After moving my tropical community to a 75g standard tank, I have an empty 50g tall. It is 32'' tall by 18" wide and 18'' deep. I wanted to get one, centerpiece fish for the tank and was thinking of a Flowerhorn cichlid or an Oscar. Are those tank dimensions suitable for either fish?

I recently put 4 fancies in a fully-cycled 55g tank. 3 ranchus - 2 females, 1 male. 1 telescope. They've been in there 1 day and one of them has already laid eggs. The male has been chasing the females relentlessly and one of the females appears to be missing scales on one side. There is a...

One of my red wag platies was pregnant about a month ago and then one day, she wasn't. I didn't see any fry and didn't want to worry about extra fish - so I thought it would just be a feast for everyone in the tank. A week ago, I was doing a thorough gravel vac (removing decorations) and when...

Hi - I'm new to fishkeeping and have had my late uncle's tank in my home for almost 3 months now. My tank is a 50g tall, fairly well stocked, and it is fully cycled. I have noticed that my nitrates have been consistently high - but stable - between 60-80ppm (hard to gauge what shade of red the...

Sadly, my Uncle recently passed (October) but I was lucky enough to inherit his 50g tall tank, stand, and his entire stock. He loved his tank and his fish. I went through a mini-cycle when I brought it from PA to MD, but that lasted only a couple weeks. Religious daily water testing & water...
