I have a 30 gallon with a single female convict, around 3". I had wanted to add another type of cichlid to the tank but it seems like that might not be a good idea. So now I'm thinking of trying adding a few convicts to find a mate, then removing the leftovers. However, my LFS only has 1"...

I have a 30 gallon tank with just a 2.5" female convict cichlid. I'd like to add one or two more new world cichlids but don't want to add convicts. Would a blue acara and a firemouth work with the space and temperament?

How many 23w 6500k CFLs do I need? I'm growing dwarf sag, crypts and a sword. Lights will be 5" above the water surface/19" from the substrate. CFLs will be mounted sideways in a lightbox. Interior of box lined either lined with foil or painted white. No CO2. I was thinking two lamps would be...

I was at my LFS and they were selling a fish called a giant albino catfish. It looked just like an albino cory except it was 5" long. I googled but couldn't find any information. Does anyone know of this fish?

I have a 55 gallon tank, upgraded from a 20 gallon 4 weeks ago. 7 white skirt tetras, 4 albino corys, 1 pleco, 1 guppy moved over from the 20 gallon. The old bio filter media went into the new filter, a cascade 300. The old gravel, plants(anacharis, java/flame moss) and driftwood moved over...
