I have a 55gal (4') tank that was set-up 3 years ago. I started with 19 small mixed africans. They did great overall, no fighting to speak of. Now I am done to 9 fish, peacocks & zebras mainly - 4" to 5". They seem to be getting more territorial, the one big yellow fish (zebra?) re-arranges the...

I have had my 125G tank going for a couple of months now. Some of the first fish I got were 5 little convicts. The tank is pretty well stocked now with a variety of SA fish (serverums, geos, etc). Noticed a convict digging in a corner of the tank the other day and now they have a bunch of fry! I...

I have a 125 gal tank with SA fish, tank has been going for 3 months or so. Most of the fish are small but I bought 2 large (6") orange severums from a local guy 3-4 weeks ago, they look great. I never see one of them eat, it will go up to food as its floating by but not take it in. The other...

Setting up a new 125gal tank, I bought a SunSun canister filter (525 gal/hour) that has a UV light built-in. How does that work with bacteria, I mean wouldn't it kill the good bacteria along with the bad?

I am cleaning out a tank for reuse (55). I have all the fish re-homed. This tank had algae pretty bad. I have rinsed and scrubbed all the rocks and driftwood and they cleaned up fairly easy. I will probably get new sand and treat it like a new tank but I would like to reuse some of the rocks and...

OK, I have two 55 gal. tanks side by side (different stands, different heights). One has all Africans (15 or so, apx. 3") and this tank is doing great, no problems. The other is SA's, had a couple of firemouths, convicts, cats. Made a big mistake and added a flowerhorn (not the kind with a...

I have one fish that looks a little fuzzy, almost like there is bubbles on her. She is swimming and eating normal. I tried catching to put in quarantine but couldn't get her . It would have to be a bucket as I don't have a extra tank. I did up the temp a bit to 85 and put a little salt in the...

Got my new 55gal (2nd tank) going. So far have two 2 spot catfish, 2 firemouths and 3 fish that start with a c (?). I have to go back to the store and get the name because I forgot already. I would like to move two red jewels from my other tank and maybe two new turqoise jewels in with them -...

I have a 55 gal with 16 or so africans, yellow labs, peacocks, etc (i need to get a accurate list). I got liitle guys to start (~1"). Its been running about 3 months and doing well, the fish are growing like crazy. Petco has their $1 a gallon sale on aquariums almost ending so I bought another...

I have a red zebra that used to be somewhat the bully of the tank. This is a fairly new setup - 2 months or so. Now he is hanging in the corner and looks scared. I havent seen any fish go after him and he dosnt look beat up at all. I havent seen him eat for 4 days or so, he goes up to the...

I have had a community tank (55gal) for over a year now. Started with the "hardy" fish, giant dianos, neons, tetras, added gourami's. Tank has been doing fine but I have had the bug to get into cichlids. So this week I bought a bunch of rocks and built some structure. I have been tying to...

I was searching for advice and came upon this site, looks like a lot of knowlege out here. I have a 55 gal. tank that has been going a little over a year. Started with the hardy starter fish - giant danios, neons, tetra. added some blue & gold gourmi's and cats, all fairly small cheaper fish...
