I'm looking to add more plants but can't make up my mind what to get. What are your favorites or what do you think will look great with what I already have? I'm running 108w (2x54w T5) over 55 gallons with CO2 injection. Substrate is sand so I'm using Flourish root tabs. For liquid ferts I've...

I recently learned of the Redbreast Acara aka "Smiling Cichlid" and I really like the look of them. Would they be good tankmates for GBRs?

I'm daydreaming and planning out what I want for my next tank and I'm not sure what size I would need to get. I'd like to have larger cichlids with an oscar as the centerpiece and maybe 3-4 other "smaller" 6-8" cichlids like a firemouth, convict and something along the lines of a blue acara...

So I currently have a 30g South American (mostly, still working on it) with rams, tetras, angelfish etc. and I'm loving it!! Someday in the future, however, when my budget and space allow I would like to get a larger tank with some of the larger cichlids. I think I'd like to have a Tiger Oscar...

Hi! I posted a similar thread in the general discussion forum but thought I'd post here as well in case some cichlid experts might see it here who might miss it elsewhere. I have a 30 gallon planted aquarium that I've recently reaquired. I've cleaned it well and redecorated with a more natual...

Hi All, Newbie here. I've been keeping fish for about 15 years but all my experience is with tropical community tanks. Now I'd like to try my hand with a mostly South American setup. I have a 30 gallon tank that I recently reaquired. I had left it at my parents' home when I moved out over a...

Hi!! I've lurked on the site some and decided I should join so I can ask my own questions. I've been keeping tropical community tanks for about 15 years now so I don't really consider myself a beginner in that category. However, I'm hoping to begin a venture into the realm of South American...
