I dont think I have very many Mts in the tank if any but he might have eaten something else he shouldn't have. I haven't added anything to the tank in a few months that could have introduced parasites, but I might try another Epsom salt dose and see if that works Sent from my iPhone using...

That could be possible and his stomach does seem to be sucked in, but I wasn't sure if that was because he wasn't eating. I had given him a Epsom salt bath when he first started acting weird, hoping that would do the trick, but I didn't notice a difference Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium...

The Angels are definitely not spawning. He seems to be sad but other times he is swimming around the tank and seems to be doing fine but then the next minute he will be laying on the sand so I'm not sure what to think Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

My nitrites readings are about 5-10 ppm. I am very consistent with my water changes and the tank is heavily planted Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

About 50% water changes and the nitrates are fine Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

It's a 55 gallon fully planted tank. He's probably about a year and a half to two years old. He's in the tank with 4 angels, 4 khuli loaches, 1 bushynose pleco, 3 Cory cats, and 2 bumble bee gobys. I do a water change every 2 weeks or every week and a half and the light is on for about 6-7 hours...

My electric blue Acara has been acting weird lately. He won't eat any food that I put in. He mostly sits on the sand discolored like in the pics. What might be the cause of this? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I have my 55 sitting on a stand with about 3 inch over hang on each side and it hasn't had a problem since I set it up over a year ago. I'm sure the inch will be fine without a problem

With two green terrors I would consider at least a 55. Lip locking, increased aggression and shaking are all good signs of possible breeding, but they also could be trying to show dominance/strength the same way considering you just got the male. They will most likely beat each other up quite a...

Yes it is an electric blue acara

Before and after rescape of my 55 Before After

Finally got around to doing a substrate change and a new scape on my 55 gallon. Still have to tweak it a little bit this is the first look as the water cleared Still plan on adding a few plants and fish any thoughts? Tank before rescape Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Id recommend khuli loaches, Cory cats, maybe gold or German blue ram or a dwarf gourami or an apistogramma. Tetras are always a good option

Angel fish are definitely one of my favorite cichlids!

55 gallon still waiting for some plants to grow in!
