i do also have a canister, a fluval 404 and then the 2 fluval 4 plus internal filters. This tank was up for about 2 years untill about 2 weeks ago when i went on vacation for a few days and something tripped the power off i guess and i lost all the fish. So i changed the substrate from black to...

I have 2 trays of ceramic rings in my fluval 404 for my cichlid tank. They are the fluval brand that came with teh filter when i bought it just over a year ago. I know it says to change half of the ceramic rings after 6 months. Do i really have to change them every 6 months if i rinse them once...

Hi, i just set up a brand new 55 gal and am making it an african cichlid tank. My friend has 20 or so africans that he wants to gte rid of as he doesnt have the time to care for them. I know these fish have been through some rought water conditions, for example only cleaning his tank once every...

what if you live in canada and they dont have a canadian site do you think it would work?

Do u know the name of this cichlid? I am pretty certain it is not an acei as it may look like 1 in the pic. he looks more like a mbuna. His fins are not yellow but a deep golden colour with light and medium purple stripes. I got him from a mixed tank at big als which didnt have a name posted...

I have just added crushed coral in my filter to increase the buffering capacity in my cichlid tank and was just wondering how long does it take to become active at boosting kh as ive read it doesnt happen right away and does it also increase the ph and how often do i need to take it out and put...

My Big Als just got some Tropheus Duboisi in as juveniles. I love the look of these guys and the guy also told me once they reach adult age they dramastically change to having a blue head with a white or yellow stripe and a black body. He told me to keep them singly or in groups of more then 10...

Im getting new lights for my 55 gal for xmas becasue the stock lights thatc ame with the tank dont seem to show my fish's colours well. It stocked with african cichlids of mostyly blue/purple and yellow colours. he yellow is already vibrant but the blue on all my fish isnt so much. Would this be...

I have a Mbuna tank and hear these are pretty much the only plants cichlids dont like and dont require a lot of work as ive never kept plants before and i want to make it as easy as possible. I have a few questions... my substrate is black tahitian moon sand but isnt very thick at all because i...

I think my 5'' Yellow lab is holding although im not positive becasue ive never had a pregnant fish but from straight on her cheeks look a bit bigger then they shoudo be and when she opes her mouth i can see a redish orange colour which i think may be eggs. When a female lab is holding what...

she hasnt eaten in 3 days maybe 1 pellet here and there and seems to be hiding in teh cave a lot more now she comes out rarely for a swim thejn after a minute goes right back in.

does it look like my female yellow lab is already holding or no? Not a very good pic but ill take anotehr as soon as she comes outta the cave lol

This will be my first attempt at breeding and im going to try with yellow labs first as i heard there are relatively easy and once they start they dont stop lol. I have a 55 gal african tank then a 10gal tank im going to use to breed. i have 4 labs, 1 female about 4-5 inches and 3 others unsure...

I was wondering what are some interesting species compatible of living with african cichlids. I want something for the bottom of my tank that will also eat any uneaten food and i was wondering about a crayfish. I read somewhere that they are compatible with africans and eat almost anything on...

I use a python to clean my 55 gal with pool filter sand substrate. When i vaccum the sand it actually sucks the sand right up right to the sink so i tryed using a normal gravel vac and just putting teh hose into a big tub then dumping teh tub after but it did the exact same thing. The lython...
