Today I bought a few electric yellows and acei. When looking closely, I saw this little guy and I'm perplexed on what kind he is. I've had a few electric yellows and this guy does not look like one. Any ideas on what type of cichlid this is? His fins have black edges like a yellow lab but he...

I'm a first time regulator buyer and I saw a Victor VTS 252C regulator for a good price. According to Victor's website, this is a hydrogen regulator. I could just get different fittings to make it compatible with a 10-20lb CO2 tank right? Also the handle appears to be missing from the...

Hello everyone, I just started a 55g cichlid tank and I have 15 juvenile cichlids in the tank right now. About 4 yellow lab cichlids are undersized (about half the size of my kenyi's) and can barely compete for any food. I was wondering if I should put the undersized cichlids in a breeder net...

Hi everyone, This is my first planted tank. I've had this tank for a while but only with plastic plants until I decided to make it fully planted. It's a 55g, low light, no CO2 tank. From left to to right, the tank has: red wendtii, anubias nana, amazon sword, another sword, anubias and a...

I'm going to add plants to my 55g standard rectangular tank (48" long) for the first time and I'm not sure what lighting I should get. I'm planning on planting simple low light plants because I do not want to add CO2 to the water. Would this light be good? Dual-Lamp T5-HO | Aquatic Life And...

My betta has been acting strange a week ago. He seemed really depressed besides the time when I feed him. For the past week he just lays on the sand sideways and I thought he got swim bladder so I stopped feeding him. He looks completely normal but now he cant swim right (instantly floats down...

Today I noticed that my sunset platy is sick. His stomach looks inverted and his fin looks clamped. He is also not eating and swims lethargically. I put him in a separate tank and tested water parameters which came out fine. He's pooping more than usual but it is just normal brown poop, not the...

Okay this is kind of a long story but feel free to read. So about 20 minutes ago I was lying on my couch playing on my ipod when I heard a flopping noise. I looked around and I see on my aquarium, some how my sunset plattie had jumped out, landed on the tank cover, and then flopped on the...

Hi I'm new to the forums and one of my neon tetras started to swim vertically in circles for no reason and is now upside down. All of my tetras seem fine about an hour ago. I immediately took the poor tetra out and placed him in a small container and put some stress coat. As of now he lays there...
