Are red tail sharks and neons compatible? Thanks, Blizzard.

This may seem to be a strange topic, but how does one go about feeding these monsters!?!! I drop shrimp pellets in and my pleco wont touch them. Do you have to drop them right in front of their face? -Blizzard.

Well I'm asking because I'm pretty sure I've got two males. The bigger one will not leave the smaller one alone. He forces the smaller fish into hiding for a few minutes, then he will be brave enough to come back out. But then as soon as the bigger fish sees him he will chase him into hiding...

What is the best way to sex yellow lab (electric yellow) cichlids? Both of mine have a good amount of black in their fins. I will try to put up some pictures today if I can. -Blizzard.

Why is it that cichlids need a higher PH level? Can they still live with a lower PH level? -Blizzard.

Alright, thanks guys. -Blizzard

Yeah, this sounds like a good community. Here's a good compatibility chart: http://www.liveaquaria.com/general/fwcompatibility_chart.cfm

The tank is ten gallons in size. They are about 1.5-2 inches long, and I would only put about 2 or 3 in the tank.

Yeah, and remember the general 1 inch of fish to gallon rule. -Blizzard

As pleco said, the rainbows and angels would definitely outgrow the tank. The corys would work, but IDK if I'd put loaches in there as they would soon outgrow the tank. How about a small school of neon or rummynose tetras? -Blizzard.

Would it be okay for me to put a couple baby electric yellows with my pepperd corys? It would only be temporary until they outgrow the tank and move into my 55 gal malawi tank. -Blizzard

Ha, I'd like to see someone try to keep one of those.... -Blizzard

Could you keep a yellow lab/electric yellow cichlid in a ten gal? It would only be temporary until I get my 30 gal. They would be babies too. -Blizzard

Me too, lol!

My bad for putting this in the wrong forum. But yeah, I have photoshop. -Blizzard

Yeah, gouramis would be great. IDK about the bala. Also, maybe a pleco? -Blizzard

I need help getting my new avatar to fit. It's the right pixel size, but it's more than 12 kb's. How can I make it smaller but still keep relatively good quality.

The only thing I see that could be a problem is the rainbow sharks. They may pick on the smaller fish. Here's a good compatability chart: http://www.liveaquaria.com/general/fwcompatibility_chart.cfm -Blizzard

My ammonia is 0.5 and my nitrites are hovering around .1 (Nitrates are 0.) The water is very very cloudy though. Is this normal in a cycling aquarium? Should I go ahead and do a water change. Thanks, -Blizzard.

Enigma's right, don't worry about the cycle taking longer because you have to do a water change, do whatever's best for the fish. -Blizzard.

Try to keep the ammonia and nitrite levels below .5 ppm. I'm currently cycling my tank and im getting ammonia: .5 ppm nitrite .5ppm and nitrate 0 ppm If your ammonia or nitrite levels rise to 1 ppm or above, I'd do a 10 - 20 % water change. This should drop the levels a good bit. So far...

I just fed them, and checked the water a few minutes later. Ammonia: .50 ppm Nitrites .50 ppm Nitrates 0 ppm If it gets any higher I'll do a water change, but as for now it lookin good. Can someone explain to me how to put pictures in a post? Thanks, Blizzard.

I set up my ten gallon fw Thursday and began the cycle with fish food. During this time I wasn't watching the water levels because I didn't have a test kit. So, yesterday I went and got a test kit at my LFS and while there, decided to pick up some long fin zebra danios. (4 of them.) I...

Thanks for the advice, ill start the cycle immediatly. What kind of water levels should I be looking for to tell me the tank is ready? -Blizzard.

What kind of corys go best in a ten gallon?
