Thanks guys, i was pretty sure he was a zebra but I thought I would get confirmation here. Thanks again!

Hey all! Can someone shed some light on what type of fish this may be? Labelled as an OB peacock but does not look the same as the other OB peacocks I have seen. Any help would be great :)

Yes I cycled the tank, I am not a total newb, I have had freshwater tanks for years. I will try pointing the head to the left and see if that helps. Thank you for the advice :)

Hello, I am new to the world of saltwater and just finished setting up a 45 gallon corner tank. I was advised that in addition to the fluval 405 I am running on the tank I would need to add two circulation pumps. At the saltwater store I left with two circulation pumps rated at 850 gph...

My dragonblood peacock male And My White lip Mdoka male

Hi Everyone, Well I was bitten by the cichlid bug awhile back after I was given a breeding group of dragonblood peacocks. I have been successful at breeding and rearing the fry and have had many many broods of them. I have included a picture of my male. So here I am, setting up a 72 gallon...

Thank you very much for all of your help! I will venture to a hydroponic store this weekend!

Thank you to everyone who has provided an answer to my questions :) I have changed the timer on my lights and CO2 to only be on for 6 hours a day. I have started spot dosing with excel, hopefully it clears up soon! I havent tried dry ferts, I live in ontario canada and do not know where I...

Hello Again, Thank you for the advice thus far. Here are my tank specs. 65 gallon tank measuring 48" x 15.5" x 20" Lighting: zoomed aquasun quad t5ho 4x54w bulbs (two flora sun and two ultra sun) my lights stay on for almost 12 hours a day. I am injecting CO2 using an inline reactor...

I was wondering if anyone can give me a plant ID on the plants in the first two pictures. Also, in the last picture there is a type of black algae forming on my anubias, any suggestions on what is causing this? I can provide update aquarium stats when I have time :) I

It takes between 9 months to over a year before these plecos become sexually mature. Please keep us informed if you see signs of whiskers!

I have quite a few of them. They are very big eaters and go through a pound of hornwort a week! I have read that they do not harm their babies but I have had most of my success providing very small hiding spots for the young crays. I silicone a bunch of drinking straws together and use a rock...

At what point do you remove the fry? If remove fairly soon after say 3 weeks old will the parents readily spawn again?

Congrats on the spawn!! I need to ask you what your water parameters are, more specifically temperature and ph. Did you do anything in particular to trigger the spawn? What types of foods were you feeding them before they spawned for you? They are gorgeous fish btw! You should be proud!

One more thing to consider is seasonal changes in light intensity. During the summer months the light intensity from the sun is very very strong and plant growth will be incredible. However as the seasons change so does the intensity of the light from the sun (very noticable here in Canada!)...

As HN1 has already stated, frequent water changes are vital to fry tanks. Growth inhibiting hormones build up very quickly in fry tanks. You will see better growth in your fry if you perform more frequent water changes. Do not focus solely on nitrates or nitrites as there are many many other...

This is the tank the new lights will be going on. Mostly sword plants.

Are you happy with the colour that is produced? Does it give a natural look to the tank?

Am in the process of getting a 4 bulb t5HO light fixture. This will be placed over a planted tank. With all things aside, i am given the options of three types of bulbs 6500k 10,000k and acintic. What would be my best choice in terms of these bulbs? All 4 6500k? 2 6500k and 2 10,000k? I...

Hello, I am just wondering if anyone knows where I would be able to purchase either crs or cbs in Canada. I live in Ontario but none of my lfs carry these shrimp. I would prefer to go through another hobbyist rather than a pet store. If someone can point me in the direction of a breeder or...

I have raised many many cories and what works for me everytime is this: I use a small cereal bowl and place water from the aquarium in it. I use a few drops of fungicide ( have used various kinds all with sucess...currently using api). Next i place the bowl on the floor of my fishroom or on a...

Just wondering if any eggs have hatched yet?

Just thought id post a pic of one of my males eating his zucchini :)

Thank you so much for the information! Next question: what types of foods would you suggest feeding to them? I know they are herbivores (despite their teeth!) and would be interested in hearing about some high quality foods for them :)

Hello, I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what if anything would be compatable and suitable tankmates for: Labidochromis sp. "Hongi" Thank you!
