    How many cichlids?

    I have a 55g with a Pleco, a Firemouth, and a Tiger Oscar. I know, I know - I'm overstocked. I am getting rid of the Tiger Oscar. I want to add an electric blue, electric yellow, and a jewel cichlid. Is this too many fish? How many cichlids can I have without overstocking? I want lots of...

    Bacterial bloom?

    Ok, I give up. My 55g won't clear up. Water is so cloudy no matter how many water changes I do or how many times I clean the rocks. It's about 5 months (20 weeks) old, so it's completely cycled. Numbers are good. Plenty of filtration - an Aqueon 75 and Emperor 400. I am overstocked (but this...

    Unexpected aggression

    I added two tank mates today to my tank that currently holds my 4.5" Oscar. I got a large pleco (5 inches) and a Firemouth.

Everything was level before I added water but now it looks off. I am getting an actual level tomorrow to be sure, but wanted to know what you...

    Can someone explain to me how this is going to work?!

    So for the past week or so, I've been trying to teach myself everything possible about going from a 20g tank to a 55g tank. I think I've looked up nearly every tank and stand forum possible! I am sure I am being paranoid and stressing myself out over nothing, but I want to be sure first...

    I have no idea what I'm doing!

    I currently have a small aquarium (I think it's not even 30 gallons) that my 5" Oscar has definitely outgrown. I am looking to transfer him to a 72 gallon tank. I have a ton of questions that hopefully someone can answer: 1) How do I transfer him? Do I let the water in the new aquarium sit and...
