What is a good food for Electric Yellow Cichlids? Would Tetra TetraCichlid Balanced Diet Flakes Food for Cichlids work out or do they need more protein? Than kyou

Thank you. I have a 150 Gallon tank so that should be large enough. I was unable to find Orange shoulder peacock, sunburst peacock, pink peacock, or ob peacocks. So I was going to substitute for other peackocks. Will certain peacocks not play well with others? Besides the Yellow labs I was going...

I was talking to someone who builds custom aquariums in my area. He suggested I should look at a mix of: Orange shoulder peacock, sunburst peacock, frontosa, venestus, yellow lab (can get a few), electric blue ahli, blue dolphin, pink peacock, ob peacock But when I put that in...

Yes I mix it for about 5 minutes but not more. However for the past year I've been doing it without any issue . I don't see any expiration on the bottle just a code number 89724. The pH kit shows a number from the tap of 7.2. I had tested the pH of the tank right before the water change and I...

I am filling a big tub up and adding Prime. I then use that to change the water Up until a few weeks ago this is the way I did it without any issue. I use a pump to take out water and then add the fresh water in None of the faucets near the tank support me screwing something onto it so I need...

A few weeks ago, I did a water change on a Sunday. The same way I did water changes for the past year. But a lot of fish (smaller ones) starting jumping to the top and then they died. At that time somone suggested maybe the ph levels dramatically changed. But the levels from my tap were the same...

Thank you for all your help. To be honest, I do not really have any particular fish that I need to have. Of course, things would be best if I were able to keep the current fish. But I am not against rehoming them. From my water test I am not really hard nor am I soft. So I dont think I can have...

That's what I thought it was about. If I take sample testing over a few days from different taps would that be accurate ? Thank you

They told me to go the website .Here is the report but I don't see the info there https://www.lakewoodmua.com/images/db/4250-Final-Lakewood2018CCR---MAH-Comments.pdf Thank you

How big of a tank do I need for the Rams, they are pretty new, and my daughter wants to have a small fish tank. If I rehome the Rams what would be a good mix for me to have some schooling/busy fish as well as a few centerpiece fish? Thank you

My GH is 143.2 I cant find my KH test kit, and I looked at the water report it doesnt say anything. The way I usually do a water change is I fill up a big a big platic tub and Prime and then use that. If I add water hardner to it, would that work with the African Cichlids?

Is water hardness the same sensitivity as pH? I know that with pH you have to be very careful or else there can be shock. With hardness is it OK as long as I bring it up to a higher level after the water change? Is it even possible to raise the hardness?

My tap water has a ph level of 7.6 is that high enough for me to keep farm-raised African cichlids? Thank you

Thank you. How long does it take for the Dempsy and Managuense to grow? I may be getting a new tank in my office at a later date. Re the green terror, if I purshase it as a small one and the BGRs start off at the same size will they grow big enough not to be killed? Thank you

The tank is 18 X 21 X 48. From the tap my GH is 143.2 and my ph is 7.6 (two weeks ago it was much lower). BGR= German Blue Ram My old tank had a blood parrot as well as two severums but they all died in a disaster. So I took the remneants of my old tank and am starting new. The reason why I...
