Yes, there's a female in the tank, but I doubt that's it. They've never showed any interest in each other, and the male isn't guarding any specific territory. He just goes about his usual business, except when comes time to eat, and only then does he go hide for a while in the plants.

I really don't know what to make of this, so I'm hoping somebody will have an idea. Three days ago my 7-inch red severum stopped eating. Aside from that, he seems completely fine: he isn't lethargic, he still chases the other fishes around (he's definately the alpha in the tank), and even...

36 Canadian dollars for each one of a pair of one-inch long electric blue jack dempseys. They came down with ick and chilodonella a week after that, and cost me an additional 30 or so in meds. My two-year old female severum also got it pretty bad, and had me seriously worried for her life for a...

I tried posting this question in Tropical chat, but getting no replies I assume I wasn't at the right place. So I'll give it a go here. I'm currently running an Eheim Pro II 2028 on my 500L cichlid tank (just under 2m long), and I was considering getting both a second filter and a uv...

I'm currently running an Eheim Pro II 2028 on my 500L cichlid tank. How worthwhile would it be to invest in another filter? The water is generally clear, but I've noticed that particles will remain suspended quite a long time (sometimes as much as an hour) whenever the gravel gets disturbed...
