Hi all I'm starting to become nervous about one of my African cichlids. It is red/orange zebra and all has been well for almost a month of having her but she just started pooping clear feces that is very stringy. Her eyes also have became bulgy and just has weird anxiety type of attacks. Is not...

Hey everyone. I have a dilemma I could really use some help with. I currently have a 38 gallon tank with a big center piece rock providing holes and such for my fish. I have three cichlids,(1 melanochromis, 2 metriaclima estherae), two clown loaches, and a rainbow shark. The cichlids were all...

Hey all, having an issue with feeding. I currently have 3 lake Malawi cichlids, two clown loaches, and a rainbow shark. I had the cichlids first and was feeding tetra color pellets and they feed wonderfully with no issues. I recently added the loaches and shark and I am having a problem with...

It seems like my orange cichlid is pretty red. I don't think I noticed it before so I don't think it's normal. Just curious if it may have an issue or it is normal internal coloring. Its the reddish color around his gills but inside his skin. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Just got these guys today and already in love with them! Was nervous about the black/yellow one because at LFS it was a bit dominant by nipping at other fish but has been swimming around together with the other ones! Very excited! Sent from my SCH-I535 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Hey all, After a visit to my LFS today, I was talking with one of the managers about what kind of fish to get within my range of liking. Pretty much, to be short, I am going to do a fish-in cycle with 3 of the african cichlids he pointed out (I do not remember exact kind, but they were...

Hey guys thinking about doing a mostly-cichlid tank however would like to have other fish such as Cory catfish, clown pleco, freshwater "sharks" , and maybe anything else that is compatible with certain types of cichlids. I've seen the south american dwarf cichlids are generally less territorial...

Hey all! I just started up a 38 gallon tank on Friday (April 25th). I filled it with water from my house and then put in the CaribSea aragonite sand I purchased afterwards. I also installed the heater into the tank, so the temperature is about 77-78 degrees right now. It is pretty much cleared...

I am trying to decide how I am going to stock my new 38 gallon long tank, so I was wondering if anyone could help me or advise me on what would be a good, beginner's stock. I have not had any big time tanks rather than 10-20 gallon gold fish tanks. This will be my first independent tank to...

I just purchased a 38gallon tank and when I started looking up questions I had I kept seeing aquarium advice show up online so I decided to join the forums seeing they are very helpful. Other than the 38 gallon tank, there is also a ten gallon tank with a gold fish that my sister and dad set up...
