    Red mbuna?

    I'm looking for some mbunas to add to my tank but right now I have a black, red and gray theme going. Are there any fire mbunas or black mbunas? I can't seem to find any and my local pet store only has a sketchy tank of "assorted African cichlids." Any ideas? 3g betta 10g divided female betta...

    New 40g tank and stand. Stocking questions.

    So today I just got my new 40g tank and stand that I ordered and I have a baby red tailed shark to go in it but I wanted to add maybe a few other fish with the same aggression as him. This probably isn't possible but any ideas from anyone?

    Acrylic dividers siliconed in

    I bought a 10g tank for my betta breeders and instead of just buying 2 dividers (cause of my 3 fish), I decided to get two pieces of acrylic, cut them down to size, drill filtration holes in them and use aquarium silicone to glue them into the tank. Each fish will get 3.3g. I'm currently...

    API Quick Start killing my fish??????

    I set up a new tank for 3 expensive fish and I knew that I had to cycle the tank before I got the fish so I bought API QuickStart and 5 ghost shrimp. I acclimated all of the shrimp and then added the correct dose of Quick Start. Overnight all the ghost shrimp died. I did a 50% water change to...

    Major trouble assembling sponge filter!

    I bought a biologically active sponge filter and I'm immensely confused. I called the company that makes them and he just repeated what the instructions that I couldn't figure out said. I put an airline tube through the lift tube and put the lift tube in the hole in the filter. It is bubbling...

    Unknown tank size. Help!

    One of my neighbors had a fairly large tank on their front lawn that was for free so my fish keeper instinct grabbed it immediately. I brought it home, cleaned it out and took out my tape measure, as the man who was giving it away said that he had no idea how big it was. My trusty measuring tape...

    Bulge on tetras stomach

    I recently bought 7 ember tetras and one of them seems to have a swelling stomach. My mom asked if she was pregnant but I doubt it. My parameters are all good. 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 5 nitrate, pH 7.0. I thought maybe it was over fed so I fed less and she did not improve. She isn't acting...

    Too many tanks

    I plan on breeding bettas and I have 3 tanks that are empty and two tanks full. I have a 5g bowfront that was broken down after the betta in it died and an algae problem started (this was the beginning of my tank days. I was stupid and naive). I also have an empty 10g which held my sisters...

    Kelp good for fish?

    My mom decided to buy a big bag of fresh kelp saying that I could feed my fish with it. I have 7 ember tetras, a betta and in a separate tank, a baby red tailed shark. Should I feed it to them? I initially said no because I feed them bloodworms and flakes but she insisted :banghead:, so I want...
