Would more hidey holes help the situation, he's a little rat bag but he's still a part of my fishy family

Do you think rehoming cranky fish would help? Up until now there hasn't been any indication of stress or illness from my frontosa

My nitrates are a bit high so I'll be doing a water change today, hopefully that's all it is. Frontosa is the biggest in the tank but he shares with some yellows, an acei, peacock, bristlenose, clown loaches, a slightly smaller frontosa and a cranky blue stripey cichlid (cannot recall his name)...

Water flow is a bit more powerful than he's used to I suppose I've recently invested in a fluval fx5

I have another frontosa and a few other cichlid tank mates he's about 8cm and starting to get a little hump on his head =) very cute. Everyone else seems fine, will have to get back to you with water parameters though.

I have a frontosa who is spending most of his time hiding in the opening of a large piece of driftwood. He's gone quite dark in colour too. Every now and then he'll come out for a little swim and go back to his lighter colour but this is rare. He still eats but I'm just concerned because the...

Thanks mate =)

Turns out there were two little snails caught in the impeller!! How do I get these buggers out of my filter before this happens again?

It has done it again tonight.. Any ideas?

I Left a good 15 minutes or so in between checking... It's working now without issue though. Odd.

I noticed about half an hour ago that my fx5 wasnt making any noise and nothing was coming out of the output hose... I just figured it was doing its 2minute air purge thing so i went and sat down for dinner. When i checked back the filter was still not working so i unplugged it at the point and...

I'm not quite sure how many loaches you should keep together but my four seem happy as they are in their little group, google it? =)

If you're still thinking of adding clown loaches I'd say go for it, I currently have 4 in with my cichlids and they are some of the best fish I've kept. They cruise around doing their own thing and love pushing my bristlenoses out of the way for food. They do little dances with each other in the...

Just want to add that their behavior has been normal I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary

I've just moved my cichlids from a 4ft tank to a 6ft it's been 4 days and my fish don't seem to be eating. The food hasn't changed they are on floating pellets, the depth of the water has changed but surely they aren't so lazy that they won't surface for food? I've even squished the pel

Would the quality of filtration be enough? The aqua clear has a a whopping big sponge in it but no bio media like the canister.. I thought the bio media was somewhat necessary?

234.99 is a bargain! Will definitely have a look. Cheers

Thanks for the speedy reply Carey!

I've just bought a 6x2x1.5 fish tank. The bloke who owned it was running an UGF and an aquaclear 500 HOB (500 i assume means 500GPH which converts to roughly 1892 litres) I want to get rid of the UGF because i've heard nothing but bad things and i want to go with PFS for substrate. Ive currently...
