They are a hybrid between parrot cichlids and convict cichlids.

Bought 2 55s from Petco (Aqueous) and there is a generous amount of silicone. Seem to be pretty durable.

I'm assuming that you've figured out what to do with the babies? Also, Polar Cichlids are Hybrids so this belongs in a different forum.

I'm sorry, I miss-typed. I have Levisamole HCL that I could use as a dewormer. It's also known to stimulate the immune system either way. I too don't want to toss a random anti-biotic in there, especially when the remaining 4 seem very healthy. I have, over the years, found Kribensis to be...

I have extensive experience with Callamanus worms (unfortunately) and in my experience they are a slow killers and the red worms are easily visible from the anus. This fish died very quickly and I have seen no evidence of worms. I do have some Metro on hand that I could mix into their flake -...

Hello, I have 5 Koi Angelfish (from angels plus - IFKYK) that I have been growing out and attempting to pair off. This morning, one had what appeared to be part of its intestines/anus hanging outside of its body. It swam around like a phantom and did not eat - strangely the other Angels did not...

I may end up needing to do Methylene Blue.... I've got two gorgeous breeding pairs of EB Rams and they've each had 4 batches of eggs fungus. Rams are semi-known for being bad parents, but I've had good success in the past. Going to give them one more try!

Were you aware that cockatoo apistogramma are all born female? I can't remember the study on this, but it was very interesting to read. At roughly the 30 day mark, the environmental influences determine their gender. There is a breeder is S. Africa who has a male Cockatoo that successfully...

Just dropping in to share an experience. Line bred Orange Flash Cockatoos for 2 years. Sometimes the tanks were are small as 10g. Females owned the territory. Males fought each other, but not females. I successfully kept a M/F pair in a 10g and it worked very well. There were 3x where I...

The kribs will not eat the crayfish. I would not recommend the mixture, but the crayfish would not be killed.

Can you define what you mean by "which kind"? Also, what are you planning to use it for? It will stain the silicone in your tank (and maybe decorations). It's typically (in my experience) used by aquarists who are trying to hatch cichlid eggs w/o their parents.

Thanks for your advice, sorry for the delayed reply. I did apply tetracycline and after 24 hours, there was no change. After having kids, not seeing a change in 24 hours is a bad sign. I stopped, did a 50% water change, applied carbon and afterwards treated with an anti-parasitic medication...

Thanks for your replies!! I am thinking that it could be parasitic and/or bacterial. I went to the store last night and picked up Tetracycline to dose the tank. I did a 50% water change before treating and have increase aeration. The bacterial medicine I was using before is out of date (I did...
