That is one of my favorites, it has a lot of sources and strong examples.

I have as a matter of fact. Please point ous what i missed? I know that some go as far to say that fish are able to think on a level close to humans. The intelligence is there but is is used from instinct. However it is much harder to prove that fish can feel pain, or think, than it is to...

I will say right now: its an essay. These are things I've looked into. Im not just a kid trying to make excuses for myself. These are logical reasons. Some people may think that i have a tendency to blow people off in terms of tank size suggestions. They would be right. These are my thoughts...

Wet pets are fine if you learn to enjoy them. For example, i have a 7 inch Carpintis (Green Texas) and he is a decent wet pet. He isn't anymore, but was for a while. The reason i like wet pets is that they are unique. He isn't afraid to charge up to the class and try to bite me, or ram into my...

If you're talking Africans then i don't know much... But here are some options in terms of Central and South Americans. Smaller fish: Acaras, Firemouths, Convicts, Salvini, and Rainbows Larger (usually wet pets): Texas esp Carpintis, Jack Dempsey, and Blood Parrot There are more of course...

I know there are foods that are able to improve kok structure, not sure if they are healthy or not. Apparently some are full of hormones and stuff? I can look into if it further but i would be interested in opinions. As for lifespan... I was under the impression that FHs live about the same...

Got a new FH a few weeks ago. He has settled in really well, and it has a very outgoing personality. It ate from my hand immediately. It has a nice electric blue flower line, decent pink/red overall color, and a huge kok. Like, its hump is maybe 1/2" and the overall length of the fish is maybe...

I cant find it. Apparently i saw some small evidence at one point saying that it wasnt and took to it. It is classed as a cichlid. I guess i change my opinion and say that it is, because i cant find the reasoning behind why i thought it wasnt. Again, my B. Sent from my iPod touch using...

Filtration doesnt equal good water... These guys know a lot more than you and me... Its annoying i know. If you read my threads i can be a bit pissy about it sometimes but i do think they know what they're saying... And the shark should've grown past what its at now. Only explanation besides...

Although either way it should be treated as a large cichlid. Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

I will try to find it again. I read a page on it, it was months ago and i dont remember the site. Whenever you type in something in the lines of "is Heterotilapia Buttikoferi a cichlid or tilapia" you just get a bunch if common names. Im not sure if i can find it, will try. Sent from my...

Yeah. These are held in common between every Cichlid except maybe some of the smaller SAs don't have as much territorial-ness. I think almost every Central and African is decently territorial. Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

It doesn't really matter what sponge you get in a tank of that size. What matters is how much air can be pumped through It matters because as the air is pumped through, it creates a siphon effect which draws in water and pulls out particulate. So more air=faster and more efficient filtering...

A sponge would be better as long as its big enough. How strong is the air pump? because the stronger the air pump, the more air is being pushed through which means more filtration. Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

GT pair would work with a mid-sized Pleco and a group of larger Tetras or Danios. Maybe have a Syno or a small school of Pictus cats. Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

You cant judge "per gallon"". Its based on dimensions of the tank. If it has a small footprint but is tall, it cant hold as many. But if it is short and squat, it can hold more, even if its the same amount of gallons. Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

You lumped together SA and CA. Ive learned that these shouldn't be squashed together... Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

After doing some more research to validate my point, i found that: It is considered a cichlid HOWEVER there is debate by some. I was under the impression that it was referred to as a cichlid due to its attitude (very similar to larger Centrals) but it is classed as a cichlid although i would...

Its in the Tilapia family. I think it doesnt have the teeth it the back of the throat like all cichlids do. In effect its basically a cichlid but not a true one... Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

If the fish you got is indeed the Hornet Cichlid, you're in for a rough ride. You're pet store either has some dumb employees or some really intelligent ones. Basically, they either actually didn't know, or they managed to sell you a big mean fish. These fish will get to a foot long easily in...

You're a funny one... Patience is a virtue i wasn't born with. The OP has waited for these longer than i have been alive. I give anything a reasonable amount of time... I think? Idk. I didn't laugh a bit at this though. Ever considered stand-up? Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium...
