Three of my young mbuna had visable ich on them. Before it spread to the rest of the tank I turned the heat up and added salt. I'm now 6 days into treatment (I was told to keep the heat up for 10 days) and the ich APPEARS to be gone. However, now the fish who had it are "splotchy" looking. All...

I'm setting up a tank for my frontosas who are currently in mbuna tank. I want to use the same sand that is in the mbuna tank (I forgot the name but it is a black and white cichlid sand that buffers the water). However, at $28/bag I definately need to mix it with something. I was thinking...

I got a great deal on a 72 gal bow front tank. I plan to use it for fresh water fish, but the previous owner used it as a salt water tank. It came with lots of stuff I can't identify (and don't think I can use). According to the add I have: 2 standard power heads 1 rotational power head...

Now that I finially have my mbuna tank just the way I want it I've decided to move it. I bought a bigger tank (72 gal) and want to put it where my 55 gal tank now stands. The 55 gal needs to be moved to the next room. I will be buying a new stand for it. First, I obviously want to cause as...

I have an aqua tech 30-60 "hang on back" type filter for my 55 gal tank. This was the origional filter I started with. (A few weeks ago I was having trouble with it so I added a second filter, but now this one is working fine again so I want to keep both). The new filter looks very nice and...

As I just mentioned in another thread, I have a tank of mbuna mixed with two frontosa. I know that this is a bad set up, but I let the pet store guy convince me that it is ok... I'm regretting it because although everyone is getting along great so far, I am causing myself stress. My only...

I posted pics of two mbuna that I have in my tank (on another forum) asking for ID. The blue/black fish was thought to be a Johnnie and the black/white was thought to be an Auratus... both very aggressive from what I have been told. After further research, I think that they are actually a...

I've been cycling 2 tanks. One I started on Feb 4, the second on Feb 10. It took about 10 days before I saw any nitrite and now my nitrite level has been 5+ for atleast 3 weeks, if not more. (Sure wish I had kept a log book). One tank now has tons of nitrate.. the other tank has some, but not...

I have a 55 gal, 4 foot long tank that I'm praying is nearly done cycling. Planning to stock with "least agressive mbuna". Is it possible to have a few parrots? When I decided on Mbuna I had never seen a parrot, but would love to add a few (only if possible and safe for them).

I just wrote all about my tanks in my profile...guess I should have done it here. I found this site by accident... read through some of the posts and laughted until I had to join! Some great posts....
