My LED light is broken, so had to remove the tank's canopy for some natural sunlight to light up the tank. Decided to take some pics while the sun was shining through the window (sorry for the reflection in the full tank shots) :)

So I just got another 10g setup to turn into a 2nd quarantine tank :thumbup although it's used, so I would like to sterilize the canister filters (2x 20g rated mini filters), the heater and the tank itself. For my previous larger tanks, I just put 1 parts Hydrogen Peroxide and 5 parts water...

So, I recently got a Pundamilia Nyererei and on the way home, got a peacock and jewel cichlid (both about 2.5 inches) for $5 from a guy online. I usually only buy fish I'm 100% sure what they are and from someone reputable, but figured for $5 this isn't so bad; plus I could always just donate...

Recently found white mold inside my clear tubing that connects to my Aqueon water changer that connects to the sink. I just tried soaking the inside with hydrogen peroxide for about 2 hours, but the mold hasn't budged. First, is there any way to completely dry the inside of the tubing to prevent...

Just picked up a Red Empress Hap today, he's about 3.5 - 4 inches, a bit smaller than my Placidochromis Jalo (although in the photos he looks a bit bigger since he's closer to me lol) and just tossing up a few photos, he's only been in the main tank for about 30 minutes, so was a bit hard to get...

Hey everyone, I have a juvie hap cichlid about 1 - 1.25 inches and he's been at the bottom by the sand and his mouth is moving as if he is chewing some food. However, he's doing this non-stop for 3 days now, is it possible he got some sand caught somewhere when he was sifting through the sand? I...

So, I just got a large tank with an internal overflow and sump system built under the tank. Now, I had a canister filter before this and HOB before that, which the waste would of course go up the intake. My question here is that, how does the waste get collected with an internal overflow/sump...

Now, I just got all the plumbing re-connected and glued from an acrylic tank I just bought, but the one thing I'm worried about is that inside the PVC pipes, there's some salt residue from the old system that the previous owner had for his saltwater tank. I'm going to be running a cichlid...

Hey everyone, I just picked up a 140g acrylic aquarium and I was looking to buff it. I plan on using Novus #1, 2 and 3 and was wondering if anyone knew how much I would need? Also, any tips on how to buff/clean this tank would be great since I've never had an acrylic tank before. Another thing...

Just picked up this pink/purple OB peacock, which contrasts with my yellow/orange OB quite nicely :thumb:

Went on a long 6 hour round-trip to a great LFS, only ended up getting 1 new fish which happens to be a 2 - 2.25 inch OB Peacock. Haven't added him to the tank because I'll be heading to an aquarium club meeting tonight to maybe trade my remaining Saulosi for something, then I'll add them both...

Got some new F1 mbunas and peacocks Friday after I sold my Saulosi, however I did happen to lose my first ever peacock. Video explains why at the end. But my wife did get me a new Ruby Red Peacock (though it may be a German Red) after she saw how down I was losing the fish :smitten: Maybe...

Yesterday after I got home I found that my F1 Jalo Reef female is holding :) Father is in the 1st pic, 2nd pic the holding female is on the bottom by the sand, and last pic is of the holding female. Vid:

Well this is my first peacock, he's a Ruby Red and found him at the LFS with some sick tank mates. Long story short, he's now home with me and have been in a quarantine tank for 3 days now . I've added Paraguard just incase he caught something and wanted to nip it in the butt beforehand. He's...

I've convinced the wife to let me keep my mbunas since she wanted peacocks, but she still wants the Saulosi gone since they are primarily males and could cause some trouble if too many are in the tank. Looking to break even (well, still out the shipping cost), so hoping to get $10 each. As some...

Just a time lapse video of my tank over the course of 2 months after it's been set up, hoping to get some green algae by month 4-6, but with purple algae being more nutritious for my fish I don't mind if it stays lol :lol:.

Just a short video of my mbuna eating some cucumber last night, excuse the lighting, the iPhone keeps adjusting the brightness automatically :facepalm:

I noticed that there's a white area on my Jalo's head, it's not fuzzy or anything, it's like there's just no color there and is kind of white. Is there anything to be concerned about? He's still very active and eating well, so it's even more confusing as to what it is. 1~What type of fish is...

Got 6x F1 Jalo Reefs and 6x F1 Ps. Saulosi today :thumb:. They're all looking healthy so far and I wasn't planning on feeding them for the first night; however they've been grazing on 2 of my rocks that have brown algae/diatom all day lol. At first glance, it seems I may have a 2M:4F Jalo Reef...

Later today I've finally found someone who would like to re-home my fish, but the fish store I plan on ordering fish from is closed today and possibly tomorrow due to heavy snow conditions. So, it probably won't be until Monday or possibly Tuesday the latest that I'll receive my new juvies...

I'm looking to change up my stock since I've upgraded my tank to a 55g, so I'm looking to sell 6x Pseudotropheus "Coral Red" Saulosi for $20. They're about 6-7 months old and the males haven't fully colored up. In the bunch, 2 are males, 2 are females (the 2 biggest ones), and the last 2 are...

I'm getting a 55g tank from a relative and I don't want to take any risks due to 1 fish possibly having some kind of parasite/worm, so I want to clean out the tank to make sure there are no diseases or parasites that will be passed onto my fish. So here are the questions that I've come...

Hey everyone, I'm still only about 6 months into the hobby and am always learning new things everyday. I currently have a 55g Discus tank and a 29g African Cichlid tank. I'll be selling the Discus and moving all my cichlids over to my 55g though. Hope to learn more things as I go and will be...

I currently have 3 Discus in my 55g and 2 are very active, healthy and eating well. The last one the color has really faded and he doesn't eat, while getting skinnier by the day. First off, is it contagious? Because I need to know before it spreads to my other fish. Secondly, how should I treat...
