I recently bought some F1 Gold Head Muzi comps from aquabid and when they came in they were much smaller than I expected (1 inch at the most). they are currently in my 75gal but they are small enough for my frontosa to eat them. to prevent this ive thrown together a 45 corner tank with a heater...

When i got him i was thinking fuelleborni but his mouth is different. He is hyper active and has destroyed a couple of my anubias. Any guesses?

Im moving my mbuna tank to my new house next week and going to be rescaping. Im wanting to add more deco. What should i add? Im planning on adding another 20lb bag of sand for sure. 15 assorted cichlid stones pack? 10 large cichlid stone pack? More anubias? Some sort of drift wood? More rock...

I am adding alot of anubias to my mbuna tank and wanting to know what i need to add to make then flourish. I change at least 50% weekly and add epsom salt when i do my changes.

I found a new 75 setup for $125, just add water and fish! Which I think is a good deal but I have to drive 4hrs round trip to get it. If you think it is a good deal let me know so I can better justify it to my lady. Im leaving to pick it up in an hr. What should I put in it? Im thinking...

There is a holding female crabro at my lfs. She is being harassed to death by the other (young male im assuming). Thinking about buying it and putting it in my qt till she spits, then putting her in the dt. Anyone see anything wrong with me just adding 1 female? Do they have aggression...

All black with light blue/ white edges. White tale Acei?

Im considering getting an aquatop 300w. It is super cheap so I figured there may be some issues with it. Anyone know anything about them?

Thus far all I have gotten my mbuna to leave alone is anubius nana. They nibble on the java fern from time to time but nothing to bad. However, when I come home from work they have uprooted all my vals. Im pretty sure it is my Aceis doing it. Idk if they are eating them but the mbuna and...

Im buying a canister filter and I have the option to get the uv sterilizer model for $10 more. Worth the money? What does it really do for me? Its going on a fw mbuna tank.

I just saw one of my petricola and his stomach is huge. I tried to get pics but he wont sit still long enough. I have 3 or 4 that kinda look like this but not as bad as this one. This one is also the largest of the group. I only feed them maybe every 3 days. Nls wafers. I also just noticed he is...

What is the best bang for your buck on a canister filter for an overstocked 75gal mbuna tank? I have 2 emperor 400's on it right now. Im raising fry so I want to use the 400's on my 29gal and 40b. Instead of buying new filters for them, I figured I would upgrade my show tank. I want an fx5 but...

My friend told me about this deal that her friend has. I need this thread to show my lady it would be worth the money. She thinks its a 300gal and it comes with a stand, tank, pump, ect. The asking price higher but I think I can get it for around $300. What do you all think? Good deal? What...

I got my breeder net in the mail last night. Put it together and put my female in it. When I woke up this morning there are at least a dozen fry. I havent counted how many exactly yet. Talk about good timing. My breeder net came in with the netting comming apart a bit at the seams, enough that...

So melanochromis maingano is now known as psuedotropheus maingano? So I would have trouble with hybridization between them and my Acei? Also metriclima greyshakie was formerly known as psuedotropheus greyshakie. So they will battle my Acei males and also breed with them? Excuse my ignorance im...

I am in the process of switching over to carib sea cichlid sand. I want to use my old substrate to help seed the new. I have heard to use panty hose so I bought 100% nylon leggings (and got made fun of while in the store). Will they work and not leach stuff into the water?

My mother in law for me 2 bags of cichlid sand for xmas. A few questions... 1. Can I add the sand along with the water in the bag or should I rinse it? 2. Because it buffers the water should I add it over a weeks time? 3. How many more bags do I need for my standard 4ft 75gal? I was thinking...

I've had it for about a week now. It is supposed to be an anubias. I don't think it liked the bleach dip too much. I also think my mbuna have been munching on it. What you think? Is it gonna die? I put them in to try to fix a nitrate problem, not create more of one.

I am considering buying 5 or 6 of them to keep with my mbuna. there isnt much info out there on them but from what i can gather they have the same diet and behavior as mbuns. Thier native water is a bit different but they can adjust to mine. What do you guys think? Anyone had any experience with...

I just got 3 new plants. 2 java ferns and an anubias. Should I dip them in a solution or somethimg before I add them?

In the last couple days a couple of my fish have gotten black spots on them. The spots are slightly raised. It appears to be a parasite but I just got done treating the tank with jingle parasite clear. Anyone know what this is and what I should treat with? I will post pics when I get home. They...

I am taking a road trip to Lafayette at the end of december. Southern Illinois doesn't have any good lfs, so when I go places I always look for good fish stores. Mainly looking for a store that has a good selection of mbuna Cichlids and Texas holy rock. Anyone from around there that have any...

Will juvie afra cobue females show deep barring? I have 1 confirmed female and 3 confirmed males. Im afraid the 2 smallest may be males as well! Sometimes they look like females but that could ne bc they are sub dominant.

Thursday I noticed that one of my cobue was acting bloated but wouldn't come out of hiding. I had to leave town Friday so they have not been fed since Thursday. The light has been out but my windows were open so they got some light. I came home tonight and she is still hiding out alot. One...
