Okay so any filter I've ever had has come with the filter of course which has the carbon in the pad...and a black square thing. I don't know what that's called. It's just this rough black square that has always come with every one of my fish filters. Well I got a new filter kit and it came with...

Okay so I got a cichlid 3 days ago and he was dark blue with yellow fins. Now he's a light blue almost silver color. What would cause his color to change like that so fast? I feed my cichlids hikari or what ever it is. I only have 3 in my 55 gallon tank and just checked my water yesterday. No...

Okay I feel a little silly asking this considering I've had fish for years now...but I just noticed on tetras aquasafe it says it makes tap water safe for fish.

I saw this picture online and I was ordering what kind of cichlids are these? Like the big blue one and the little yellow and orange ones. And I see a red parrot cichlid in this mix as well. I thought you weren't suppose to mix Africans with other cichlids?

Okay so I'm going to be starting an african cichlid tank here soon. It's cycling now. Just wondering if you guys use flake or pellets for Africans? I'm wanting to get some synodontis Catfish for bottom feeders so will that matter also what I feed the cichlids.

Okay so I had a 55 gallon fish tank before but I did fish cycling(I didn't know any better at the time, and was so silly to listen to the guy at the store say it would be fine as he sold me 25 fish!) Okay so this time I'm doing a fish-less cycle, of course. I bought a brand new tank, everything...

So in the next couple of weeks I'm going to be getting a 55 gallon fish tank. I'm wanting to stock it with african cichlids. Anyone have any specific breeds that would look good and go well together? And types of plants/decorations they prefer if any. I'm going to be doing my own research as...

Okay so I'm going to be getting a 55 gallon fish tank in a couple of days. I had one before but had to sell it): It was a community fish tank. I'm thinking about starting my new tank as maybe an oscar or cichlid tank or maybe having both? What are some cool species of cichlids to get that would...

Okay so I've had my 55 gallong tank up and running with fish in it for almost 3 weeks now. (Please don't tell me its not good to do fish-in cycling I did not find any of this out until after I got my fishies and the people at the store told me it was totally okay) Anywho.. almost 3 weeks now and...

okay guys I'm feeling so sad when I saw my gourami pecking at my dead fish at the bottom of my tank. And no, my gourami didn't kill it, my gourami is rather shy and hides a lot. Okay so I've been doing daily 25% water changes. My ammonia hasn't been past 0.25 ppm which is where it's at right...

So should I test my water for ammonia and ect. before or after I do a pwc? My tank is cycling. I'm using seachem stability to speed it up. So far everything has been working and running well. I've had my tank for almost 2 weeks now. My ammonia was at 0 for a while now it's at 0.25 ppm, nitritas...
