Had a loach in with some cichlids, a catfish and a peck. I hadn't seen him for awhile which wasnt uncommon but when that few days turned into 1 1/2 weeks I started to worry. During my last cleaning I moved every single rock in the tank and he was nowhere to be found. He was nowhere to be found...

I'm currently running 2 canister filters on a 125g. An api filstarXPL (175g) & a Magnum something ( 75g piece of crap that came with the aquarium). I want to replace the magnum with a new (better) canister filter. Would it be best that I just stick with another api product or is it better to...

Please help me identify my cichlids. Ive looked on countless websites and still am having trouble identifying my fish. I think the first might be a taiwan reef hap and the second might be a showerhead hap but am not even sure about that. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks. Sent from my...

How do you sufficiently clean rocks that are far too large to boil in a pot? Aside from scrubbing that is. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Wondering if I have too much circulation in my 125g tank causing some debris to just swirl around the tank rather than be sucked up by the filter. I have to powerheads at opposite sides of the tank pointing at the front glass. Positioning may be wrong but there is always debris swirling around...

Some people put red tailed or rainbow sharks and sometimes bala sharks in with cichlids while others say you can only put cichlids in with cichlids. Any advice on this? Pros and cons? Thanks Sent from my SPH-L710 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

All levels finally stabilized so I added a few of the boys to the new tank. Im sure they will love the room but they will be getting some new mates in a couple weeks. Not sure of he hardscape yet but im sure this will be the first of many changes. Just wanted to share (showoff) ;-) Sent...

Ive been cycling a 125g tank for 3 weeks. I have had the levels listed below for about 4 - 5 days now with no change. Ive never seen the nitrites spike. Ive also had some minnows(10) in the tank for about a week. 6 of you them died from being sucked to the intake and stuck. The rest have been...

Im cycling new aquarrium with new api filstar xp and used magnum 350. Been doing it for about 3 weeks but am considering replacing the magnum with a brand new filter. Should I do this before I stock the tank or will it be ok to do it down the road? Sent from my SPH-L710 using Aquarium Advice...

Im cycling a new aquarium and the nitrites have failed to spike at all. Nitrates have spiked, ammonia is present and ph is fine. Is this normal? Sent from my SPH-L710 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

What is the proper way to add water conditioner when using a python to do water changes? Sent from my SPH-L710 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I see many photos where the hardscape is very near the rear, if not leaning on the rear of the tank. Does this impede the filters ability to do its job? Just wondering because I was considering doing the same thing. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

When I stock my new tank, Id like to add a few rare peacocks and haps. Any suggestions? Sent from my SPH-L710 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Probably a dumb question, buuuuut...one of my peacocks has a piece missing from his dorsal fin. I think this is from an altercation with Incognito (mbuna). I ha e 2 mbuna and theyre both gone as soon as my lfs has room for them. Maybe sooner. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Wanted to post a pic of a 125g that im currently cycling for peacocks and haps. Ive had a 40g for about a year with cichlids. Any advice on setup and habitat positioning would be apreciated. Thanks Sent from my SPH-L710 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Im currently cycling a 125 and will be filling it up with cichlids and peacocks. I currently have a 40g with 7 mbunas and peacocks in it. Should I add them and the new fish at the same time or separately? Sent from my SPH-L710 using Aquarium Advice mobile app
