Sexing Yellow Labs is very difficult. Venting is really the only real sure way to sex them. I will assume your small male is a female and is holding, even though she/it is eating.

Looks like a Dayglow Fulu.

I put my flake food in plastic baggies stored in the freezer and return them after every feeding.

I would like to send the unit back, however this was not purchased from a retail business. I purchased it from an individual on ebay who stated that the item was "new". :roll: I have talked to Rena about purchasing the top cover and was told that it is not available. I assumed that this would...

I recently purchased a "new" XP3 off ebay. However the Top cover has a crack where the quick disconnect hoses attach. This makes for a very hard time connecting the hoses. Rena does not sell the top cover as a replacement item. So if anyone out there has a dead XP3 but the top cover is in good...

I am cycling my new to me 125 now. I am using 2 canister filters. One XP3 and the left end and One Eheim 2128 and the other. I cant wait to put my stock into their new home. I will be taking out the slate. I dont like the look of it with the sand substrate. In my 55 with gravel it looked...

My main question is about the substrate. In my 55 gl I am using a natural color gravel and lots of rocks/slate for my fishy friends. They have been doing just fine and the Blue Kenyi female is on her 3rd set of juvies. I am approaching the max bio load I want to put on my 55, so I have been...

I've had 3 tiger barbs in my 55Gal with a bunch of cichlids with no problems at all. 1 big bumble bee, 2 blue kenyi, 2 small blue kenyi juvies, 5 small kenyi fry, 2 yellow labs, a pleco. They are all well and active. Lots of rock work in the tank for them to hide in.

New Father Well, I too have joined the ranks of having new kids in the tank. My Blue Malwai's have had their first fry, and I just found 2 of them doing just fine. One is now about 1/2 inch long and the other just a bit smaller. They hide in the rock structure and know when it is time to get...

When I first set up my 55Gallon tank I had 4 tiger barbs with several cichlids. I noticed the whitish haze when the nitrite levels got too high, and a water change was needed. After the water changes the haze would dissapear. Check you water parameters with a good chemical test kit. If needed...

I've had my 55 with cichlids now for about a month and a half. I am now definitely in the hunt for a larger tank. ( I thought my other hobbies were addicting ) 8O I'm on the lookout for a 120 or a 150 to house my cichlids and convert the tank that I purchased for my wife into a planted tank...

That is a wise choice sumrswim. I put together a 55G tank for my wife with out prior knowledge and received the same advice from our local pet store. 90% of my fish have survived and the tank is just finishing up the "cycle". I tested the water every day for almost a month. First the ammonia...

I have been doing so many water changes the Nitrate's were not showing up very well. However I do see them starting to rise now. So I do think the tank is finishing up with the cycle and I can move into the maintenance mode. I will get some pictures up pretty soon. Those darn fish do not care to...

The Nitrite level is now comming down nicely. I did a 50% wc today with the Nitrite level at .50 ppm. It took almost 2 days to reach that point after my last 50% wc. I am hoping that it will continue to decline and I can get into a routine of pwc's once a week instead of daily or more! The fish...

Good Question - Where's the cichlid experto? :?

NO .... I should have started with AA! :P I bought the aquarium for my wife on our anniversary. Now I am its slave! However I must admit I am enjoying the learning process even if it is lethal to one of my lil buddies. Live and Learn I guess. Now I am thinking about bigger tanks and all that...

Thanks all.

I've past the ammonia portion of the "cycle" and have been in the Nitrite phase now for about a week and a half. I have been doing pw changes around 40% due to the Nitrite build up. I lost 1 of my ciclhlids a couple of days ago, however the rest of the gang seems to be hanging in there. How long...

Hi fanatic, Right after I posted the earlier message I gave it a shot. I found one store that is fairly close to my location. I am going to stop by there today if I have time. However, I think that I may be nearing the end of my cycle. I did another 20% water change this morning as once again...

I wish I would have found about about this product earlier. I've been cycling my tank (55G) now for about a month. My amonia has spiked and now is about down to nothing, however my nitrites have now spiked up quite high and I lost a fish today. I've been doing partial water changes almost every...

I would be more worried about being on my computer during the storm, than about my fish. You are sitting near a device that if connected to a broadband connection, the possibility of lightning entering you place is quite possible. You need to get off the puter....Safety First..

I purchased an aquarium for my wife. It is a 55 gallon model and I have it populated with 1 Silver Dollar, 4 african bumblebee cichlids, 2 yellow labs, 4 tiger barbs, and an alge eater. They all seem to get along fairly well. I tried adding an additional silver dollar, but the others pecked out...
