I bought all the fish at the same time. As a matter of fact the Juli shared a bag with my Leleupi and he was picking on the Lelupi then. I do not have another tank, but I hope to get a QT when I can get some extra money. I did a PWC and I rearranged my tank and the only thing I got was grief...

Hello, I was wondering if I can call on you guys once more for some advice. I own 5 cichlid fish and 1 cat and 1 pleco living in a 29G tank. These are the African smaller sized cichlids, so space is not a problem or so I was told. Anyway, my problem is with my Julidochromis Marlieri...

Thanks! I will try to get the temp. down and add a capfull of water conditioner. Stripes is still hanging in there, if he has not died yet, can I take that as a good sign? Gerald

Hello, Please help! I have a Neolamprologus Cylindricus Cichlid that is just lying on the gravel. He will not eat or swim. There are no spots or unusual markings on the fish. All other fish appear fine at the moment, it is just this cylindricus. What I have done recently: I did a major...

Good ideas, I will try it out on the next time. Should I just get my money back are try 2 new fish from the same LFS? Probably not, I will have to try another one. Gerald

Hello, I just bought a couple of Plecos for my 30 gallon tank that has 5 African cichlids and 1 catfish. See attachment for fish profiles. I was told that these plecos get along with African cichlids so I bought 2 of them to work on my tank. I had done a PWC a couple of days before placing...

Making arrangements for the pets to be cared for is a sign of responsible pet owners, leaving them behind to die is not. I am sure it is hard to leave a pet behind, but arrangements for their care after you leave is a good sign. Often when someone moves, the option of having pets is no longer...

That is sad! I have a friend who was telling me about people he came across with who left cats behind. He has a kind heart so he takes these cats into his house and becomes his new pets. He has around 15 cats now, he is known simply as the Catman. Gerald

Wow, I wish I live up north, living in the deep south, we deal with 80 degree temps at night starting in early May! :onfire: Oh, with 90 - 100 humidity! We NEED a/c all the time, there may be two days between fall and winter and winter and spring that is pleasant. ;) Gerald

I will have to invest in a fan, the a/c goes out every year in my house, this is the third year in a row that the a/c failed in the month of June. When I did my first PWC, I had the hot water set to high and the temp. shot up to 90 degees so I dumped a bunch of ice cubes in with my Stress Coat...

Thanks for the great information and views that everyone is putting here in this post. I am new and did the fishless cycle with some mistakes on my part. All-in-all, the fishless cycle is the best way to go with the kind of fish I wanted to stock my tank. I have cichlid fish and I read that they...

A/C guy saved the day and ac is repaired. Thanks for the help , I love this site! Gerald

Frozen water bottles! Thanks a million!!! I never thought of that, cool. I will try it and let you know how this comes out. Later, Gerald

My air condition broke last night and I am worried about my cichlid fish. I am new and just bought 6 cichlid fish. I also live in the outskirts of New Orleans, LA. which gets pretty hot and humid at this time of year. Temperatures generally get up in the mid 90's with 100% humidity. The...

Thanks, all this info. is helping me, I am only using the auto feeder when I am going out of town. Gerald
