    Mystery pleco

    Hey everyone! I bought this pleco from Petsmart about a year ago under the impression it was an albino bristle nose. I figured he would grow out his little bristles once he was a little bigger since he was tiny when I brought it home. He has pretty much stopped growing in length now at about 3...

    Freshwater puffers

    You definitely need ramshorn/pond snails for them to wear their beaks down in their mouths. I believe another name for the dwarf puffer is pea puffer and I have had some of them and if you had a group they would definitely have to be alone. Try are like all puffers and very aggressive. There is...

    new tankmates

    I have always kept jack dempseys, cories, and clown loaches. I'm kind of surprised that the jacks ate them because cories have always been the least picked on by my larger, more aggressive fish.

    Electric Yellow Cichlid holding??

    I figured you may find more. The little egg looking thing on the bottom of h may be just that, it's egg. She may have spit them out too soon.

    Electric Yellow Cichlid holding??

    Many people get nothing their first few times so even a few live ones is good. Next time will be better I'm sure!

    Peaches The Oscar

    Give her time, she will have her own ideas about how the tank should look. I don't think i have seen an Oscar that didn't redecorate.

    Cory catfish

    I have had 5 in a 10g, and they were alone and loved it. I had more Cory fry than I knew what to do with but luckily I was friends with the owners of a pet store. It may not be recommended for 5, but they were very happy and 3 should do fine. Sexing them is harder. The only way I could tell is...

    I got a PAIR!!!

    I would also use as much water from the established tank as you can and put it into the new tank, it should guarantee a quick cycle.

    JD always hiding

    How you set up your decor makes a difference. If his cave is in the middle of the tank he will try to claim the whole thing. I like to build a spot up against the side of the tank for mine, and then you can see them if they are hiding too. Another larger fish to act as a dither fish may help...

    JD always hiding

    Personally I would leave the fish and remove the divider and, like they said, add caves. The community fish will help bring the jack out and make it more comfortable, It depends on that specific jack dempsey attitude weather or not it will bother the others. I have had jacks for a few years now...

    Electric Yellow Cichlid holding??

    You could put her into the smaller tank before you leave. Chances are she will still be holding when you get back. I have had electric yellows put out fry a dozen times and there will be 20 or 30 of them. She should hold for a while, I force my to left them go after 3 weeks by putting them in a...

    Jack dempsey sexing

    That's what I thought but I wasn't sure. It's the two males, and one of them is always shimmering at the female so I figured that was it. Thanks for the help with that, I have been going back and forth about witch ones were male for a while now.

    Jack dempsey sexing

    I was thinking exactly that. My only problem is that I don't know which ones are male n female. I have a 45g corner tank was going to stick the other male in. All I can do right now is take the one that is getting picked on the most out and hope he is a male
