 tank with 5 yellow labs, 3 red zebras, and 8 yellow top mbamba. Can I add 10 crabo bumble bees, and 10 johannis? Are they compatible. They will all be smaller fish. The ones I have now are 1-1 1/2 long and the new ones will be similar size.

Going tone in Nashville tn this weekend. On Saturday. Would like to find a breeder in or near Nashville. Looking for either Central American cichlids or mbuna. I have two different tanks set up, I know not to mix them.

Finally got my tank into the house. I had to support the floor under the tank to hold the weight. Got the plumbing hooked up, tank decorated, working on getting my sump tank hooked up, and set up. Hopefully get water and some old media out of my other tank and get this this cycling.

I have a 200 gallon tank that I am setting up, with a 75 gallon sump tank. Running 1 inch pipe for overflow and from pump. Question is what size pump and what brand would you suggest?

Tonight I am buying a complete 55 gallon setup for salt water that will be converted to freshwater. It's a complete set up. Tank, stand, lights, filters and all chemicals needed. The best part is its only a little over a tear old and I am giving $50. All I really need is the tank. Great find.

Just like I stated. Wanting to plumb my tank and looking for some ideas.

Just as stated. Many people have asked. Found this today. Hope it helps some.

Had a tank I wanted to set up but I didn't have a top for it so I made one out of spare glass that I had from a previous tank build. What do you guys think about it. Still have to make cross piece, but I am still working on that.

I had a spare tank in the garage, and a few fish showing interest in breeding. So I figured that I needed to set up a grow up fry tank. It will only be used to give the fish a chance to get big enough to go back into main tank. I set it up in my girls room because they have been asking for...

I have fallen in live with my pseudotropheus demasoni, and I have seen a few others in the same family that are good looking fish. My question to the experts is, what would be a good grouping for a 180 gallon tank. And what kind of numbers could it hold. I will be running a 55 gallon sump under...

I was walking by my tank during supper looked over and caught my demasoni doing their breeding dance. These fish are just over 2 inches. I really hope they take. Would love to have more of these guys!!!

This is a 180 gallon tank that I bought last week. In the first pic you can see the nasty looking faux wood trim around the top and bottom. Didn't like the look of it so sanded the trim and painted it flat black really helped with the look I think. The stand that came with it was scary at best...

Just that does anyone know of a good place that has any selection of cichlids on my area.

Does anyone have much experience with this cichlid. I have two in a 55 gallon tank with a bottom feeder. There are two big double filters on the tank and parameters are all good. These two fish are very cool looking, but don't like each other. They may both be males. They both change colors...

I have found a 250 gallon tank for sale for $200. Going to look at it tomorrow. It's going to be a cichlid tank. That is why I posted here. Everyone keep fingers crossed!!

I have 6 labs, 6 demasoni, 6 of these guys. Just unsure the name. Wanting to add some more fish. They are in an 86 gallon tank I built with a 29 gallon sump filter. I do weekly 50% pwc. How many fish can I put in my tank safely. Will probably double my demasoni to curb aggression.

Went to lfs tonight and finally bought some fish for my 86 gallon tank I built. I got 6 labs, 6 demasoni, and I believe 5 on zebras. What's do you guys think. I am going to get 6 more demasoni on Tuesday to get a bigger group. Bought all that they had today. The tank has a 30 gallon sump for...

Had an overflow built out of 3/4 decided that I wanted more flow so I built one out of 1 inch. Now I need a bigger sump pump. It works much better.

Went to Walmart tonight to buy some cheap pillows for the poly fill. Got lucky $2.50 so I bought two. Tell me if it made a huge difference. It has inly been two hours.

I got this fish from a friend who had no clue. Done some research but no luck.

My wife and I bought these two fish today on impulse. She really liked the way they looked. After getting them home and doing some research I found out they they get pretty big. That will be ok. They are cool looking fish and currently the only two in my 55. When they get bigger I can always...

I am trying to find some fellow enthusiast in the west ky, Paducah area. Only one lfs around here and a petsmart. Would like to meet some other like minded people.
