Hi guys, I've had the yellow lab in question since Jan 11 (in a community of 22 other labs and various cichlids) and he hasn't grown at all, is steady at about 1.5 inches. He seems slightly deformed around it's stomach. He eats plenty and seems happy enough, could he just be the "runt" of the...

Okay team, my tank is five months old, well and truly cycled. It's a 100 gal 5 foot tank with a wet dry trickle (aqua grand 150 aquarium) I have 20 Malawi and 1 feather fin cat in there, all quite young (2-3 inches max, feather fin is about 6-7 inches) I have no readings on anything, no ammo...

I am just wondering how important it is for my cichlids to have circulation in my tank. I have a 3000 l/h power head circulating my water but it stopped working. I managed to get it going again however if it did die on me how crucial is it?? :confused:

How do I stop the other fish steeling my featherfin catfish's sinking wafers? they don't exactly sink very fast and even when I distract the others with a yummy pinch of NLS they still go after them lol. Any tips???:puppydogeyes:

I am starting to get an increase in brown surface algie, should I be concerned? I don't have my lights on that much, only about six hours a day and only when we are home. Mostly on rockwork and some fake plants. Tank is three months young. Cheers!

One of our peacocks is hiding in a safe cave with a swollen mouth, please tell me it's just a mouthful of eggs lol apart from the swollen mouth she is looking as healthy as ever. If it is what i think it is how long before they usually spit fry?? Sorry for the questions it's our first child for...

Hi team, one of my new pulican cichlids has popeye. Is there a sure fire remedy for this fir cichlids or is it the usual Epsom salt fix as for any type of fish???? Would pimafix help this condition? It's only the one fish affected in a 100 gal tank, with 19 other tank mates.

Hi all, I got some new fish today including a beautiful six inch long featherfin cat. We Also got 4 pulpican, anyone heard of them??? I have found several names for them including: pseudotrpheus pulpican, cynotilapia pulpican, cynotilapia axelrodi, and lastly kingsizei lokoma blue frost...

Hi all, okay been cycling my 100gal Malawi tank for about 5 weeks now, got some substrate and a little filter mat from a mate to help get things going. Readings, API test kits: Ammo: less than 0.1 ppm Nitrite: Nitrites between 2-5 ppm (hard to distinguish the colours as they are so close)...

Hi all, I have a 5ft 100gal aquagrande (aqua one brand) Lake Malawi tank that has a wet/dry trickle system built into the lid. I am curious how long is a safe time to shut off the filter to conduct maintenance? Is it just a matter of keeping the filter media wet whilst I get the job done? Or is...

Hi all just wondering what your thoughts are on my Malawi community so far. 6x electric yellows 4x peacocks ( Jacobs) 4x venustus. Plan on a featherfin cat and some pseudotrpheus acei in the near future. Please tell me that this mix will be okay.... Or not. I know the venustus will grow large...

Hi all, my wife and I have recently got back into aquariums after a couple of years off. Bought an aquaone brand aquagrande 150, which is a 100gal 5ft tank. It's a Lake Malawi tank and is currently lightly stocked with some very small Electric yellow's, Peacocks and Venustus. Can't wait till I...
