Jag is about 2-3+ years old, oscar is roughly a year. Any ideas? I'm really curious. oscar: https://gfycat.com/DefinitiveZestyLangur managuensis: https://gfycat.com/UltimateDimpledAquaticleech

https://gfycat.com/HeftyComposedAfricanparadiseflycatcher I know for sure the 3 larger are males, as I've had them for a while now, but the smallest is the one in question. I got it about 5 months ago at maybe 2 3/4 inches. It's just under 4" now. I bought it thinking it was a male, but as...

https://gfycat.com/UnhealthyMilkyCooter After losing my flowerhorn about a month ago, I decided it was time to finally move on. I've learned from my mistakes (lights will go on everyday, no more skipping 1-2 days a week feeding, lid has virtually no way to jump out, not teaching it to jump...

I started looking at an additional method of water movement for my 55g. I have an AC110, which is great, but it's on the left side of the tank and I'd like to get a bit more water flow on the right side. It was also 85 bucks, so while I'd love to just get another 110, I'd rather go for a...

I have a T5NO Aqueon strip for my 4 foot tank. It is a 3 foot strip, so depending on where I place it, it covers only 3/4 of the tank. The other day I moved it to the extreme left side of my tank, and have noticed all of my fish (silver dollars, JD, convict, firemouth) have moved to the...

I'm trying to decide my stocking for my 40g. It's a 3 foot tank and I've had it for years, but I plan on upgrading to a 4 footer when/if the need arises. I've never had a reason to yet as my initial cichlid (a firemouth) taught me that firemouths are incredibly slow growers. Right now, it has 5...

Any ideas on what it is? I'm leaning towards a kamfa flowerhorn, and a female, but I'd like to see some of your opinions. Short Youtube Videos

Purchased this little gal/guy on 6/6 @ 1". Really picky with food, and only ate frozen blood worms/freeze dried krill for the first month. Grew 2" quite fast. I then had to fast for 11 days to get it on pellets, and has been on them for the last 2-3 weeks. Only grew up to 2.5", which I'm...

I'm aware of Krylon Fusion being safe, but what about Krylon Indoor/Outdoor? I'd think they're the same, but is one safe and the other isn't? Or are they both fine? I want to paint the filter intake tube of my Aquaclear, and have half a can left of the Indoor/Outdoor from when I painted the...

I have excel, comprehensive, potassium, and iron. I noticed I put these in storage after my Festivum destroyed all my plants, and have moved on from planted tanks. Can I use them on a garden outside?

I'm dealing with a stubborn flowerhorn right now, so I've been thinking of feeding frozen until he gains some size where starving him to get on pellets wont hinder his growth. I wanted to thaw out a cube in a cup of water (as I always do with any frozen food) and feed him from it throughout...

What is the best algae eater for a cichlid tank? Are bristlenose plecos the only option?

I had a male BN for 5 months that kept my tank spotless. Had to remove him because he started getting territorial. Put in a female, which died from ich after I added a fish that was part of a bad shipment from LFS. I was pretty pissed, because she had great spots, and cleaned the tank in 48...

The first BNP I got months ago was a male, and eventually had to be removed because he turned aggressive. When I got him, the algae was gone pretty much overnight. After removing him, I noticed a return in diatoms. After trying to reduce the lighting, reduce the liquid fertilizer added, and the...

LFS told me male, although after reading online I'm not sure. I read some things about a faint "H" leading to females, and that pointed fins/brighter colored wasn't always a good tell either because some females can develop those. The nuchual hump was another tell, but because my GT is still...

...and he's got a white bump on his head now. I was asleep, heard a splash and a light thud, and when I came into the room the water was waving side to side and noticed the small white spot right away. He's about 6", and I read that terrors like to jump so I limited any open area as much as...

Last sunday I raised the temp on my tank to 88 degrees. I've been doing water changes every 1-2 days since then. It's only really effected my newest pickups, a BNP and blue acara which I purchased late july/early august. I can't use salt or meds because my tank is planted. I read a lot of...

I have the 2 of them in a growout tank for now, and plan on buying a bigger tank sometime next week when my new heater comes in. My jack is about 3.5-4", and the festivum is about 3-3.5". I can't keep any live plants because the festivum tears them up (I actually only moved it here because it...

I'm aware of the generally accepted best pellet/frozen food brands, but I've never found anything on freeze-dried. I'm also aware pellet/frozen is much more nutritional, as I've been feeding my fish that for the last 8 months. My new jack however, is still learning his surroundings and I'd...

I have had my 29g tank setup for about 8 months now. A week or so ago I added a small 2" BNP, which I believe is what introduced it to my tank. That or some skirt tetras I added a week or so before that from petsmart (first time I bought from petsmart). Anyhow, a few of the 10 tetras have...

After 2 months of removing my old pleco, I noticed some bad algae. After some attempted fixes, I got another bristlenose pleco. This one is a female, and 2". After 24 hours, the algae was pretty much 99% devoured. The only downsides now, are that she is constantly digging on the right side...

I've had a juvenile ~4" jack for about a week now in a 20g long growout. He was initially extremely shy, and didn't eat. The other day, I moved a festivum from my other tank to the jack's tank because it was destroying my plants. The jack finally came out and was moving around, and other...

It looks too big to be a brichardi, but I'm guessing it's some sort of African?

I have a 10 oz jar of NLS that I've barely used 10% of in the last near 8 months. I read something about dry food losing its nutrient and taste value after 6 months. Is that true? Should I get a new jar and toss that out or can I safely keep feeding my fish from that jar?

I got a juvenile jack dempsey last saturday. He has been extremely shy (I'd only seen him once in the open, other than that he's hiding behind the java ferns) and has yet to eat. I put 3 skirt tetras with him on sunday to act as dither fish, but they didn't work. One of the skirts was a...
