Ok so, the dollar per gallon sale was too tempting. I bought one and now would like some suggestions on what to put in it. I am wanting a single species tank for breeding. My water out of the tap leans toward Africans. Some kind of dwarf species is what I`m thinking. Open to all suggestions and...

I have a fish that I'm curious about. He has the longer face of a Chipokae but, his fins are gold tipped. He's maybe 6inch max. The undisputed heavy weight champ in my tank.

I have a 3 inch albino Socolofi that's been acting kind of crazy lately. He starts swimming real fast in a small area of my tank then goes nuts on any fish near. Mind you he's in with some pretty big boys, Chipokae, Crabro etc. I know he's trying to establish his place but, I didn't realize they...

I know they're not everyone's favorite but, around what size do they start coloring up? Also do females stay drab like real peacocks?

Anyone know what this little guy is? The guy at the LFS didn't know either so, I got him for a buck.

He's always scraped up but, today I noticed some spots on his snout.

Yesterday while at my LFS I noticed one of the most beautiful cichlids I`ve ever seen. Sciaenochromis fryeri. A beautiful specimen around 4 inches long. So, on impulse I bought him without doing any research. I took him home and put him in my Mbuna tank. Big mistake! At first all seemed well...

I'm soon to be buying a led setup for my tank. Its a 75 gallon African cichlid tank, no plants just rock work. I've kind of narrowed it down to 3 choices. The Current USA led +, Aqueon modular or the Beamswork single or double bright. These are within my price range. Anyone with experience with...

My friend who is soon to be deployed gave me this guy. He didn't know what he was either. Around 6 inches and very stout. He seems to be getting on well with my other mbuna. Thanks.

I saw them today at my LFS. Anyone have experience with these beauties?

I recently bought two dime sized Angelfish. They are currently in my QT but will be moved to a 40 gallon. My question is, are there any other small peaceful cichlids that can be housed with the Angelfish? I plan on using silk plants instead of live, I'm no good with plants. Any suggestions will...

Has anyone had one of these? Just a color variation? It`s hard to tell in the pic but, he`s pretty darn pink.

This guy is sort of the bully of my tank.

My tiny demasoni sticks real close to my female JD. (I know, mixing continents = bad). Hopefully he doesn't end up as an expensive lunch for her.

Around 1 inch?

Anyone looking for a massive aquarium? Dallas Craigslist has a 96x36x36 bow front for sale. It says $250 obo. This seems like one hell of a deal.

Just wondering if mbuna like moving water? I have plenty of surface agitation for gas exchange. I was thinking of buying a powerhead/wavemaker for current. Good idea, yes or no? Tank size is a 4ft. 75 gallon.

Ok, my 180 gallon plywood project is underway. Its going to take me a while to complete because of my work schedule, which gives me plenty of time to think. I've decided to stock " new world" cichlids. I'm really loving the andinocara rivulatus. I'd like to add a few more medium/large guys to...

My wife picked up this little guy yesterday from petsmart while buying dog food. It was in the dreaded "mixed mbuna" tank. Just wondering if it's a estherae or some kind of hybrid? Its around 1 inch.

My mbuna love shelled green peas. Is it ok to feed these every day? I use NLS as a staple.

I bought this little guy a few days ago and put him in a 10 gallon quarantine tank. He's about 2 inches. I want to let him grow some before I put him in the big boy tank. My question is, how long could he stay in there without harming him? He needs some size so he can stick up for himself if the...

I've read they can grow to 5 inches. Mine seems bigger than that. Its hard to judge size from the pic but, he's huge.

This little one is being chased a lot by a Jack Dempsey(3 inch). Is this because they look similar or, because they are male/female JD? I need a positive ID on the victim. Lol!

Has anyone used Purigen in a HOB? I was wondering if it would eliminate all my BB? Its supposed to take out all ammonia etc. Will this "starve" my good bacteria?

My female Dempsey has odd eating habits. She doesn't seem real interested in pellet but, picks at the substrate all the time. She does tear up some Omega One veggie wafers though. Her color is good, and seems fairly active. Is this normal?
