So i have electric blue acaras in a 75g community tank. This is their 2nd round of fry in less than a month. First time was unexpected so i wasnt prepared and lost all the fry. This time, i plan on moving them to a 10g that i have set up with water from the main tank and as cycled of a sponge...

Theyre awesome. You can look at them from one angle and see no color, just gray. Then change the angle just a bit and you see the colors just pop. They get big too. Not long, maybe 4", but they get plump lol

Thanks man. Appreciate it. Im just still amazed that NONE of my other fish are having issues. My congos are getting huge and their colors are awesome!

Well, 48 hours later, and 4 of my 6 EBA's are dead. The last 2 are looking ok...treating aditionally with metroplex, focus, and garlic guard to battle it from the inside...heres to hoping at least these 2 pull through...oh and still none of my other fish affected...hell i even have a female...

Yea, a couple of them look like they rolled in a bowl of salt! I have the temp at 84 as thats the highest i can get it. Theyre all eating and pretty active. Even the one that died was up until about 2 hours b4 he went. I just dont get why its just my Acaras. I have 6 juvenile bosemani's and 8...

So unfortunately one of my acaras passed tonight...interestingly enough, he was one of the lesser affected. I just cant figure out why its only my acaras that have it! Nothing seems to be working and its really starting to annoy me. Not sure what to even do at this point.

So, I have 6 EBA'S. Got 2 of them on the 2nd, and the other 4 on the 7th(Thursday) After introduction of the 4(all 6 from the same place), 2 developed a very mild showing of ich the next day. Immediately, i started to raise the temp in the tank, did a water change, and added some aquarium salt...

There doesnt seem to be any nipping of any kind of physicality, just chasing so who knows lol

Yea im really hoping its just a phase/breaking in period to a new enviornment. We'll see what happens by the end of the week. Is 55 with my other stock enough room for 4 of them? Im new to cichlids and dont wanna overstock lol

I was gonna give it a few days and see what happens. Spawning im not incredibly worried about bc while my tank conditions are stable, theyre not really ideal spawning conditions for them. Temp is 78, pg is 7.6. And honestly, if they do lay eggs, i can always just snatch them up and a couple...

So i have a 55g that im building around the EBA. Currently i have 2 male EBA's(1 about 2" and the other about 2 1/4-2.5"), 4 male and 4 female Congo Tetra(all between 1.5"-2"), 6 Bosemani Rainbow fish all around 1.5", and 2 Snowball Plecos both about 2". The idea is to have them all grow...

So i recently picked up a 55 gallon tank. When i purchased it, i picked up an albino bristlenose pleco, about only a 1/3 of an inch long, and put it in my 20 gallon as it grew and was going to transfer it when it was big enough. Well, the 20gl tank now has ich, which im treating and seems to...

Btw, ive tried furiously to raise the ph lol ive used the API proper PH 7.0, as well as the Seachem Neutral Regulator powder. NOTHING changes is. The PH out of the tap is a perfect 7.0, but for some reason, the second i put it in the tank, it drops. Best ive had it at was a 6.8. Before i...

This is my first tank, so i dont have much experiance. But like i said, the tank cycled. Ammonia peaked at about 2ppm and started to come down once the nitrite peaked. Nitrite peaked at the same 2ppm, and started to come down as soon as nitrates were registering on the tests. I had 2 or 3 days...

A couple months ago i had switched my substrate and it threw my tank all off and it started the nitro cycle pretty much all over again. After a month and a half, not a **** thing was happening. I decided to nix the filter cartridges and made my own filter media. I used the imagitarium filter...

I have the API freshwater kit and its brand new. I do shake the hell out of the nitrate bottles lol when i do water changes i actually use the API stress coat to treat the water before i put it in. And then will use a half dose of prime for the rest of the tank. Ive cut back on the feeding, i...

Evening all, newbie here. So i have a 20gal tank in my daughters room. Il attatch a pic of the current set up but il give a rundown of what i have in it. Currently i have 6 tiger barbs, 3 peppered corys, and 2 neon tetras. Originally i had gravel at the bottom and the corys seemed to have been...
