I'm interested in Parrot cichlids but i'm not sure if 50 gallons is enough for them?

I have a 50 something gallon long stock tank out in our barn thats almost finished cycling but I have no idea what i'm gonna put in it, I already have goldies in my 55g inside so I dont want any more coldwater fish. temp is about 73F but the heater is only 100w so its cranked up to 95 degrees...

oh alright! thank you!

i was thinking about getting a 20g long and making a bunch of dividers for the fry when they're older. the male is currently in his own 10 gallon and the female is in a sorority in my 55g. when the female goes into the spawn tank, how long does it usually tank for her to drop eggs? i'm gonna...

I'm not 100% sure of his age, but my lfs says they usually sell males at 6 months or so. I was gonna empty one of my 10 gallons and use that as the spawn tank, I'm ordering some indian almond leaves to boil and use the tannins for the tank & a sponge filter. I've been doing tons of research and...

anyone?

oh wow, i didnt know they needed so much room. shes no longer clamping her fins or chasing the females, and ive just noticed some tiny fry swimming at the bottom. i put some terra cotta pots at the bottom for more hiding areas and they seem to be doing okay. the other 3 girls are doing fine...

hi ive just recently noticed one of my female platys is clamping her fins and chasing around the other females. tank is cycled (20 gallons) ammonia 0 ppm, nitrite 0, nitrate 20. ive had her for about 2 weeks now and she was perfectly fine before :( all the other fish seem fine. just yesterday...

Today I noticed my platy and honey gourami have white and stringy poo...Is this okay? 2 weeks ago I tested my water and my ammonia was 0.25, so I did daily 25% changes for about 9 days. my gouramis and platy just sit at the top (or at the bottom) of the tank all day. they still eat, and...
