    Female holding?

    So I'm no expert on telling whether a fish is holding or not but I've been told to look for the "pouch" in the mouth or throat area and I have one female red zebra and she looks like she's holding, but I wanted to get a second opinion. What do you guys think?

    RIP sulphurhead

    My poor Sulpherhead didn't make it through the night. He got pretty beat up yesterday so I was gonna move him to a smaller tank to heal but this morning he was swimming up side down and didn't make it by mid day. I'm a bit bummed. But it happens.

    Cleveland Metroparks Zoo Cichlid ID

    Went to the Cleveland zoo today and saw some awesome looking african cichlids in one of the aquarium exhibits and I don't know what they are! I think I saw their name saying Red Humpback Cichlid, but I googled it and can't really find anything. Any ideas?

    Thinking of starting a planted tank...

    I'm thinking of starting a planted tank, because I see them and they just look soooo much better than having fake plastic plants. I don't want any plants that would be hard to grow or require super special needs, besides specific lighting and some fertilizer, so could any one suggest their...

    Fish Fry

    So I have a 55 gal with three zebras, one yellow lab, one german red, a pleco, and a sulphur head, and I went to do a weekly cleaning and discovered this guy! I'm assuming since it's yellow it must be from my red zebras or my yellow lab...I don't know how to sex my fish so I have no idea who...

    In the process of building a small pond...

    So I'm building a small backyard pond at the moment, and I'm not exactly sure how big it is. I used about 12x11 feet of pond liner and it's an average of 2 1/2 feet in depth. The actual pond is maybe 6 feet by 7 1/2 feet. I tried calculating how many gallons it is and my calculations came to...
