    Unusual cichlid behavior

    Hi. There are six other cichlids in the tank. Its a 55 gal, and the fish are all around 3". I'm posting pics of the tank and the other fish, since I'm not very experienced with cichlids and I'm not entirely positive of the exact types they are. So, seven total fish, all cichlids, five are...

    Unusual cichlid behavior

    Hello my fishie-loving friends! Looking for your input/advice on my peacock cichlid's behavior the past two days... This fish has been hanging out in the leaves of a fake plant almost like it's napping on a hammock for two days straight. I haven't witnessed it eating any food, and it only moves...

    I know some will appear blue with the right lighting sometimes but I'd rather stick with something that's blue in any light. They're really cool little fish tho, aren't they:-) Sent from my VS930 4G using Aquarium Advice mobile app

    I agree they are quite beautiful, but I was hoping for something only a couple dollars each in order to have more individuals. Maybe I'll do a ram tank later tho! Lol. I have many walls to fill with aquariums! ;-) Sent from my VS930 4G using Aquarium Advice mobile app

    Do you have platies? How fast and how many fry are we talking? I am gonna ask my LFS if they'd take them...worth a try. Best to get all the info I can before making my final decision:) Sent from my VS930 4G using Aquarium Advice mobile app

    They won't try to kill each other off out of frustration? If not, its definitely a possibility...that is if I can find a place to ship me only males. Can't find the blues anywhere around me Sent from my VS930 4G using Aquarium Advice mobile app

    Oh thanks! I really don't want to support dying or injecting for color so the blueberries are out! I'll go with neons or cardinals if I must, and may add a few also, but really wanted blue only or blue/white.:-) Sent from my VS930 4G using Aquarium Advice mobile app

    Ok...after staying up way too late last night researching, I've narrowed it to four. The blue tetra(BTW, thanks for the link above Toad), the blueberry tetra, the blue king tetra, and the blue platy. I like the look of the platy best, but worry about that reproduction factor. The blue king tetra...

    Thanks for the ideas guys! I'm going to Google all of your suggestions. I'll most likely have to order online as my local choices are very limited. Oh...and I have considered an all blue cichlid tank, but really hoped to go with a smaller fish for this one! Thanks a bunch!!! Sent from my...

Less than 2" when grown ---->the smaller the better 4. Not extreme multipliers(lol) ---->considered...

    Help me correct my mistakes please

    Haha! I gotcha! That does make perfect sense. Of course I'm more likely to end up with a couple survivors, fall in love with them, and set up more aquariums! :sly::D Sent from my VS930 4G using Aquarium Advice mobile app

    Help me correct my mistakes please

    So I've listed my Fishies on craigslist to see if I have any luck finding new homes. Made sure to mention a few facts I've learned about them here so hopefully someone else won't make the mistakes I have. While I'm waiting with my fingers crossed, I'm going to go ahead with my aquarium...

    Help me correct my mistakes please

    I'll check with my LFS but I don't believe they will. I know the 10 would be waaaayyyy too small, but thought maybe only for a few days they might be ok. Long enough to make the changes and then slowly acclimate them. At the moment they aren't really fighting...the one who was being a bully is...

    Help me correct my mistakes please

    Thanks again everybody! I'm thinking I'd like to try the whole starting over thing now that I know a little more about them. I just don't have a clue how to rehome the guys I have. I figure maybe I can't rehome them, I could temporarily put these guys in a spare 10 gal tank I have...put one of...

    Help me correct my mistakes please

    I hadn't thought about the possibility of starting over completely. That's definitely something to consider. I was worried about raising the pH so quickly. I'll hate to see these guys go, but if I can find another home for them it may be a good option...thanks for the suggestion. :) Sent from...
