My cichlids nip me all the time. I have one that won't eat unless I hand feed him, (who knew you could spoil your fish 8O ) Anyway, I also take it as affection.

Ok, I used the python today. And as Zagz said, I won't ever use anything else. My back is very grateful that I don't have to carry buckets of water outside anymore either. Thanks for all the great advice. And I treat with dechlor for the amount of water I take out. BUT, on what Titus just...

You're supposed to be able to hook this thing up to your faucet and vacuum your entire tank, ( I got that part down). But then it says you can flip the little switch and put water directly back into your tank. This is where my problem lies. Isn't that extremely bad for your fish? Temperature...

So sorry for your loss! :cry:

I found a good site explaining getting rid of Green cloudy water. http://www.aquariaplants.com/cloudygreenwater.htm

I have a Black banded Leporinus and he is very peaceful. He is with Bala sharks and tiger barbs. For awhile, the tiger barbs were chasing him around and nipping so I put him in with my cichlids and they almost ate him (he's 4inches). But like everything else, personalities differ.

I'm sorry to report that my albino died this morning. I had set up a qt tank, but just minutes after putting him in there he died. :cry:

I have a snow white albino cichlid that has been picked on ruthlessly today. I don't have a qt tank as I can't afford one right now. But anyway, his pectoral fins are almost gone. Obviously, he can't swim and the other cichlids are picking on him even more. I put him in my community tank and...

The Leporinus is fine. He hangs out with the red tail eating whatever they can off the bottom. About the size, I sent my husband to Petsmart to pick up cichlid food and he came home with this fish for my 10 yr old son (the 20gal is in his room) I asked if he talked to anyone about this fish...

I'm referring to the albino. I just came back with 2 more, so let's see if that helps.

I have a 55gal cichlid tank. All of my fish are getting along great except for my Snow White Socolofi. My friend gave "him" to me when she moved. He's the one I have and is about 2 1/2 inches. He's a holy terror. Noone I know has a cichlid tank to where I could give him away. ( I really don't...

Thanks for the advice. I may do convicts or something like that, definitely something S. American.

I just bought a 40 gal tank. I will probably do 2 Oscars. Until I can set it up, would it be ok to put my filter on my other tank (56 gal) to get the media started on it. The 56 has an Emperor 400. Would this cycle my tank faster? I plan on doing a water change when I fill up my new tank and...
