yesterday I found that my kenyi cichlid was holding eggs for the third time. The only male I have with her right now is a jewel cichlid. Has anyone ever had a kenyi/jewel hybrid? or does anyone have an idea of what it would look like? I also have a young female yellow lab/ auratus hybrid. any...

hey everyone! I desperately need to restock a 40 gal hex tank. It's been empty for weeks but everything is still running. I'm just broke right now so i haven't gotten any fish to stock it. At first, I was thinking a rainbow tank. Now I'm thinking all male guppies. Any other suggestions? please help!

Hi, all! My family is planning a trip to Cromwell, CT at the end of March to attend the NEC convention. On the NEC website, it is not clearly defined whether there is an admission fee for non-club members. Can anyone give me some more info? Has anyone been to this event in the past? Thank you!

I was at Petsmart the other day and there was a tank of calico fantails for only a dollar. I was looking at them and noticed that one of them was missing his left eye. He seemed active and healthy other than the missing eye, no injuries, so I took him home. He's still doing great except he has...

A few months ago, my grandmother bought a 56 gallon column tank. I set it up for her over the course of two months, but she had a major ich outbreak after bringing home some 80 cent cardinal tetras that she got at a sale (I wasn't there to pre-approve these fish- she bought them because of their...

This morning, I went to Wal-Mart with my mom. I insisted on watching the fish while she shopped, as usual. I approached the fish and the first thing I noticed was the emaciated African cichlids. I took a closer look, seeing a female auratus hiding in the back. She had an odd shape to her...

I went to petsmart today to get some comets for our pond... I ended up also buying the two most pregnant guppies and a male guppy. By the time we got home, one of the guppies had had nine fry in the bag. All are alive and well so far :) Wish me luck with my 13th drop!

I was just wondering what other people have named their bettas! I think naming your fish is one of the funnest parts of keeping them. My first betta was named Bubbles... I was seven. Then I got... Stanton Lucy Taz (short for Razzmatazz) And now I have... Epic (short for Mister EpicFishington)...

I have a 20 gal that's been up and running for about two years now. I was wondering if my stocking is okay or if anyone has any recommendations. 1x 4 inch blue gourami 4x hi fin tetra 2 ADFs 1x 5 inch common pleco (only temporary- I'm boarding it for my grandmother until she gets home from...

I stopped at my LFS today and picked up 5 baby convicts for 99 cents a piece. they are 1/4-3/4 of an inch long at the moment. At the store, they had them in with the guppies. Is it okay to put them in with my guppy fry in a 29 gal until I can get them their own tank? Any other advice greatly...

So yesterday, I was cleaning my 20 gal which is temporarily boarding my grandmother's fish, one of which is a tinfoil barb. I made the mistake of filling the tank with the cold water hose, and I didn't wait long enough for the water to heat back up before adding the fish. I slowly added the...

I have an empty 10 gallon and can't decide how to stock it :facepalm:

I have a problem with my female guppies. It seems to me like dropsy, but it's only my female guppies being affected. Specifically after they drop fry, the female begins hiding and she gets extremely skinny, she clamps her fins, and the scales on her stomach are raised. I treat them for...

My dad and I are building a canister filter. we are looking to purchase a 200GPH fully emersible pump with intake and outtake valves. Preferably under 60 dollars. If anyone can recommend a pump, that would be fantabulous.

my dad and I are building a canister filter. We are looking for an EMERSIBLE pump with an intake and output. If anyone can recommend a good brand for under 60 dollars, that would be fantabulous. It needs to pump about 200GPH 3' up.

Hey everyone! I just wanted to share a picture of one of my ten gallon tanks that I just re-aquascaped. I got my inspiration from James Finedly, founder of The Green Machine. His aquascape called "Through the Eyes of a Child" displays the two-thirds type aquascape. He is my inspiration for...

So, yesterday I purchased four green cories for my community tank. I noticed that one had what looked almost like pollen on a bumblebee's legs on her pelvic fins. Upon closer examination and some research, I discovered that they were eggs. Can I get some advice on how to successfully breed and...

I was wondering if anyone lives on or has a camp on Lake Cobbosseecontee in Manchester, Maine. I was up there this summer at our family's camp and netted a sunfish. I brought it home (my uncle is a fish and game warden- he said it was fine) and still have it in an aquarium. I know there are...

I was shopping with my grandmother the other day and she wanted to get some live plants so i could aquascape for her. We picked some out and when we got home, i put them in her tank. It waasnt until about an hour later while i was looking at the box the plant came in that i realized it was...

I'm a newbie to cichlids. I have 19 of them in a 29 gal. I've done plenty of research but can't find anything on what their colors are called. Theyre all africans: 5x blue with vertical grey/black stripes 3x solid blue 1x albino 2x yellow 1x black 2x orange 1x jewel 2x black/yellow/white...

I got 20 ghost shrimp about six months ago. I was told their lifespan was about 2 weeks to 2 months. Three of them are still alive and I was wondering if anyone could tell me how long they've kept them alive for? I'm just curious as to how far off their "expected" lifespan was.

My 20 gal is finished cycling and it's time to start adding fish :fish2: I definitely want some danios. I've had them before and loved watching them. They're so active! I also really like cories- I'm thinking maybe 5 danios, 4-6 panda cories, and something else. Any Ideas? I'm thinking about...
