So I recently set up a 20gal and started off with a couple platys and one Molly.. When I got home from work and went to feed them I realized there were 3( that I've seen so far) babies! I've never dealt with this... Any advice?

I've had a peacock eel in my 55 for close to a year now. he stays buried most of the time and i have never see him eat.. But I do drop bloodworms in at night and put in ghost shrimp occasionally and they seem to disappear over the span of a week or so...and he's still alive.. Don't give up(:

Misspelled electric* Thanks.. I've also heard that the pseudotropheus sp does not go well with the labidochromis..is this correct? And would the cobalt blue zebra work well? (Metriaclima callainos)

So I've got a 55gal and I'm looking into trying to keep Malawi cichlids.. Currently only have one yellow lab..it's about 2 inches.. I've been researching tank mates and seem to find a thousand different answers.. I'm considering getting more labs and I really like the electron blue haps and...

I really like the rainbow and the bandit cichlids.. would those be okay with my barbs and blood parrot?

Just want to take the time to say how much I appreciate all of your help and advice.. I've seen a lot of replies on this forum where more knowledgable aquarists are really putting down those who may not know as much ..so THANK YOU! So.. After research, I found new homes for my JD and both...

Currently setting up an extra 20 gal so that I can remove the two convicts.. Think this will buy me time? Or should I move different fish to the 20gal?

How many do you have?.. Most schooling fish prefer groups of odd numbers (3,5 etc..)

Should I separate some of them?

Opinions??? After thinking that my peacock eel was dead.. I decided to clean and restart my 55g long o'dell tank. But.. During cleaning I discovered that my eel was still alive.. So I continued the cleaning and after a few days I added new fish. 1 Peacock Eel 1 Parrot (pink in color) 2 Black...
