Hey all, I have a 90G cichlid tank that has been very healthy but i'm experiencing some weird behavior in the last 12 hours. Almost everyone in the tank is swimming at the top "nose up". Whenever I walk by, they swim back to their respective hiding places but within a few minutes, they're all...

Hey all, This weekend I discovered 3 fry in my cichlid tank. Once I realized that they were there, I moved them over to a small (2.5 G) tank right away. I suspect that they are Melanochromis (based upon what I suspect is the mom staying hidden with them). I'm looking for a couple of...

Hello, well after the massacre (Ich) I experienced in the last few days I'm now thinking about restocking my 30G freshwater tank. I'll be waiting a few weeks (continuing with higher temps, salt, etc...) to ensure that the Ich is all gone and will be getting a QT tank, but I want to start...

Hello! With some suggestions on good sites to help with identification, I think I have some of my Cichlids identified. I would appreciate any help with confirming (or debunking) my attempts! I've posted a few pics and my "guesses" below each. Thanks!!! 6 bar frontosa - Neolamprologus...

I'm sure that this is a common theme, but man-oh-man I really wish I'd researched a lot more rather than just relying on the 'expertise' of the guy at pet smart. But now I'm smarter (sort-of) and wiser (ummmmmm) and maybe even better looking (wishful thinking)?:) Anyways, just wanted to say hi...
