This is a 10 gal tank. I had a Ammonia Spike. Today is Day 6, See Picture. I have a Big sponge filter and a small box filter running and its been 6 days without food. The Ammonia in the pic looks darker than it is. If its still high will do water change and start over again but how long can...

75Gal Tank Two Xpertmatic Internal Sponge Filters. Sump w/socks 15 Cichlids Lava rock for media 10 gal Tank 1 big sponge filter 3 small Cichlids No Media in this tank

I have a sponge filter in two of my tanks, I've had one in my (15 Fish ) 75gal tank for about 4 months and one small one in a ( 3 Fish ) 10 gal tank for about 2 months, They don't look dirty at all. is this normal?

I have a cichlid here that its getting beat up all the time and he's very pale compared to the other one. Should I put the pale one in a Quarantine tank with Meds and if so what type of Meds would I use?

Ammonia Less than 0.25, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 20-40 water change 80% every week because of high Nitrates, PH 7.2 - 7.6 temperature fluctuates 78.5 to 80F also notice the cave is where the light orange one hangs out till its feeding time. I have a yellow lab that hangs on a branch like a bird.

The reason I have those fish is I never had cichlids before, I went to the aquarium store and told them I wanted Cichlids, I was there with the wife and she picked them out. by the time i found out what I purchased it was to late. they were real little, So i just watch them very close so far...

I have a 65 gallon with a sump, I have 2 yellow labs, 2 golden Mbuna, 2 venustus, white albinos, 2 blue johanni, 3 convicts . I have no problem with fighting.I had thses same fish for about 3 years now and just lost my first one ( convict),

These two cichlids were the same bright orange color, what does it mean when they start losing color?
