thank you! I try not to let on in his presence lest his attitude get any bigger. :)

He's been hiding out a little more than usual so haven't seen much of him for a couple days but I caught him on the front wall of the tank and his underbelly seemed quite pale and he's taken on a yellow tinge, especially in the fins. Has anyone experienced this before? It makes me think of...

Hmmm thanks... these can be pretty hard to tell apart when it comes to individual variations, huh?

I've been digging around and my best guess is Pundamilia nyererei... Python or perhaps Ruti island?

Thanks! One thing that doesn't really show up in this photo is the darker vertical banding on the sides - convict style. They're not terribly dark, but they're definitely there and very straight. Is that still within the realms of normal expression for xmas fulus?

I'm starting a 10g tank of multies. They are supposed to be the smallest species of cichlid and only grow to about an inch and a half (or less). They're perfect for a 10g from what I've been told, but they like to dig around their shells (they're shell dwellers) I was planning to devise a...

Thanks, I just moved some stuff around with kind of the aquascaping mindset (which is a brand new concept for me), so it's good to hear some feedback. :)

My First Tank 10g FW unplanted w/ Red wag platies, fancy guppies, cory cats :D

Hi, my name is Ellen and I hail from cloudy Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA. I'm new to the forum and still pretty new to keeping aquariums as well! Here's a pic of the 10 g tank I've had for a while, but I just bought a couple more tanks (10g and 29g) and there's a big swap meet on Saturday so...
