Here's a new pic with the sea shells and limestone rock. Hope they work to raise my ph. I also made more spots for them to hide, I adjusted a large shell with the turtle, now it seems they have plenty of places to hide.

Thanks Wolf. I will mention here a bit about what I told you in PM. It's SO frustrating for me to post on fish forums. This is why I left another fish forum, because of the same kinds of reactions from the 'fish people'. I already know that technically my 2 fish need a bigger tank, but no one...

I already know ok, I'm not posting here anymore because all I ever do is get harrassed about my tank. I didnt know anything about fish 2 years ago when I got this tank!! These 2 fish have lived fine for over a year! It seems I can never just ask a general question without getting ####...

Hi, I just got my limestone rock, its about 4lbs. Is that going to be too heavy for a 5.5 gallon tank? Please advise, thanks!

I will be adding sea shells along with a small limestone rock. Perhaps that would do the trick?

Sorry.. I dont know a whole lot about fish like it seems everyone else does here. I have some but now I feel like an even bigger fish newbie after browsing around and posting here. :-( I dont know all the names and abbreviations.. didnt catch where she said what kind of fish. I was just...

What kind of fish are you going to put in there?

Well they've lived fine for almost 2 years, I mentioned that earlier, so obviously I'm doing something right. lol. It's not like I just bought these fish yesterday. I watch them every day. They've never been sick or super mean. I never see them fight each other either. The yellow one...

She (lol) that's funny.. is about 2 inches. I've had her the longest, since the beginning, so about 2 years now. What's OB?? I never knew the kinds of these fish, just that they are African Cichlids.. this is very interesting! I'd love to get a 10 gallon at least but I want to wait because I...

Pretty! :wub:

So wait, which is a her? :lol: How do you know the sex of fish.. I always wondered. And yes, the yellow one turns brown sometimes, does that mean he's mad? No I am not adding any other fish.. I know Cichlids are aggressive and need their space. Can you suggest some plants maybe? I have a...

Sorry about your fish, he sure was pretty.

What's a Auratus ? Well.. it is indeed a 5.5 gallon tank. The yellow fish is not that big and has not grown really at all in the 2 years I've had him, but the orange one has grown a lot in the past year. I've had the tank for about 2 years. When I first started I didnt know anything about...

Seems everyone has such huuuuuuuuuuge tanks! I dont know how you do it. I have a hard enough time keeping up with my little tank and two fish :lol: I need to get some more live plants. Problem is, the pet stores plants look disgusting and there are not many 'fish only' stores around here...

She's a polydactyl. :) She does have thumbs! Polydactyl Cats
