Hi everyone, Just starting up my new cichlid tank and I have currently 3 Melanochromis Maingano (sp) between 3-5cm and will get a couple more once the LFS restocks. I just bought a Salmontail catfish and even though he has only been in the tank an hour he is pacing near the heater and filters...

Hi everyone, Background story Around new years was cycling a second hand tank I got from a friend. 75 gallon, 4 ft tank. Dad surprised me with a little 3-4 inch black ghost knife, as the LfS told him it would be fine in my established 20 Gallon until the big one was cycled. Was so excited...

Hi everyone, So I have a 4ft 75G tank eagerly waiting for some fish! I have a fine Black substrate and will be decorating the tank with mostly rock formations and also some long driftwood pieces. Will hopefully have some plants, if my chosen cichlids don't pull them all out! Question is, I am...

I am expecting the worst here, but still figured better to ask and find out what the experts say. I am still only in the planning stage as I will be getting a 4 ft tank in a few months and am thinking of a cichlid tank setup. First off I am in love with Demasoni so started planning around...

Have been doing some research on killifish and it seemed that they were well suited community fish but as I have been watching my newly added pair (one male one female) aphryosemion Gardneri, the male seems to be grumpy and trying to eat my neons, although won't have much luck as they aren't...

Hi guys :) Well I'm completely new to the wonderful world of fish but so far so good (despite a little drama yesterday which is in a different thread) I have had my 70L tank up and running for two months now and already cannot wait to get a 6ft tank! Haha it's more addictive than I thought...
