+1 to this, I would also recommend staying away from tiger barbs, they have awesome colors and look great with other fish but they are little nippers. I learnt that fast adding them to my community tank awhile back.

I'm sorry :(

Most annoying thing for me is when my hubby and I bash heads over our fish. It's cool to share your hobby with your loved one.. But at times it gets frustrating.. Especially fighting over where we are going to put our new tank.

Omg that's awesome! Wish I could have aquarium plants but too noob lol!!

If there by themselves I'm sure it will be fine. Best of luck!

I wouldn't recommend mixing African and South American cichlids together.. That's just me tho! Not trying to troll :)

Okay, the active ingredient in melafix is melaleuca 1.0%.. So if they don't make melafix there look for something with that ingredient or even a basic slime coat/ stress relief treatment I think would be fine

Not sure what other people do, but I added a little bit of Melafix and kept the lights off noticed improvements within a day

+ 1 to this. Same thing with my iridescent shark when he jumps out of the tank.

Sorry to hear about your fish :( happens to the best of us. I recently had the same thing happen to my tank and hubby had to push me back into the hobby. So good for you for getting back out there!! Hope everything is going well :) and good luck with the ropefish we recently got one and we love...

Following this! Can't wait to see the results! Congrads on the baby!! :)

Welcome to AA!! :)

+1 to this! After reading this I went and grabbed my cichlid gold pellets read the back and your right it's complete crap! Off to the fish store I go to buy better food for my fish. Thanks for pointing this out!
