I have 3 large males, 1 regular and 2 pinks. I had a female that mated with my regular convict. After they had their fry I put the female in with one of the pink ones. He ended up killing her. So now I have 50 or so babies. All I want is 3 females. When they are little you can not tell the...

Ok, thanks so much for the info

Its a 55 g. If most cichlids do this, why rehome one? Edit, I'm sure one is a female for sure because she dropped an egg. Could it be the other 2 are males? The female don't lip lock with the other 2 that's doing the lip lock thing.

I have 2 jewel cichlids. They are about 5" long. They seem to hang out together often. They are the plain jewels. But at times they both turn red almost looking like they are bloody and they will grab into each others lips and don't let go for about 3-5 minutes. I'm not sure what's going on. Is...

I have 2 in my tank. I had the one several months, the other I have had for 1 month. The newest one started floating a week after I bought him. So every day I would check on him, he had no smell but was still floating for over a week. I took him out and put him in a cup and added 1" of aquarium...

Ok thanks, I have enough to go into a few of my tanks. I will try some in each and see what happens.

Ok, well I guess my purchasing these was not a good idea. Maybe I will use one of my smaller tanks and put some shrimp and snails along with the new plants. Thank you all for the info.

Ok, what about one of the cichlid tanks?

Ok, thanks so much. Then I don't need dirt for them, sand bottom is ok? I have many tanks. I have cichlid tanks, tropical mild tanks? I do have silver dollars in my mild tanks and they are little pigs. Will they destroy the plants? Thanks

I just bought wisteria and moneywort. The pet store said they are easy to grow. I get on the net and many different info on these plants. So I'm a little confused. The plants came in little pots. Do you just plant the pot in the sand or do you need soil of some sort and remove from the pot? What...

It looks like a Golden killifish or maybe a golden wonder.

LOL well it's working for you. I was worried my fish would be killed by them. I hope it continues to go well for you.

I hope you continue to have good luck with them. When I bought them they were large fish about the same as my other fish. Maybe it was just my tank mates.

Could it be from leaching from your driftwood?

It sounds like fungus. Look up fungus treatment for your fish. I've never had guppies. Sorry I can't help out more.

The op said it's a 120 g. I had 2 Auratis for about 24 hours. They caused such a fighting in my tank, I returned them to the pet store. I bought them with the advice of the pet store. After I returned them they got pissed and said if I buy anymore fish their will be no returns or refunds. They...

The first one in the photo looks like a male to me. The top fin is more pointed. It looks just like my males body shape and fin. It's hard to tell by the photo to be sure. If a female is holding their head tends to look plumper in the head area. They also act like the are chewing something.

Are you sure this is an acei? I think it may have been miss labeled. What color is the top fin? It's hard to tell by the photo.

Is your female that you think maybe deformed be holding?

When you done the water change was the new water close to the tank water temp? Mine reacted like that when I was in a rush and done the WC with to cool of water. I felt real bad about that mistake. But he survived my mistake.

I noticed you have your acei fish with your BB. Has yours started breeding with the BB in the tank? Mine BB eats the eggs of my yellow labs and my acei every time. Your fish are very nice looking.

Well I'm glad for that. Then my other fish can catch up to his size. He is the bully of my tank. LOL maybe then he will stop eating all of my mating fish eggs before they hit the sand to be fertilized by the male. I will watch this thread for more info. Thanks

Well if I get infested with them then I will pop them in my cichlid tank. They will take care of that for me. LOL on the other hand if ours end up being mystery snails they are like $2.00 each here and I would love more of them.

1st is my male now 4.5 inches the 2nd is my female around 3.5 inches. Bought them a few months ago they were 2.5 then. The male grew quick and is very stocky. The females spots that used yellow on top are now white. My acei didn't grow nearly as fast as the bb's. mine are little pigs LOL mine...

Thanks so much for your help. They are in with my albino shark and so far so good.
