Just wondering what the process is for renaming cichlids and recategorising - noticed lots of names have been changed over the last view years and always wondered who makes the final choice wether to move a cichlid to a different group etc

Hi, I've recently been given an offer of a pair or single male Tahuantinsuyoa Macantzatza, the Inca Stone Fish. I can't really find that much info on them, mainly adult size and temperament, if anyone knows about these any info would be great, all info I've found has not really been conclusive...

Just a quick question, Do Red Spot Severum's maintain there colouring into adulthood - getting conflicting info on this, thanks.

Just like to wish all the forum members and there fish a very Merry Christmas, and no turkey for the fish - unless you have Oscars etc :)

Never had problems getting German Rams or Apisto's breeding, Bolivians have always been a thorn in my side. Got my male a partner a few months ago after searching everywhere for a female, though after watching it colour up in the tank we believed it to be a another male, so again breeding...

Hi, I've only worked with the tropical side, mainly SA Cichlids - however a job opportunity has came up working for a special aquarium shop and if i take it they want me to get a small marine set up which they will help pay for, it has to be 32 g or less. This is to help me get a better...

My dads GBR is showing symptoms of whirling disease, swimming in tight circle, staying in same location, still has good colour though - though the symptoms have only started. Is it more humane to euthanize the fish using the clove oil method or should I try to treat with some Paraguard...

Hi, just noticed 2 young Red Onion snails one of my tanks where I added 4 adult ones to about 3 months ago, I was told they could not reproduce in freshwater - anyone have experience with these guys?

Just done a 3rd Regen of my Purigen, followed the procedure as recommended only I do each part for 24 hours - Rinse, Bleach, Rinse, Prime, Rinse back in filter. The purigen looked clean and I could not smell any odours. Within 1 hour my fish went to the back of the tank and started showing signs...

Hi, I have been battling black hair algae for a few weeks now in my 63 gallon and all I've managed to do is slow it's progress. It's on an Anubias I have and started to spread to hairgrass, so far I've cut down my lighting to 7-8 hours a day 2xT5 bulbs, reduced my dose of flourish to once a week...

Was thinking about adding a CO2 system to my tank, but was wondering how do I know how much is correct, is there a simple way to work it out. I have a 63g tank with long hairgrass, vallisneria spirals, mini hairgrass on bogwood, anubias, java fern and an amazon sword - easy to care type plants...

Recently purchased a Java Fern which after 2 weeks developed a black hair algae problem so I binned immediately. Problem is I've noticed it starting to appear on my Anubias and Vals, I've read about using flourish excel but I stopped using this because it was melting my Vals. Is there anything...

Hi, I'm looking recommendations for a small to mid sized South American or Central Americian Cichlid to finish my 63 gallon 240 litre Juwel Rio, fully cycled, over filtered, 2 heaters monitored by Seneye and API tests and i do weekly 30% water change, sometimes a 10-20% midweek change as well if...

Noticed this picture on http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/ - is that cylinder on the left a new Eheim inline heater? Or some UV device?

I have a pair of GBR who have been fantastic together for months, but all sudden the male is being really aggressive and chasing her relentlessly, her colour goes and only returns when she finds a place to hide - happening for nearly 2 days. I have a Juwel Rio 240 tank, over filtered, 5 Sterbai...

I have only been keeping tropical fish for a few months but have got the bug big time. Im about to make a jump from a small 60l Arcadia Arc tank and Eheim Ecco Pro 200 to Juwel Rio 240 ( White ), I was wondering anyone else has this tank and would recommend it or not, I was also hoping to run my...

Hi, I'm new to keeping tropical fish - always had cold water. Just a query regarding temperature drops and rises, I have a brand new Eheim Jäger 100w heater vertically as recommended in my 60l tank with the outlet flow hitting it directly, flow coming from an Eheim Ecco Pro. The dial is set at...

Just a quick hello from a newbie to aquariums, have only started 4 months ago but have got the bug. At the moment I have a 60l Arcadia tank and a 35l Arcadia which im doing a fishless cycle in at present. I have 5 Tiger Barbs and 6 Danio's in the 60l which I have hooked up to an Eheim Ecco 200 (...
