    What type is this?

    I can see them being either for that. Put a picture through google lens and it came up suggesting the lemon cichlid. Hard to say because they're actually more orange than yellow. I was thinking red zebra.

    What type is this?

    Hello, Haven't posted in a while but I recently grabbed these little cichlids that were just labeled "assorted African cichlids". I've done a little research on what I think they may be, but if anyone knows 100% what type they are, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

    Discus Help!

    Went ahead and printed out what you linked me so I can read it a bit later on. They're mostly getting Hikari Vibrabites (of course it says good for Discus on the back so I've been giving them that) with sometimes giving Seachem cichlid flakes. I took a video of him in his tank. You can see that...

    Discus Help!

    Update. I have added in plenty of plants and floating plants as well as dimmed the light on the tank, checked the parameters. I'm still having issues with the one having a black rim around his outer fins. He is interested in food and he does explore the tank, often exploring outside of the...

    Discus Help!

    The 60 has giant danios that are all over the place, catfish, dojo loach, young bichir, few rainbows, angels. Mostly fish that are moving around quite a bit which is why I didn't want to put then in there in the first place. The bichir isn't active enough to cause stress but I don't want him...

    Discus Help!

    I've got a good handful of ferns and anubias that I plan on gluing down onto some rocks tomorrow that should give them a bit more coverage. I should only be a month or two at most before they're in a bigger tank. Just waiting on signing onto a lease for my business location and they'll have a...

    Okay. I can dim that light easily and I have a ton of frogbit in all of my other tanks I can transfer over. I'll try that to start off. Hopefully with the water change, the added airation, and the shade will help him out.

    This is the tank at the moment. pH is showing around 6.5. Hardness, a bit more on the harder end as shown in the above picture.

    Discus Help!

    I'm new to discus and I purchased two healthy looking ones, about 3.5-4" maybe 3 weeks ago or so. I've noticed one has started to show black around the edges of his fins and I read that it's a cause of stress or disease. Can anyone help me figure out how to help him out? I don't see any signs...

    Feeding Tiny Bichir

    I got myself an inti-bity baby ornate bichir. He's only about 1-1.5 inches big. I'm having a bit of trouble with getting him to eat. Right now he's alone in a five gallon. I've been trying small pieces of frozen mysis shrimp. I've seen him eat it a bit before, but for the most part I just find...
