Aqueon Color Enhancing Cichlid Pellets. The cories were fed shrimp and algae pellets/tablets.

The Peppered cories that I bought were 1.25 inches to begin with and never showed signs of growth. My neighbor had the same kind and they grew more than mine and reached approximately 2 inches. The cihclids are yellow labs and are 2 inches right now and have always been. This is really...

Hi, I was wondering how long it takes for fish to show growth. I know its going to be different for each genus. I've kept cories for 2 years and they didnt grow at all. I observed them eating peacefully and made sure each one ate. Now I have cichlids and they too arent growing. Granted...

It's a definite yellow. I'm on my way to the store to pick up some medication for it now. :good:

It's in one large clump. I've also read that keeping the light off is beneficial in getting rid of it, so I will do that. Thanks for the fast reply!

Over night my Silver tipped shark has developed what seems to be a yellow fungal growth on its left side. It lost its balance also and is doing barrel rolls around the tank. Could this be Velvet?

What colors does silica sand come in? Can I find it in a sort of tan/white/brown mix easily? I want the colors in the first pic.

I think I found some that's relatively close. Here it is, and here's the link to the site.

Do any of you know where I can order this tank gravel online? Do the major pet stores sell them? Gravel picture

Thanks :good:. Do all the common live bearers work?

What I've heard is that the male has a longer, pointed dorsal fin and the female has a rounded one.

I was wondering what you guys keep with your Opal Gouramis. I'm thinking about putting one in my 20 gallon tank along with some cories and ottos. What Else could I put in there? I'm not fixed on the cories and ottos though,so those could be taken off the list.

Can we see a full tank shot? :hyper:

Would the betta and apple snail or honey gourami pair work in a hex, or should it be rectangular? Edit: How wide are each of the sides on the hex?

Yeah, I agree on the 5 gallon tank idea. I just didn't know about the hex itting in 12 inches. I think the table is maybe a foot an 3/4 long and 1 1/2 front to back. I might put a crowntail in the 5 gallon with a apple snail or do two honey gouramis.
