Hi, I'm having trouble telling if my discus is male or female. Can anyone help?

I have two pseudotropheus johanni from the same breeding group holding, and moved them to the same tank to relax a bit and have their babies. But, one day, one of them has a very full mouth and the other not so much. The next day, the second one's mouth looks full and the first one is only...

Does anyone know a way to tell which fry will be male? They are just under and inch long, and all of them look kind of female, with greenish yellow fins and some stripes on a gray body:

Here's an example. Very orange and some stripes are visible. The female adults are yellow but sometimes show brownish stripes.

My johanni had some fry, and they are all orange/yellow. Some of them have a deeper color and some are orange and showing brownish stripes. Are these darker ones going to turn blue eventually? Or would male fry be blue right from the beginning?

I expected them to be dark pink: males, and pale pink: females. But instead there is deeper orange and paler pink. Any idea which ones are the males?

I have 5 small dragonbloods, and 3 of them are a deeper orange and two are a paler pink. Would that be male and female difference or different color variations within the same species?

I bought 8 that were supposed to be female then they all started turning blue when I got home. This has happened to me before. So I vented them and most if not all of them are female, including the big one with dark stripes. There is no male in their tank yet so perhaps a female fills in as...

I'm finding saulosi to be really tricky to determine the sex. I vented these ones so now I know for sure. But I'd like to hear your guesses:

Can anyone please help? Are these male or female?

Hi, I got a Ziss Brine shrimp hatchery, and after using it the first time, there was what looked like unhatched eggs at the bottom. So when I drained the water, I got these eggs along with the live baby brine shrimp. In the videos, other people don't seem to have this problem. Any idea what...

Hi, I have soft water and have a planted mbuna tank. I currently add these two products: API pH 8.2 for pH and KH Seachem Equilibrium for GH Is there a single product I could use instead of two different products? Or some other combination of additives that would be better for some reason...

I'm converting my planted community tank into an mbuna african cichlid tank. I read about how mbuna and plants don't get along, but I'm not one to heed advice so I just went ahead and added some aragonite sand and some pH 8.2 chemicals and put in the mbuna and removed the other fish to another...

No.... I requested 2m4f but didn't require it since inqasnt sure if they were old enough to be sexable. Since he had a new batch of 50 in stock I assumed if sexable, he would have enough females. Apparently someone more important got thr females. Anyway, now they have ick. They don't seem...

I just got them yesterday. Requested 2m 4f. Its a 29g and wanted to have a species tank and these seemed like the most suitable mbuna species. But 6 males.... omg they were expensive too and I will probably have to give them away. No more online fish buying for me

Also, their mouths are always opening and closing which looks like they might be in some distress? Or is that normal? Water parameters 78F Ph 7.8 to 8.0 Kh 100 Gh 130 Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 20ppm

Hi, I wanted to start an mbuna aquarium, and decided on Saulosi because: two nice colors in one species Less aggressive Small size more suitable for my tank size I had to order online since they weren't available locally, and requested a mix of males and females buy im concerned they are all...

What kind of barbs? Tiger barbs?

I have a 29high with apistos and golden killifish and some tetras. That is working out really well. The killifish mostly stay at the top and the apistos as the bottom and they seem to get along.

Also in order to make them happier I added tons of leaves and driftwood and used peat to add tannins, and now I can't see them very well. Maybe they are happier but not as much fun for me with all their hiding places :D

They are a lot of fun to watch. They can be aggressive though, I had to move my cories to another tank because the male was harassing them.

Please can you identify what species of apistogramma and male or female?

What kind of illness do they cause to fish? One of my fish died recently in that tank.

I have a snail infestation in my 20g tank that came in on some plants. I don't mind since they will keep the tank clean, but today when I turned on the light there were probably 40 little snails on the glass, ranging in size from 1mm to 6mm, most of them smaller. Is this something I need to...

This hasn't gone well at all... While trying to catch the mother of the eggs, I noticed that the other female (false) viejita has an injury. The strange thing is that the one with the eggs is a recent addition, the other one that is now injured and in the hospital tank was getting along very...
