Hey guys help me sex and identify these 2.

So...Some of my labs were trying to spawn. They were successful but my Zebra was not having it!!!LOL!

Here is a new video. I've got some new fish in this all male 125 125 Gallon Mixed Malawi Peacock/Hap/Mbuna aquarium - YouTube

Well, love its in the air. I took this opportunity to take some video. They look pretty in breeding dress.

I'm going with male. Any arguements? His color in the tank is drab and his getting big...I'm worried, i expected more then just a little red. He is about 4 inches now

Hey all, need a little help with the id of the guy right at the beginning of the video. My guess its A. Stuartgranti (ngara) what do y'all think?

Well It's been a long road but it's up and running. Enjoy! I am sorry the video is dark in places. I have not figured my camera out all the way. Justin 125 Gallon Hap/Peacock Lake Malawi Cichlid Aquarium - YouTube

New Hap Got this guy today...The kids can't decide on a name. They have narrowed it down to either Brutus or Floyd. I like both names!

Ive got my tank moved into my new place. Its only temporary so i'm not adding substrate. I dont like the look without substrate but the fish are looking great. The water also stays really clear with no sand. July 5, 2012 1:31 PM - YouTube

Heres my tank with the new peacocks added. They are the little grey ones with orange fins. I wish I had a better camera. My tank is not that dark in real time. good vid - YouTube

Hey Everyone, I have an oubreak of BBA starting on my planted aquarium. Let me give you the low down on my setup then ill ask my questions. I have a 36 gal. bowfront. Stock is 4 gouramis,1 black skirt tetra, 1 zebra danio, 1 small common pleco. Plants are 2 small anubias, a good clump of java...

Anyone have any luck keeping Java Moss with Mbuna? I have come to realize that my cichlid tank lacks balance. What i mean is with no plants or only slow growth plants (anubias) nitrates are very hard to control. Im pretty much forced to change 50% every week to maintain 20ppm nitrates. My...

Got me a big peice of Gnarly red spider wood. Dosent change PH or leach tannins. Love the way it looks like an old tree!!!

What is this? I bought it thinking it was Wisteria, but it dosent look like any i can find online. Ignore the Gourami, hes a ham...

36 gallon**lighting question**HELP!! Im upgrading my lights to the 55w bright kit from AH supply. It will fit in my factory light fixture that came from aqueon. My question is the fixture is isolated from the water by a strip of acrylic built into the lid. Should I remove the strip of acrylic...

Im new to planted tanks but I have plenty of exp with fishkeeping. I have a 75 gal Mbuna tank and a 36 gal tropical tank. I have the 36 gal aqueon starter kit that came with a single bulb fixture. I know that I need to upgrade to a new bulb to keep plants. I have wisteria, some floating...

Water is a bit cloudy from kicking up some poo while re doing things. I was sort of going for an old sunken tree that fractured in 3 places along a rock pile motif...LMAO!!! in need a tripod Anubias is doing well (far right) and Java fern is mounted to the middle piece of driftwood. Its a...

I know that its not advised, but what are your thoughts on mixing in peacocks with Mbuna. I see many aquariums that do this. Most are large. How about in a 75? Thanks for your opinions. The Mbuna would be Labs, Demasoni, and zebras Justin

I really am frustrated here....I have been set up for over 2 months now. I am still getting .25 of ammonia every 3-4 days. All I use is prime and I do a pwc every time I see a little green on the API...The test kit is brand new. I have 0 Nitrites and 5 nitrates. I have a emperor 400 supercharged...

This should probably be posted somewhere else, but the cichlid bunch is who I interact with the most so....MERRY XMAS!!! Justin

Ok so I just stripped my Lab female....She was about 8 days holding so I got eggs with tiny flippers. So into the egg tumbler they went. All was fine and I adjusted the airstone to gently tumble the eggs. So I suction cuped the tumbler in place and went to make the kids some lunch. When I...

Ok I have a acrylic box of fry in my main. It has holes drilled in all four sides to allow clean water in and dirty out. I have had it set up for about 3 weeks. Today I lost 2 fry. I have no reason why. Water is perfect ammo 0 and nitrates 5. No changes at all. Now my stupid question is I put an...

Do any of you all fertilize your african tanks to grow algae?

Do thoes of you who have sand see your fish flashing sometimes? My guys will swim fast and scratch on the sand. Then scoop up a big mouthful and spit it out. Then use thier tails to clear out a space under a rock. Its really cool..Is some flashing normal? I see no ich signs. Water is...
