So I had two hongi holding in main 90 gallon and apparently one spit cuz I see about 5 fry in the rocks. I dumped in some pebbles to create a little pile to hopefully make spaces to hide the adults can't get to! I've had a handful of fish hold in past but never saw fry! I'm worried now that my...

Hi all! I'm toying w the idea of switching my other tank to a tanganyikan setup. My lfs has anything I could want in terms of Africans and am curious what I could do for a tanganyika biotope? Any suggestions? Here it is now just a boring community tank that had rams that didn't work out. I'd...

Hi all. I'm thinking of trying a background like the link here. My question is would it be easy (and should i ) to put heaters and filter intakes behind it? I just don't see them performing as they're intended behind it but if not what do I do? I probably never will as I don't wanna drain my...

I have 4 of these for about 8 month and all 4 are still pearly white and not turned blue. A couple get very dark barring when fighting but no blue. And they're about 2.5 inch. Does that mean I somehow got 4 ladies? At lfs I saw one much smaller coloring up?! Wanna know if I should go get him!

It appears mine is and I don't really have a fully colored up male any bigger?!

Hi all. My last female saulosi died unexpectedly an she was holding. This was her second time. Never saw fry from first time. So she was awesome as she never took crap from anyone when not holding and when she was holding became super defensive. I have a highly stocked tank w 20 fish an she was...
