Hey I just wondered if some of you may be able to Id some of these new fish. I bought them at LFS under assorted Africans. If you don't mind IDing any you notice that would help a lot. All b/w 1 and 3" Also I wanted you opinions or suggestions on my setup. Marineland 59 gal 30 x 18 x 25...

My kenyi is FINALLY holding eggs. She moved a ton of sand around, this morning i woke up and there were mounds of sand moved to where she normally hangs out. She didn't eat this morning and her cheeks look swollen. Ill add pictures as soon as i can. I have a 29g that im using to grow out 3...

I'm changing my stock in my 56G. I've bought 3 johanni to make the male I already have more comfortable. I know they do best in groups. My current stock is as follows: 6 kenyi, 1 yellow tail acei, 1 yellow lab, 1 albino zebra, 1 red zebra, 1 rusty, 1 johanni. I know most will say these fish will...

My circiut breaker flipped to my aquarium and it lost power for what could have been close to 24 hours. Now I have noiticed irritation around the gills of most of my fish. They are a little pink. Ill post pictures asap. Luckily the room is above the garage and is difficult to keep cool. The...

Hey guys, finally bought a 75gal with stand, light, filter (which I can't make heads or tails of), and other goodies for $150. I'm going to take a lot of time to plan what I want so I figured id start a thread and hopefully get some ideas from you fine people. I'm thinking I want to do SA/CA...

Anyone have any sugesstions for a good book?

I have two johanni, one of which I bought because I assumed it was female. She was a silver/grey color with lots of yellow on the tail and dorsal fin with the black horizontal stripes. 24 hours after I introduced her she turned deep blue and black. I'm still not sure if she is female or just a...

Im very excited to finnnnally stock my new 56 gal. I need a little help though, I have 8 very aggressive malawi cichlids in my 29 gal now who will be moved over; including 2 johanni, red zebra, albino zebra, female auratus, yellow tail acei, rusty, and yellow lab. I plan on ordering 6 kenyi and...

sorry the picture isn't the best. I'm at work so I had to be quick :)

I'm planning a 55gal build where ill move my red zebra and blue johanni. I'm trying to find some mbunas who will hold their own with to these two. I'm considering a few kenyi. I'm also considering elongatus and maingano. Any other ideas?

Hey guys, I'm in the planning stages of my 55gal build. I bought the aquarium used and he had an air pump in there he gave me. It has two stones and valves to turn each off. I know these are benificial for gas exchange, but will these stress my cichlids out? Maybe just one is better? My tank's...

I just bought my own API master test kit. So far i have only been testing for ammonia... I know now that was incredibly stupid on my part. I have had 5 mbunas that have been in there for 2 weeks (all 2") and my tank cycled for 2 weeks before that with the use of stress-zyme. :hide: Its a 29...

Found a 56 gal on craigslist. Will these demensions be ok for mbunas? 30"x18"x26"

Ok, I have a 29 gal now. I realize that's too small so I'm in the market for a 55 or 75. I stocked a red zebra, blue johanii, rusty, yellow lab, yellow tail acei, and red peacock. The peacock is giving the rusty so much hell he stays in the back corner behind a plant. The rustys fins are...

I'm a rookie so bear with me :) I work at petco and just started my 29g. my aquatics specialist told me 6-7 africans would do well; once they got larger I can bring them to the store and adopt them out. I can't help but feel like its a bit crowded. They are all about 2". I have had the following...

These two were both sold as "assorted african cichlids." I'm thinking the orange may be a red zebra? Any ideas?

I'm matt. I'm a dog trainer at petco. Been working there 8 months and got into aquatics there. I have a 29 gal with 6 juvenile african cichlids. May need some help IDing two but I have a yellow lab, red peacock, blue johanni, and a rusty.

How big do they need to be before you can accurately diferentiate the sex? Also, to my knowledge, one egg spot on the anal fin means female and multiple egg spots means male. Is this correct?
