Have a fire mouth in a 30g setting 50 up this weekend looking to get another cichlid to pair with?

Any experience with either? Can't decide on substrate here.

Okay so I bought 2 oscars about an inch in size. They seem to be just sitting on the bottom of the tank. When I walk over to the tank they swim over and then when it's feed time they eat and are lively. Just wondering why they seem to just hang in the corner at the bottom for now. Water...

Okay so I recently bought 2 oscars which are currently in a 30 gal with a 55 gal HOB filter. I have a 55 in the works and I want to go with a canister filter. Any recommendations?

Okay so I have a strange question. Whenever I turn my light on in my aquarium, the fish go to the bottom don't move much and hide but as soon as I turn it off they swim like everything is normal. Any ideas why?

Hey guys, friend gave a 50 gal tank and I was wondering what cichlids you would suggest for a 50?

Has anyone ever had 1 of each in the same tank? How did it go?

Thinking about getting a 55 gallon. Really love oscars but that would most likely be too small of a tank. Is there any way it could work? I don't want it to just work either I want the fish to thrive. What cichlid is good for a 55 gal? EBJD? All opinions welcome!

So my FM decided to eat one of my Otto cats last night. Usually doesn't bat an eye to guppies but must've been feeling frisky last night. He had it hanging from his mouth last night but has since spit it out. It looks like he can't close his mouth now and one of the spikes must've punctured his...

My pair of firemouths recently had fry, everything seemed fine and now all of the sudden the male looks stressed is sitting at the top doesn't look good at all. What could the problem be and what should I do?

I picked up a bushy nose pleco yesterday and I was wondering about some things. do I absolutely have to have live plants for them? I have fire mouths and I don't want to put plants in the tank because they'll uproot it. I have caves and what not which I know plecos like as well. also I don't...

I have 2 FM in a 30 standard and I want to get a bushy nose pleco. Thoughts?

Okay so I wasn't expecting to come home and see fry swimming about y tank I thought my FM were way too young to breed obviously I was wrong. What steps do I need to take? The FM are the only fish in the tank but should I separate them or what? Totally new to fry

Okay so I moved 2 of my FM to a new tank. I moved them one by one. When I moved the first one it hid in the rocks. A few days later when I introduced the other FM to the thank they did the usual chase around the tank a few times and then the newly added one is now hiding in the rocks and the...

Let's see all of you firemouth pics!! (Sorry bored at work)

Okay so all I hear about is caves and they love caves. I have a FM pair and they don't even look at the caves let alone go in them. Does anyone else experience this? I have rocks stacked up an a big artificial rock with holes and over hang but they just don't seem interested.

I've had my new 30 gal up and running for about 9 days now I moved the filter media from my old tank to the new one and have been hitting it with QuickStart. I don't show any ammonia or nitrites ph is 7 and my nitrates are about 10. I don't want to jump the gun and put the fish in too soon and...

What do you guys think of my set up? Any suggestions?

What would be a good tank mate for a pair of FM in a 30 gal?

Is 4 FM too many for a 30gal?

Just wanted to post some pics :)

Any reason why my FM won't eat the guppies left in the tank? They ate about 7 of them but there's still 5 left and it's been like 2 weeks and they haven't eaten them yet.

what would a few good tank mates for an EBJD be in a 65 gallon?

Okay so I'm thinking about getting at 65 gallon tank. I love oscars but I know that if I get 2 oscars they will be the only 2 fish in there and really should only have 1 in there. If I had 1 oscar in there would there be any other fish I could stick with it so it is not the only fish in the...
