So I was in my lfs looking for a new fish, something unique looking when I came across the African butterfly fish. In the week I've had it, it has become my favorite fish by far. I have it in a community tank but I enjoy it so much I'm considering setting up either a species specific tank, or...

Ph is 7.3. Gh 3. Kh is 7. Those are similar to the lfs that I purchased them from I believe the last time I checked. And yes they are all from the same place. I only have a petco and one local fish store near me. Sent from my SM-N920P using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Thank you for the tips but it seems as though the albino krib would be difficult to get around here. I'd be willing to ship but unfortunately it is -6 Fahrenheit today. I'd looked at the bolivian rams but it seems as though they do not have nearly the color as the German blue rams. I'd kicked...

I have a 29 gallon planted that I have been running for a while now. It's got a bristlenose, 5 emperor tetra and a baby angelfish at the moment. I have been attempting to get a nice showy cichlid for the bottom of the tank but cannot seem to keep German blue rams alive. I've just lost my 3rd...

No I have not added anything since a sponge filter about a month and a half ago. The bloodworms are the frozen hikari blood worms. I have 4 other agassizii eating them without an issue for almost a year so unsure if that is the case. The male died in the night in the quarantine tank. so far...

I thought I saw my apistogramma agassizi had ich. However, the spots look different than the other times I've dealt with ich and he seems to have several other symptoms. Fat lips and mouth open all the time. Breathing heavy, fins torn but he's the bully of the tank so I know it's not from the...

So I came home from work today and have noticed tiny white spots around most of my fishes fins. After researching it seems it's what I've been fearing since getting into tanks is here. Luckily I have some aquarium salt laying around just in case this happened. I added a tablespoon to a 5...

Ok perfect. I'll relocate the loaches instead then. Thank you for the help everyone! Sent from my SM-N920P using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Fairly sure as the male has a deep red on his fins. I've attached the best pictures of the male and what I think (hope) are the females. Sent from my SM-N920P using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Sorry I thought I'd put apistogramma at the front. 4 of those guys Sent from my SM-N920P using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I finally got the agassizi harem I've been waiting for my lfs to get and have got them all in my 55 gallon. Now that I've got them in there though I'm having the debate on whether or not I should put them in my 29 gallon. I'd like them to breed, if for nothing else than to see the behavior or...

I've got two aqua clear 70s running and do once weekly water changes now in the 52. Another aquaclear 70 in the 29. If and when I get the rest of the plecos may up it to two water changes a week. Sent from my SM-G860P using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I recently took on a few rescue fish as a friends tank cracked and he needed a place to keep the fish so they wouldn't die. I currently have 3 tanks set up and was able to appropriately accommodate all of his fish. My question is that when we went to put his albino longfin bristlenose pleco...

I recently got a great deal on a 52 gallon flatback hex. Dimensions are 48"Lx 16"W and 18"H, maybe 16" once all the substrate is said and done with. I've got a Fluval LED Planted light in my 29 gallon medium planted and it works fantastic. Unfortunately, the 48" model is a bit out of my price...

update the angelfish is now dead. all my other fish seem normal so far but I fear the worst. Please let me know if you have any ideas what I could do?
