Well it sounds like your tank is big enough i have a fire eel with mine and love him. You really need to have a tight lid as they are escape artist. They are hard to find and expensive also. I think he would be fine with them. Should have alot of hiding for them too. My mbunas dont mess with...

A 29 gallon sounds perfect to me its only 30 1/4 L x 12 1/2 W x 18 3/4 H.

Wow sorry to hear that. Well your on the right track as far as using all the material in the tank for the bacteria. 1st i would research and find a GOOD local fish store. Sometimes you can get some seeded media to help with cycle. Most cycles can take 4-6 weeks sometimes more. Its kinda the...

ok cool thanks guys. Is ok to have 2 females and 1 male. I have a yellow one also. I just love the white one shes a beauty.

So i have about 10 other malawi umbuna cichlids for about 1 month. They all get along as good as cichlids do. No real bullies yet, they are still small 1 1/2" to 2". But the past few days this one has been alone and not eating. Shes swimming fine, no marks,spots etc looks healthy. Tank is a 55...

Ok thanks hope i didnt do any thing wrong. I reread the rules.

Only about 2 1/2" at the deepest not alot thats why i like these so much its not taking all the tank space up.

I bought like 5 3d backgrounds they are made of foam aquarium safe and some are made of a composite material really nice i only used 1 of them. They are extremely light and have magnets on back of hard composite ones, the foam ones are bendable and need to me siliconed on back of aquarium. I...

Sorry about the late passing fishy. Lady Alia can you tell me what kind of fish the one in your avatar is. Hope im not being rude.

ok i see not a bad idea ill give it a try. Thanks

I have 10 malawi's in a 55 gallon with a small fire eel. All cycled out really good. My question is the fire eel loves ghost shrimp. And soooo do the cichlids. I know i cant feed the cichlids too many shrimp how can i feed the eel?? The cichlids are on flakes and pellets. How much is too much...

boy great ideas now my head is spinning. :fish1: beautiful fishys.

So i have a 55 mbuna cichlid tank. I also have a 75 to set up next week and start cycling. Im thinking of doing a community tank something with small fish schools and bright colors i like the little neon tetras but i want an assortment of fish. I just saw these german ram fish are these cichlids...

oh good idea ill try that.

Yeah i checked all around the tank completely. Lid yes. no i didnt turn over all decs i have alot of slate rocks and round river rocks and that i really dont want to do.:banghead:

Ok i had a small crawfish in my tank he went in and hid. Now a few days later i dont see him anywere?? Can they burrow in the sand? I checked all around the tank and no sign of him?? Lost but not found.:confused: Any ideas

Ok i see i should of done like 70%. Ill do another 50% tomorrow. Thanks guys. Being as i have no ammonia and some nitrAtes with my nItrites spikeing does it mean im almost done cycling

Just did 50% pwc nitrites down to .50 . should i do another one? This wont hurt my cycle will it?

Ok you mean when the water comes in and goes thru the sock the first divider put the divider up an inch or so the water goes under not over the divider. Now should i put an egg crate at bottom of first intake under sock and put scrubbies as extra filter.?

Yes they are climbing. Ammonia at 0, ph at 8, nitrAtes 5, nitrItes are at around 1ppm nice purple in api kit. What now? Oh yea i also had a local cichlid store whom ive know for years he breeds them he gave me a seeded filter its on of those grey round tube like sponges that you put in the tank...
