If your unsure, can't find a catagory, or there is more than one species in the pic...put it here.

I have water test kits. Yes, the fish that died turned a darker colour after the bug eye. I wasn't sure if he suffered the bug eye from either the water quality or by bashing it. I didn't think it was the water at the time as none of theother fish were affected and he was beeing bullied by...

Suddenly my severums have come down with something. They were fine a few days ago, but now they are lethargic and sitting under the filter. They come out when the tank lid is opened or when I feed them. They are breathing hard too, but I have plenty of air in the tank, I am running a Rena 200...

Catfish are usually fine with cichlids too, I recommend a Synodontis Multipunctatus, great personalities.

So, I guess all my cichlids are central and south american. I have yet to buy any africans, although frontosas are very tempting!

I have one tank that has Green Severums and T-Bar Cichlids. The T-bars have just laid eggs and are living in a pot and guarding it well. The three inch male has fought off the 6 1/2 inch green severums, who are placid anyway. I also keep a firemouth, albino convicts, convicts, and gold...

Males have longer flag like tails. Females get considerably fatter when they are pregnant.

I really want a zebra plec, but they are really expensive here. They cost around £45-55 for 2 inches or less. I have heard different stories on how large they grow. Someone told me that they don't grow larger than 1 1/2 to 2 inches, but I read that they could grow to around 3. I also have a...

I don't keep them all in the same tank. They are in 5 different tanks, although one tank has the two bristle noses, the royal panaque, the gold nugget plec and the leopardus. They all get on fine, but they do compete for prime spots some times. For instance, the gold nugget plec used to spend...

I live in England, so we probably pay more for everything! I have an adult gold nugget plec that I bought for £12, but they usually sell here for £35-45 for the same size! The L-008 I got for £14 which was supposed to be £20, so I was quite pleased, I bought it with a striped royal panaque...

Lucky man, I am. Great site! I agree I think it's a L-008 Leopard Peckoltia.

I have a leopardus plec too, he's probably one of my favorites, his pic is below!

The plec has orange/yellow spots on his head and body and yellow bands on it's tail.

How do I upload a pic! ??

Hi, Just wandering if someone can identify my new plec, he was the last plec in a tank full of Royal Plecs, so I bought him as well.

Do you always use Eheim filter media (ie substrat pro, ehfimech)?

I live in the United Kingdom so I can only dream of cheap prices like that! I have decided on the 2028, but now an deciding which site to buy from based on the price of the filter media! I might buy the filter from one site and the media from another.

I think you may be right on the 2028, I am in the process of ordering now, so do you reckon there is any advantage in getting a wet/dry?

That's what my question about! The pro/breathing is the wet/dry, and I am unsure of the advantages. I think I may go for the Professional 2 2026 as I my tank is mainly stocked with large cichlids and plecs, and I think the wet/dry may get a bit clogged with lots of solid waste. My tank is 60...

Hi, I am in the process of upgrading my external filter to either an Eheim Professional 2 or an Eheim Professional Breathing. I have read about both models, but I don't know which is better. Does anyone have any opinions? Also, is it worth going for the thermo versions of either? And, can...
