So I just set up my 55 that had been sitting empty for over a year and used 30 gallons of water from my 125, 25 gallons of tap water, and a cap full of prime. I took 1 of the biowheel 350s from my 125 with both filter cartridges and 2 bags of biomax and put that on the 55 to create what was...

Just set up my 55 gallon tank that had been sitting empty for over a year and decided to try something different besides large CA cichlids so grabbed 12 Exodon Paradoxus. Have any of u kept them before? If so, any advice or info that would be helpful? I've researched them quite a bit online but...

These are the 2 females I just bought this afternoon for my male in an attempt to get the pair that I've wanted for a while. Could anyone tell me what's wrong with their bellies? I know females tend to have more rounded bellies all the time but these 2 aren't really rounded, they just seem to be...

My 7" male jaguar cichlid has 1 very small cotton growth on the tip of his right pectoral fin and just got 2 new ones on his left fin when I came home from work tonight. Water parameters as of Sunday night before a 25% water change were about what they usually are... 125 gallon tank Ammonia- 0...

Just got done dosing my 125 gallon tank that houses my 7" jaguar cichlid with tetra parasite guard and was wondering if I need to add carbon to all 3 of my filters or if it would be ok to just add the inserts to my 2 biowheel 350s... other filter in question is an aquaclear 110. Do I need to add...

Since I've decided to keep my 7" male jag in his 125 by himself, I'm thinking of trying to breed something that I can use as feeders but won't be too time consuming for me. I've done some research and wouldn't mind getting a pair of convicts but it seems like I may end up getting more feeders...

In my 125 I got a 7-8" male jag, 5" male Midas, 4" female salvini, 3.5" male festae, and a 5" featherfin catfish. I've had the jag since he was about an inch long and the bigger he gets, the more I notice the Midas and festae trying to fight him for top rank in the tank and see he's getting a...

7-8" Jag (gender? Looks male to me) I'm guessing this is a male because of long dorsal fin extensions but does it look like a pure Midas or midas x red devil? (Was sold as pure Midas, is about 4-5") 3-4" Festae, male or female? Or still too early to tell? Only really see his or her...

So I was stressing my fish out yesterday because I returned my umbee to the LFS so I had to take alot of the decorations out and chase the umbee around til I caught him. I woke up this morning and noticed my Midas' gill plates are a lightish red/pink color (1 side way more noticeable than the...

Moved my 6 inch male jag and 4 inch featherfin catfish from a 55 to a 125 last night. For now I'm going to have to stick with the same filtration, which is 2 biowheel 350's, but will definitely upgrade that soon. I kept about 40-45 gallons of old tank water and kept the biowheels, filter...

Male or Female jag? About 5 inches right now... Hope the pics are clear enough
