Thanks for the advice guys.. But, unfortunatly, my worst fear came true... I woke up yesterday morning and he was a gonner, dangit! Before I turned off the lights, the night before, he had began to swim at the top of the tank for some reason.. I'm just really confused! Maybe it was his time to...

Haha that's usually all it takes! JK But for real, Ive got this LED, flashlight, head-band thing (pretty dorky I know) that I use to check-in on my fish, when the lights are off, and my male gbr is now swimming at the top of the tank, at like a 45-60 degree angle.. Not looking good.. He could...

No bloating that I could tell, except for my gluttunous synadontis, who is a garbage disposable, to say the least. And off the topic, but I think my syno has been trying to make moves on my bristle-nosed pleco. They are always trying to share the same hiding spot, and i've literally seen my syno...

I mix up their diet with Omega One Cichlid/Tropical Fish Flakes, Hikari Bloodworms, and live brine shrimp.. Flakes mainly, brine shrimp twice a week. Perform approx 2 water changes a week, change filters every 2-3 weeks. Didn't quarantine any fish, but closely observed/examined each tank, that I...

Artificial plants too. BTW, I accept and understand corrective criticism. Just let me know what's up. I hope he just isn't depressed from having his potential offspring eaten up, so quickly, and has nothing else to live for! What a delicacy. Pretty sure my pleco joined in on the overnight frenzy too

Thanks for the quick response. OK, I literally just tested everything over the past ten minutes so here we go.. - 29 gallon tank (tall), approx. 40 lbs. of playsand (thoroughly rinsed/cleansed), 78-80 Degrees (F), slabs of limestone and black slate, 150 and 100 Bio-Wheel Filtration System, 2...

What up guys? So, my male German Blue Ram is just hovering over this limestone rock, on the filter side of my 29 gallon aquarium. Noticed he's been chilling in the same spot for a few hours, so I went and got some live brine shrimp.. which he devoured, then he went back to the same spot. He...

What up everybody?! How can you tell the difference between male and female, freshwater, angelfish??? How old or big do they have to get before they reach sexual maturity, and can begin spawning/find a mate?

Thanks man. I don't really have any high expectations of these eggs to survive because I have a couple tank-mate, inhabitants that I'm sure will pick off these eggs (and the parents too bc its their first spawning). Though, I did take your advice of over-stocking, and returned 2 of the small...

What up everybody!? So, the GBR pair, that I thought had formed a couple, has spawned, over 100 eggs easy! I introduced 2 males and 2 females to my tank over the past week, found out who the dominant couple was, and then, returned the recessive (less-dominant) GBR couple back to the LFS (which...

Also, just over the past couple weeks I've noticed that one of my slabs of black slate is now covered in a brownish, algae-looking, thin moss. And it hasn't taken too long for this stuff to spread/grow.. Should I be worried? What exactly is it? Thanks

That sounds pretty sweet. I, unfortunatly, went ahead and returned the other, less-dominant male GBR because it lost all of its color and was hiding in corners of the tank, about as far away as the dominant male, as possible. He wasn't showing any confidence. That was about 3 hours ago, and now...

Ok, word dude. I'm just trying to get the most responses by having it seen in 3 different forums for the maximum amount of advice. Sorry if that's a problem Davey. Thought it was a good idea! Thanks for the advice homie.. GO CATS!!

Thanks for the advice jetajockey. I'm going to return the less dominant male GBR to the lps and let the dominant male do his thing and pick his female. I knew it was a long shot to try and spawn 2 pairs at once, but it looks like it just wasn't meant to be. At least now, I can figure out the...

- 29 gallon tank (tall) - Temperature - 80 degrees (F) - Substrate - 50 lbs of playsand (thoroughly rinsed/cleansed) - Filtration - 150 Penguin Bio-Wheel Filtration System, and 100 Penguin Bio-Wheel Filtration System - Artificial plants, slabs of limestone and black slate - GH-120, kH-120...

What up everybody?! So, today I purchased 1 new male German Blue Ram and 2 female German Blue Rams (GBRs), from the local pet store (lps). I now have a total of 4 GBRs, which include 2 males and 2 females. The good-looking, male GBR I had previously, lost his dominance when the new male was...

Thanks for the replies and advice guys! I'm giving myself about 3 months before I upgrade to at least a 55 gallon tank. Looking forward to the future of my fish! Go Kentucky Cats baby!!!

Yooo... so whoa, whoa, whoa.. My mistake about some of my parameters. Meant my GH and kH both read 120 (not zero) and my NO2 and NO3 are 0 and 0. My bad for the typo. My tank has been running since August, and during that time, I didn't properly cycle my tank, and eventually, my stock didn't...

What up everybody?! So.. Over the past month, I've been stocking up my 29 gallon tank, with the expectation of having a nice, tropical, freshwater community. My parameters and fish stock are included below. Would much appreciate any advice or opinions. Thanks guys :cool: - 29 gallon tank...

Those are all GBR's. No question about it. I've had 3 mating couples over the past 2 years and have seen all shades of GBR's, because they can sometimes lose their color and regain it, in an instant. Their colors will vary based on water temp, pH, spawning habits, and tank mates. GBR's fo' sho'...

Thanks guys.. my GBRs, Angels, and Synadontis made it through the night.. Just got off work and they're all sitting on the bottom now, barely eating my brine shrimp (thought that'd be a nice treat if this was their last meal and ended up in my toilet).. I don't know my ammonia levels.. (Yes, I...

- 29 Gallon tank - 100 and 150 Penguin Bio-Wheel Filtration System\ - 2 Heaters - 1 automatically set @ 78 Degrees (F), other is an Aqueon 100 Watt Submersible Heater set @ 82 Degrees (F) -50 lbs of playsand (thoroughly rinsed/cleansed) - Slabs of slate/limesone, couple small pieces of...

What's up guys?! Just bought a new synadontis valentiana (spotted african catfish) that I added to my 29 gallon tank. Wish I had a picture, but that's still in the works. Below is some data reguarding my tank. Let me know what you all think about my fish community.. I'm open to everything...
