Thank you for the advice. Much appreciated. Sent from my iPhone using

So my cichlids came down with white spot last week. I upped the temp to 30 degrees which is the temp the white spot can't multiply at. I have medicated the tank for the 3 days it says and I have only had the lights on minimal amounts and I added aquarium salt. The white spots have disappeared...

This is my first ever cichlid tank. It has been up and running since Christmas and I love it. It's really coming together. I'm thinking of swapping out some ocean rock for som granite. If there is anything people could suggest I do or advice on the hard scaping. I'm all ears. Sent from my...

Hi guys. I recently bought this lovely fish. It was described at the store as an Electric Blue Maingano Johanni. After much research I have found out that they are infact two different breeds. What I would like to know is what is this? Is it a Maingano or a Johanni. As I believe female Johanni...

I would have to treat the whole tank as that's the only tank I have. So take the carbon stones out but keep the media in the filter yeh? Sent from my iPhone using

So I found I dead platy this morning. She was starting to look a bit discoloured yday. I have noticed for a couple of days my other platy is clamping her top fin down, not eating and swimming very weirdly. I have put her in a breeder container and she isn't eating. Can someone please help?

No. He was pretty big. Probably the biggest in the tank

I have hollow ornaments that he isn't in. I have taken filter out and cleaned it so not there and I've looked behind tank but as I said I have a lid so he couldn't get out. Would he bury himself in the sand?

So I introduced a chocolate zebra Plec in to my tank on Friday. He immediately swam and hid on the bogwood in my tank. Today I cleaned my tank out. Lifted all the ornaments. The Plec is nowhere to be seen. I have a lid on my tank so there is no way out? I'm so confused!?

I'm not arguing with you. The blue one is female. They had male and female blue ones there. You could tell the difference from the shape and fins but all of them were very blue. The red ones the females were grey and the makes red.

Look at these descriptions. If you look at mine. You will see my blue one has a wider girth, rounded fin. Hence a female and the red is narrower with a pointed fin. Hence male.
