Hey All, Been awhile since I have been on here, but I have a dilemma. I am moving in a year and will need to get rid of one of my tanks. I currently have a 180G, 60G and a 40G. Stocking 180G (3 years running) Oscar (Fair size) JD x2 (1 medium and 1 timid large) Syndodontis Catfish x2 Red...

It seems my convicts have gotten extremely territorial lately now that they are spawning. They killed my pleco in the tank and i have attached a pic of a bite out of a JD. Now i am assuming that is them doing the damage. Question is. Should i take them out or would a DIY divider work in a...

Well. Sadly i lost the pleco. I have now noticed that one of the JDs has what looks like a bite out of his lip I am wondering if these two got into it maybe. Can't see a pleco doing that. Thinking i am rehoming the convicts as the are becoming very territorial. I will try and get a...

Hey all. Any idea if this is just a fish attacking my pleco or a more serious issue? 180g tank with an Oscar, 2 JDs and 2 pink convicts. Tank has been running for 2 years with no issues. Also just checked water parameters and all is good. I was away for 2 days and they are used to...

That fish is gorgeous. Oscar doesn't seem to interested in anything in the tank. But i am probably gonna be cautious and stick with loaches. Sent from my SGH-I257M using Aquarium Advice mobile app

What type of cichlid is the pic? At first i thought it was a clown loach lol. Not a fan of tetras any other recommendations? What about tiger barbs? Would their speed make them a safe bet or would they just be food at feeding time? Sent from my SGH-I257M using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I have the loaches in a 60. Waiting to get bigger. Or should they be fine art close to medium size? I never see anyone bothering the one that is in there. Very cool setup there. I caught some of the fry after a week with parents and put them in a breeder net in my 60. See how that goes...

Any thoughts at all? Sent from my SGH-I257M using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Been awhile since I have posted. Happy New Year to all! Questions: Can I temporarily put a Pink Convict pair in a 10G to spawn? They are currently in a 180 but when they start to spawn (which has been often lately) they become super territorial. Their tank mates are 2 JD's and an Oscar...

They very well could have just died. I just found it a quick death as they were fine the night before. I will get back about the syno type. At work currently. My other thought is i did a water change the night before and didn't put enough dechlorinator in the water. The chlorine levels are...

Hey Guys, Been awhile since I have been on the forums, but got a bit of an issue. I have a 60G (4ftx2ftx1ft) running for about 6months, with no issues. Current stock is Guppies (Which hang out mostly at the top) 2 Syno's (Which are being grown out for my 180 so not permanent) 2...

I recently adopted these 3 catfish for my 180g S.A. cichlid tank. Curious if i can get an i.d. i have a feeling they are just your typical catfish found in lakes and ponds in Canada. I also think they are gonna get bigger then i desired. Any help would be great. Sent from my SGH-I257M...

My one colorful shrimp. The rest don't have suck a strong red. This guy sticks out Sent from my SGH-I257M using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Sorry for the late response. Wattage is 10. I also just realized, I am using 1 13w everyday CFL bulb. For some reason when I plug the UltraSun in one of the sockets it flickers. Plants: Rotala Hornwart Bacopa Broadleaf Anubias Christmas Moss Straight Val or a Sword can't...

I am using two UltraSun 6500K bulbs for my 10G. Question is, should I remove the plastic partion between light and water and have direct light with no barrier? I feel with these two bulbs I should be getting better results. When I first put the lights in my Wisteria and rotala were awesome...

Hey All, I am currently getting ready to completely switch over my 10g into a shrimp only tank. I currently have 5 shrimp, bought around the middle of February, but no babies, so I am assuming a few things. A few questions that I seem to get conflicting info about online that I would...

Hey All, I am curious about the stock list I have going right now, and am wondering if I should subtract or I have room to add to the tank. Info about tank. 180G Tank has been running since about March 1st. Eheim Pro 3 Filter. Media was seeded in my 40G since Dec 26th. Lots of...

Another question. Is Live sand basically a gimmick. I was planning on using pool Filter sand. Sent from my SGH-I257M using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Yes will want some fish as well. Does anyone have a good link on how to properly build a sump. If I go that route I want to make myself. Never done SW and it is kind of intimidating lol Sent from my SGH-I257M using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I have an empty 40g tall tank that I want to make into a sw tank with corals. My first question is. With this size do I need to get a sump or can a hob filter work. If I need a sump is 10g sump big enough? Trying to play with the stuff I have already to reduce what I need to buy. Thanks for...

I would stay away from firemouths and the Peacock. They will get aggressive for sure. Rams are fairly hardy imo. I had Germans with my barbs and all was good. Sent from my SGH-I257M using Aquarium Advice mobile app

List away... I would love a big centerpiece type fish with a gentle attitude the size of an Oscar. Still trying to get the second hose pumping on the filter :banghead:

liking the vieja. Gonna research a bit more. Gonna keep clown loaches at the bottom and maybe some kind of cat fish. I assume cory's will just get destroyed. Sent from my SGH-I257M using Aquarium Advice mobile app

A little update. Got all my old fish in. Most of them I will return soon to replace with cichlids. Don't think Platy's will last too long with them. For my ammo down to 0.25 and my nitrates to 5. PH is 7.6 which kinda concerns me with my SA plan. But if I maintain it, all should be good...

Lol I know the deal with the convicts. Even the lfs guy is trying to stop me. I think it is a sign. I just think they are cool looking. Gonna research the other types of fish. Got to give the firemouths some company. Sent from my SGH-I257M using Aquarium Advice mobile app
