    brichardi cichlids, species only?

    I have a 30 gallon tank with lots of rocks and hiding places. Originally I got 2 brichardi cichlids. Shortly after getting them there were lots of babies. About a year later one of the original parents and two of the juveniles are alive. Can I put other fish in here? More brichardi cichlids? I...

    25 gallon Brichardi tank

    I have a 25 gallon tall aquarium with sand and large rocks to replicate a tanganyikan setup. The pH is about 8 and the water is pretty hard. I had two brichardis in there, both of which were about 2 inches long maybe. One was almost definately male and the other female. Today I found the female...

    stocking suggestions?

    I recently moved my fish from a 10 gallon tank into a 20 gallon long. My fish include 3 platies and 10 harlequin rasboras. Any suggestions on other fish I could have? The tank is well filtered and has a sandy bottom with some small river stones and a few large rocks.

    Small white slugs?

    yeah they sound like nematodes / planaria. not dangerous, your fish may eat them, but they signify a not so clean tank

    Racist Platys

    yes mine were like that too! That's funny. I had three black females and two black/orange females, and two males and a few babies and they all seemed to stick with others of their same color. The black females wouldn't tolerate anyone coming into their area.

    Rubbermaid Tank

    I would worry about chemicals leeching out of the plastic maybe (?) especially with possible interactions with medications or salts you may put in the water.

    Keeping crabs correctly

    I haven't been posting on here in ages because I've been keeping Madagascar roaches for the last several months and don't have an aquarium. However, I miss aquariums and am considering getting a setup for a small colony of red claw crabs. I know people often keep these guys in tanks that are...

    Masked Julie pair

    I have a 20 gallon long and I was thinking about putting a pair of masked julies in there by themselves. Any opinions? Can they have any other tank mates? Will they be boring in there by themselves? Advice? :)

    Hair algae nightmare

    It may be time to admit defeat. I've the EI index and no luck. The algae is everywhere and it looks terrible. I've come to the conclusion that the fact that I basically don't have CO2 is the problem. I had been using DIY CO2 but it didn't work very well so I removed it. The algae was a big...

    Hair algae nightmare

    I have an issue with hair/thread/possibly staghorn algae. My tank is 20 gallon long with the lights on 4 hours, off 4, on 4 and I do no use any fertilizers. I have a DIY CO2 setup which probably is mostly useless. My tank is not overrun by algae quite yet but its pretty bad and my hair grass...

    Gourami died suddenly :(

    I don't actually have a nitrite test kit {cowers in shame} but I'll have to get one today when I go to the fish store. Now that Mr.Gourami-san has died I'm not sure what else to put in my tank if anything. 3 platys, 4 cories and 4 gold barbs, plus 2 ottos is what I have. Maybe some more gold...
