I picked up this Geo the other day and have added her (I presume it's female) to my mixed Geo tank. I'd like to get a few more if I can identify and find them. Anyone want to guess what she might be? Thanks, ozmo

Hi all, I have an opportunity to swap some fish and amongst this deal is apparently a Hoplarchus Psittacus (Parrot Cichlid). What do you think? Is this a Parrot Cichlid? Aprox 13-15 cm now...

Hi all - I have just invested in my first egg-tumbler and was just wondering... For those of you who use them, how do you go about collecting the eggs? Thanks, ozmo

How long can Primed rainwater or Primed tap water be kept and still be safe for the fish and plants? I have a 44gal plastic drum which I want to store water in ready for when I do my WCs. The drum is stored inside so it is not exposed to temperature or any other elements. Any info would...

What am I?

Hi guys, I have a 5" GT and would like to get a mate for it as he or she is lonely in it's new 90gal home. So my question is, is it male or female? You be the judge. Cheers, ozmo

I have recently added several Val and a few other species of plants to one of my tanks and within a couple of weeks have noticed rotting and breaking on some plants, particularly with the Val and occasionally even with some of the smaller Anubius. I only use Flourish full dose once a week and...

I have been fish-less cycling a new 90g sandy substrate, lightly planted with a size-able pre-cycled chunk of driftwood for about 2 months and I can't seem to budge the PH down at all. It is sticking at close to 8. This was the start... I moved from that to this in little over a week...

Anyone used these... OSI Flower Horn Pellets? Thoughts on OSI food in general? Do they compare to the like of NLS? Cheers, ozmo

So I had/have a bout of Ick on my two Blue Rams. I applied a course of Protozin as instructed and after the 6th and final day (fourth dose) the disease has diminished but is still slightly present in one of the two BRs (the male). Should I dose again? Or what? Do the salt/temperature treatment...

I Know I'm probably going to get shot for asking this but how do you think a bunch of adult Bolivian Rams would go in a 310lt moderately planted and heavily wooded tank with other tank mates the likes of which are a fairly peaceful 10cm Flowerhorn, a very docile 15cm Geophagus Surenimensis and...

I am in the middle of setting up my new Fluval FX5 and I have run into a slight snag with the hose positioning. If you take a look at the photos below you can see I have a slight loop occurring on the intake. In the manual for the FX5 it states there should be no loops at all. Do you think...

Apologies for the blurriness of the photos but do you have any idea what this one might be? I've had this fish for 3-4months and he is just over 5 inches (13cm) long and quite chunky. He is a bit of a pig so he has grown pretty quick (IMO). He does tend to go all over the tank (300lt 2ft tall)...

Firstly: The title should red "Best auto feeder?". Stink'n iPhone :) Anyhow, in your opinion or through your experience, is the best automatic feeder or feeders for a tank of South American Cichlids? I am going away for nearly 2 weeks and I don't trust anyone to feed them properly. I...

Any chance there is an American Cichlid or Cichlids that would do ok in a Fluval Edge? I see people putting GBR an Bolivians in these tanks but isn't that a little tight? Thanks in advance, ozmo

Would I be crazy to add a crayfish to an established, mostly American, Cichlid tank? The tank is 80gal and it's current residents are... X2 Jack Dempseys X1 Flowerhorn X1 Convict X2 Clown Loaches X1 Sailfin Pleco They all are aprox half grown. Thanks in advance.
