Just bonded with my boys today, i trained them to take food from my hand and let me pet them. My biggest buy, a red collar of 3 inches is the bravest and would pick and eat pellets from my cupped hand. I first got them to get used to me and used to my food container, they rush to the corner...

I have a Fluval 406, was wondering how often do you guys do maintenance on it, such as rinsing the sponge and replacing carbon/etc?

I had to exchange a yellow female lab for a male today, I also picked up a Black Fin I get home and i acclimate and introduce both the yellow lab and black fin. The yellow lab was at home right away, making friends and exploring. No problems at all The Black Fin started to breath rapdily...

So i just discovered my yellow lab is a female...i got it as a small juvi and she has grown quite fast. I suspected she was female as my lemon jake always follows her and recently became more aggressive to his tank mates especially when they were around her. I vented and she is indeed female...

can someone point me in the direction of anti-parasite food that I can buy online? Pretty sure my cichlids have internal parsites juding from slight sunken stomach and white poop. i cant find this jungle anti-parasite food anywhere...can someone shoot me a link or recommend something that is...

I adopted a 4.5'' red shoulder from my fathers tank. He was out growing the tank and I thought it be a good idea to introduce him to mine as I had a hyper dominate ruby. Well now this big boy is boss and hes not that much better than the Ruby. All my other cicihlids are between 2 to 3.5...

I adopted a 4in red shoulder peacock from my dad's tank, his is overcrowded and his tank is too small for this red shoulder. I assumed it is a male due to the coloration and from my amateur venting experience it was a o o. Now that i introduced it to my tank. My Ruby crystal was trying to...

I have a hyper dominant male peacock. He chases anyone that gets in his way or swims in his direction. No nipping but he loves to chase. I dont really see him seek out others to bully but whoever crosses him gets a good chase. All the other peacocks dont bother each other. I hate to get rid of...

Unfortunately one of my guys has ich, just noticed yesterday. Hes the only one and the spots were so faint, but im 100% sure and i confirmed with my lfs. Since i do not have a separate tank and the others are exposed i am treating everyone with higher temp and salt. Did a 20% pwc, vacuumed...

Since my tank finished cycling, I bought 3 "ruby crysta" "blooddragon" "whatever you want to call it" hybrids. They were cheap and i figure it would be a good way to test my water to see if they would do well in the new cycled tank while monitoring my water. If they died, then no big deal as I...

So i got these 3 "ruby crystal" peacocks to start off my tank. The really orange one seems like hes the boss, the other two follow him and he has his own hiding space. They dont fight at all and usually swim together. Do the other two look like males or females? They lose their color when...

Hi all, I am new to the hobby. I just set up my 55G tank for cichlids and I am a bit confused on if my fishless cycling is working or not. Here is my log so far... tap water baseline nitrite .50 nitrate 10 or 20, API master test kit color guide looks too similar for my crappy eyes I...
