I did not get anything yet!So you are suggesting going with x1 600 and x1 250 or 350 Esssentialy if I’m going to do that I’m probably better off going with x2 350’s Like mentioned as far as water movement goes even if I went with only x1 filter (600) I will be adding a couple of wavemakers for...

Probably within the next couple of months I’m going to be setting up a 75 gallon tank. Will it be planted? Yes not full blown aquascape but I will have plants The type of fish? I’m leaning towards an all barb tank but have not ruled out rainbows My posts tend to become very long and let’s...

Yes I actually looked at them then overlooked them until you brought them up again so that is definetley an option that I could look into!

i've seen these guys in one of my LFS as well as a couple of more on those lists you gave me https://www.myfishkeepingworld.com/sulfur-head-peacock-cichlid/

This is actually my dilema I am trying to decide between the Peacock route or to go with a mixed tank. Being the tank is going to be in my main living area Going with peacocks will certainly be A centerpiece of the tank and the room! like mentioned earlier is a 75 actually big enough...

thanks for the information I'll have to go on their website and see if I can find out some information

ok i am on main water I will have to test the hardness I learn something new everyday I thought soft versus Hard was in reference to neutral PH where mine sits at 7.2 so I am a click above neutral! I guess I have a whole lot more to learn!

So after doing a bit of research on this I don't think mixing Kribs and apisto's would be such a great idea I may possibly be able to put them with Barbs but not such a good idea putting Kribs and apistos together cichlids are such finnicky fish they are hard to group together. and as you...

I guess my dilema boils down to do I want to go with bigger more colorful fish less of them but more personable versus smaller fish where I could put maybe three different species together with them being about 1/2 the size!being the main focal point in my living area the bigger fish in the...

Good-day this question could have gone either thread this one or Cichlids I went with this one as I've had barbs already! I am getting ready to set-up A 75 Gallon tank I presently have a 65 with Diamond tetras x6/Platys x6 /x2 plecos/Border loaches x6 planted/black sand/Cannister I am having a...

getting back to this post I researched the borders a bit deeper and see that they are a smaller loach full grown versus the maxed out size of yoyo's so as much as I would love to add yoyo's you are probably right if I would add them they will eventually outgrow my border loaches and tank!I'll...

Thanks Boundava, My borders are about 2.5 -3 " right now and have been about this size for quite some time now,is there any truth to fish tend to grow to the size of the tank the only reason I ask is they have been this size for quite awhile now.I have another tank I was going to...

Have not posted here in some time just need some opinions from someone who has had loaches. I started out with 6 Burmese border loaches about a little over about 2 months ago or so I had a tank emergency where my tank sprung a leak I went and bought a new tank and swapped everything over in...

To get back to your responses I have ruled out changes in ph as my tank ph has not changed from my tap after numerous tests I have ruled out water temperature differences as well as water temps were fairly close Which brings me down to two culprits over dosing of prime which I...

not really sure if this qualifies for an emergency but it is an issue I have been encountering over the past 3 weeks with water changes in which I have lost 6 fish. week 1 added amazon swords did http://www.fishlore.com/fishdictionary/w.htm#waterchange wiped algae from glass using clean dish...
