Good ideas. It is a lone GT with an albino pleco of some sort about 5 inches long. 46 gallon bow front. The GT hides in the cave all day so I was hoping if I got some tankmates it wouldn't be so antisocial. 46 gal may not be big enough tho. I have a longer tank that is 65 that houses 4 very...

What a beautiful fish! Thank you for your time and help. I don't know why it is such a big deal that I know the sex but to me it is like knowing the names of all my hostas in my gardens...... I don't plan on getting another one but I am looking for tank mate ideas. I would like a little added...

Thanks everyone! I was hoping he wouldn't be a monster. I don't really have room for 2 huge fish in this tank but I would be willing to upgrade if I had too. It does a really good job of keeping the tank clean so I hope it can hold its own with my GT.

I have an Albino Plecostomus that was sold to me as a bristlenose so I thought the max length would be 5 inches. When I look at bristlenose pictures elsewhere mine does not look like them. I got it in January and it was about 2 inches. Can someone help me with how big this will get so I can plan...

Was wondering if anyone can help me ID the sex of my green terror. I got in January when it was about an inch long and it is now 4-5 inches.

Thank you She was my first fish and had her since she was 3 months old. https://goo.gl/photos/JoLhNRm55eCpxqAL8 If the link works, this is her today...definitely not good

I currently have a 5 year old female convict cichlid who is dying. she quit eating about a week ago and with the help of my local fish stores I have tried everything to save her but they think she has dropsy. she is nose down and has been for 3 days. she has always been the only one in the tank...

I have a 5 year old female convict cichlid who every few months gets real fat and refuses to eat. She sulks around in her cave and puts her nose to the ground and loses her beautiful orange color. I am afraid to put a male in the tank with her first of all because I don't want 50 babies and...

As many as she can track down. ;-)

sorry swifty, I thought you were asking me until I reread...

We feed her one to two hikari carnivore pellets twice a day. If she doesn't want to eat, she will not come out of her cave. Once in a while we give her a mashed pea and about once a week she gets half a cube of blood worms.

I keep trying to talk my husband into letting me get her a boyfriend but he doesn't know what we would do with the babies. Can you spay or neuter fish? :-) Her coloring is beautiful. In the morning we notice a lot of blue. She usually only eats 2 hikari sinking carnivore pellets twice a day and...

These are better pictures of her year b-day? Didn't realize how bad that other one came out.

The top picture is when we got her last July and the second picture was taken last week when she was digging a nest for her eggs. We love our McKayla.

I bought a bag of frozen peas and just take out a couple of peas a day and set them on the counter for a few min, then peal the shells off and split in about 4 pieces and drop in the tank. I don't ever cook. I figured in the wild no one cooks for them and boiling destroys the nutrients so raw it...
