ok awesome, so how soon should it be before i add fish to the tank, if i do the shrimp? How long should i keep the shrimp in?

Hey there, i recently started a 75 gallon saltwater tank. I started it about 2 days ago, added in the substrate and the salt, and some bottled bacteria as well as some live rock. What else would help the process? I am wanting to do really FOWLR. Can i add in a anemone if i only have live rock...

Yeah I probably watch them about a hour each day. I don't see anyone get near him at all. He's a lot bigger then all of the other fish. The tank is pretty peaceful and has a lot of rock for the small ones to hang out. I just am unsure of how it was caused or what could have happened. He's doing...

cause i have a ob peacock and hes pretty big and it looks like just one scale looks like its falling off. i dont know if thats from a fight or what?

I was just curious on how they do together. i have a ob peacock a sunburst/sunshine (can never remenber the name) and i have 2 other i dunno the exact names of. Then i have like a bumblebee and a couple others like the blue acei i was just curious how they would do? they seem to be doing fine...

are fish that are blind in one eye usually swim kinda weird/sideways though?

im pretty sure he was blind but he was just on the bottom when i got him. he was in the tank alone

they are usually really passive, and today its cooled down alot. is the reason he is swimming kinda sideways because he is blind or bullied/stressed?

I just got a bigger Peacock cichlid, i dont remenber the exact name. It is probably about 5 inches and i think it is blind in one eye. I have a couple smaller cichlid in there about half of his size. They seem to be picking on him but not that bad just kind of fraying his fins a little. Will...

My pleco is still ok though? I mean he wont die due to this problem? Im sure he will grow and whoop up on them soon but i dont want it to be a issue now.

the tempature is always about 76-80 degrees and i dont have any high levels, just got water checked and it was fine. he is in a african cichlid tank but none of them seem to bother him.

anyone got any info?

mm how many angels you think i would be able to keep? i was hoping 2

Im looking to start another one up. I want to have a angelfish in there but im curious what you guys think would be good with it? I really like sharks and catfish but im still a bit newer with compatibility. What do you guys think?

i have a common pleco about 3 inches in a cichlid tank, which is 75g. His fins top and back fin seem a bit frayed like they have been nipped at and i watch my fish quite a bit. Are his fins frayed because hes been getting nipped or because another reason? There isnt any aggression problems in...

Thank you for a response. What about if I stuck with south Americans, like the red devil and tiger oscar? How many would fit in a 75g? I have 2 emperor 400 filters. And my pleco is in there. Is that a problem? What else are compatible with those?

So would the jd be ok with the Africans? I have 7 of them. And the pleco be ok until he got too big? How long does the pleco generally take to get about a ft from 3 inches? I want a bigger tank soon but I don't wanna get rid of my pleco

I have a 75g tank with about 7 peacock cichlids in it right now around 2-3 inches with a common place in it about 2 inches. How many could I fit in a 75g or what's a good amount of cichlids? I am Interested in jack dempseys are they fine and compatible and small enough or too big? Also a red...

By how many I meant cichlids not just jack dempseys, and I believe it would be a male dempsey

I have quite a bit of rock and African cichlids all like peacocks. Max size is like 5-6 inches I believe. I have like 7 at the moment and wanting to get 2 jack dempseys. Are they even compatible? How big do they get? If that's fine how many could I fit in there with a common pleco? I know the...

so since i have about a 30 gallon tank and the filter already about how much would it really cost to probably get it up and going? and how long does it take to cycle before i should add anything?

well thats good to know, do i need a different filter or everyone says i need a sump? and what all steps do i need to take if i can keep the same filter? Also, im assuming that i would need to have sand instead of gravel?

Hi, i currently have a 30 gallon tanked that i had freshwater in. I have recently changed tanks to a 75 gallon for my freshwater fish. I am wanting to try to start salt water but ive read over the getting started sticky but im wanting a little bit more direct advice. I am wanting to do ONLY...

Hi, I'm new to a cichlids tank, I have about 6-7 smaller cichlids that get to be about 5 inches big. They are Africans, would any of the south Americans that stay relatively small work with them since I have a bunch of them?

If I just ran two aqueon 90 gallon filters would that be fine for the tank?
