    Filter Not Taking in Water

    Ok here's the skinny, I have a Regent Aqua-Tech 200 on my 55G that has been working just fine until today. The tank had no fish and I ran the filter for about a week but last night my significant other felt like it was a waste of electricity to run the tank without anything in it so he shut off...

    Cichlid Identification Help

    While at the LFS today seeing about Keyholes, I came across a Cichlid that I just had to have :) He's pretty beat up due to him being housed with two Nimbochromis livingstonii but I think with some work he'll pull through. Can anyone identify him for me?

    Rethinking Cichlids

    After many failed attempts to find a certain Cichlid, I decided to give up on the idea of them. Well that is until I found the Cleithracara maronii. As many will know, I am not a Cichlid keeper and don't know my left shoe from my right when it comes to them. Can anyone give me information on the...

    A simple solution to Swim Bladder

    I came across this today and thought that it was the coolest thing ever for a Goldfish. The fish has what seems to be a swim bladder problem and instead of letting nature take it's course the owner has built what they call an aquatic "wheelchair". It helps the fish from flipping over all of...
