I have a 55 gallon African cichlid tank that sometimes has somewhat high levels of nitrate (about 40 ppm to 50 ppm) because I occasionally have to be out of town for a week or so and miss my weekly partial water change. I have a 10 gallon tank that I was thinking of turning into a sort of...

have an empty 29 gallon tank that I'd like to stock with African cichlids. I'd like to have at least 4 or 5 fish. So that means bigger cichlids are out. I'm also not a big fan of fish that doesn't get larger 3" or 3.5". I'd like to find something in the 4" to 5.5" range or so. Anyone have any...

I have to be away from my house for two weeks. There is no one who can take care of my fish while I am gone. What should I do to make sure my fish are alive when I return? I have an unplanted 29 gallon tank with 2 small angelfish, 4 keyhole cichlids, 2 bolivian rams, 1 otocinclus, and 1 small...

I currently have 2 keyhole cichlids and a small angelfish in a 29 gallon tank. I'm looking for some peaceful cichlid friends for them. I'd like fish that are in the 3" to 5" range if I can find some suitable tank mates. The water here has a high ph (~7.6) and is fairly hard. Any...

Anyone know about good fish stores in the Phoenix area. (I live in Mesa just barely across the border from Tempe.) I just moved here, and the Petco and Petsmart near me aren't so hot.
