I have a 40 breeder made by Zilla that I got from petco a few years ago to house a bearded dragon. Will this work to put water in? I need to setup a nursery tank for some cichlid fry and I have a spare fluval 306 for filtration. Would it be able to hold water safely? Sent from my iPhone using...

Can someone help me ID this guy? I got 7 Africans with my new tank and I can ID only one... I think he may be a type of compressiceps? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I am excited to be on this forum and have a great knowledge base to draw from. I have had a bunch of tanks when I was younger but I haven't had any for about 10 years. Recently we scored my dream tank. 240 gallons! It currently has 3 Blood Parrots and 7 assorted African cichlids that I have yet...
