If you're able to add a small piece of lace rock in there, I would suggest a Sumo Loach. Interesting little guys that act similar to Gobys. I believe they max out at 1.5" or so. In my experience he'll most likely end up claiming the lace rock and burrowing or sitting on top of it. They do get...

Currently stocking a 120G tank and my LFS recently had a full-grown Rohan's Tear-drop barb in stock. Amazing looking fish but after doing a quick google, theres a lot of confusion between the Rohan's and Filament barb because they look so similar. Has anyone had experience with keeping either...

Recently upgraded to a 120G and I've been looking for some eel-like bottom dwellers for a tropical community. I plan on doing a school of Zebra or Yoyo loaches so I figure that should be taken into account. (Any opinions on the better of the two? I'm really torn 50/50.) I'm looking for a...

The Blue Gularis definitely catches my eye, any idea how that species might work out?

I recently gutted and restarted my 65G tank and am in the process of restocking it. I've never kept Killifish before but I find their colors to be very striking. I can't seem to find much information on the net about their behaviors in a community tank, and I am wondering if anyone has any...

I plan on upgrading to a 150G freshwater soon, and I'm looking for some opinions on whether to purchase a glass or acrylic aquarium. Money isn't really an issue, I'm 100% concerned about appearance and weight. Plus I've read conflicting articles saying acrylic will actually yellow over time if...

I feed my Otos Hikari algae wafers, and my Rams end up eating them... I don't complain though because the spirulina should brighten up their blues Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You could always soak some food in Garlic Guard too, even the pickiest of eaters will have a hard time resisting Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How will I know if they have spawned together or not? I've never kept Rams or any other variation of a cichlid before Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well a few days ago I managed to stumble across two beautiful longfin German Blue Rams. They were the only ones at my LFS that were not on hold(not a chain store). One is definitely male but the other I assumed is female because it has all the physical characteristics of a female aside from a...

How large would a gourami get? Considering I am looking for something on the smaller to medium size. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well so far I have 3 showcase fish in the tank, one being a male betta, and the other two being a male/female pair of longfin German blue Rams. Do you think a gourami would throw the visual aspect off? Also, I'm not sure about the temperament of gouramis... Currently all of my fish are...

I wouldn't be opposed to a larger species, I'm just trying to stay around .5" to 1.5" area if possible. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you're willing to do the work, most plants can be pruned and shaped to your personal preference. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Your driftwood is most likely going to leech tannins for some considerable amount of time, from my personal experience. I have a piece of Malaysian driftwood in my tank that is about 2 1/2' long and 1' tall. It was soaked and boiled for 3 days before I rubber banded a sizable rock to it and...
