Noticed this growth in my blood parrots nose about 3-4 days ago. Been treating with aquarium salt and melafix/pimafix... She is still eating and color seems to be good. I have her in 10 gallon quarantine.. Any idea what's going on? I can't upload pics because I've exceeded my limit.. But it...

Anyone know where I can get some? I am located in the US

Hello all! I have a 75 gallon cichlid tank stocked with a variety of Africans. I feed omega one veggies flakes and NLS pellets. I tried seaweed, didn't touch it. I tried zucchini, didn't touch it! I just recently tried chopped lettuce and they didn't want that either! They act like they were...

So I was battling ick about 4-5 days ago in my cichlid tank because I believe with my moving everything and moving fish it stressed them out. It's gone now.. I don't notice any spots on them at least. I still have the temp at 82... But I'm still noticing quite a few of them flashing.. Is this...

When intruding a new cichlid to a tank is it normal for all the other cichlids to chase it around for awhile? How long will this last?

Is one more healthier / better than the other ?

The pictures are in "my fish" album. They are labeled as sunburst / sunshine peacocks on the tanks in the store but don't really look like it haha

Is this referring to the accei cichlid that schools? This is the name labeled on a tank at my local fish store. The cichlids in the tank are a black color and didn't look like the accei I seen online. Anyone know what this cichlid is? Is it peaceful or anyone familiar with it? Thanks!

Are they a good tetra to keep with cichlids ?

Anyone have experience with these guys ?

I just got 2 baby ( 1 inch ) bristlenose plecos to help control the diatoms in my tank. I have no driftwood though. How soon will they need it? If I add driftwood will they stop eating the algae? Thanks!

Is there a product that has both nutrients for plants? I just can't seem to find the right balance with what I'm using now! ( flourish & potassium ) plus root tabs. I just have too much algae and I'm sure it's caused by this. So I'm looking for something to make my life simpler! Thanks!

So I've heard anywhere from once a month to once every 6 months. How often do you guys take apart your filters and clean them with existing tank water?

Those of you who read my previous thread know I'm having some aggression issues. Well to clear things up, I have no idea what happened but now my firemouth is pretty mellow. He's calm now. However, my convict does not get along with my Zebra Obliquidens... She's always chasing him. Not always...

So I am in a situation. I have a 75 gallon cihclid / community tank. However lately my male firemouth thinks he is boss and well.. he is acting like one. I noticed today one of my african cichlids ( can't remember the name but it looks like a tiger sorta with maybe 4-5 black stripes, and a...

Opinions on them? Peaceful?

I purchased a firemouth at least 3 months ago and she has yet to gain any size! I purchased a second firemouth just about a month ago and he has doubled in size! How come my first one just doesn't seem to get any bigger? Is it normal?

how can I delete my old pictures from my post so I can upload new ones? I can't figure out how to anywhere!

So this is my nangi? Not sure what it's actually called. The leaves look a little funky, while one leave is bright green and sticks out like a sore thumb. I dose with flourish once a week, and potassium twice a week. Lights are on about 7-9 hours a day. I use root tabs for my other plants, but...

I've been told it will eat adult firemouths and other fish... I'm not sure if that's true... The smallest fish in my tank are cories. I have a juvie now and so far he hangs out with them in their cave... Will he eat any other fish when he grows up? I plan to move him to my cichlid tank when he's...

He keeps taking a gulp of sand in his mouth, swims away, spits it out, then does it again. Is he making a hole or something? Lol I've never seen this

My big boy has stopped eating :( ... I believe it's been 3-4 days and he has not touched his food. I feed cichlid pellets, he's always eaten, and even tried frozen bloodworms ( his favorite ) and he wouldn't touch them! He looks fine, he's kinda quiet now though.. As before he would follow my...

So I have a female betta in a tank of her own who enjoys being sucked to the filter. Wondering if you read that right? Yes I said she enjoys being sucked to the filter. She will purposely swim under the filter suction and just lay there. I don't know if she's playing dead or what! But I come up...

I have some brown algae scattered over my aquarium. Should I be in a rush to get rid of it or not? I sorta like the look of it. Was wondering if it's beneficial at all?

So I put one of these guys in my cichlid tank.. He is pretty small still. Maybe an inch or two. And my firemouth tried to start biting him. Is this because he is new or too small? They leave my cories alone.. So I moved the catfish in my 29 hoping to put him back in the cichlid tank when he gets...
