One thing i would like to note after reading this, the hillstream loach lives In colder waters (68-75F). Other than that someone else will have to help you with the other fishes.

Tank Size: 10 Gallon hospital ph: 8.1 ammonia: 0 ppm nitrite: 0 ppm nitrate: 0 ppm Temp: 81.5 F   Electric yellow cichlid has very large "stomach" area. I just noticed this last night at feeding. Also the fish did eat and i know not eating is often something to look out for as it is a symptom of...

So its been 6 months exactly since i purchased my yellow labs. Im assuming that they were atleast a month old at the time I purchased them. Ive had a lot of trouble sexing them but i have figured out that one is male and the other is female. They are both fairly large, i would say just under 3"...

I have decided for my new tank i will have sand substrate. This will be my first time not using gravel. What are some things that ishould know. Also type of sand?.My familys buisness can directly order in Silurian Pool Filter Sand for a very cheap price. Is this sand good? ive read pool filter...

So in my 7 years of fish keeping i have never had a fish survive a disease/infection/fungus. So when this poor cichlid was sitting at the back of the tank barely hanging onto life Friday night, i thought it was over. I did what i could with what i had i netted it, which was very easy, then...

  That's what i was thinking, bigger is better. Ill check out some used one thanks!

So my "Electric Yellow" Cichilds are almost 6 months old and are growning out of their current tank, so its time to upgrade. Im trying to keep it below $1000 cdn for tanks, filters, heater ETC. The biggest i can go is 125, but something that big can be pricey so below 100 is good too. Whats the...

  I have started doing this, they r coming out, time will tell

So if you had read another one of my posts i had a electric yellow cichlid with severe fin rot. Well i moved her over to my 10 gallon tank and treated her. Since then she has healed very well and has gotten very friendly with me, this tanks beside my bed and she rests right near my bed. Also the...

  Theres 3, one of which is separated because of illness, all of them are the Electric Yellows. I can try to get a pic with my smart phone when i get home from work. I feed them every night at around 9-10 and they only eat once i leave the room with the tank light off but the room light on...

Exactly what the title says. They do not come out when its light, they stay in their caves, they are also extremely scared of me and will hide in their seperate cave when i come near. I ussually have the light in the tank off for 20 hrs a day. But some sun light gets through the blinds so its...

The yellow lab/peacock hybrid looks awesome, beautiful fish.

UPDATE: The fishes tail 100% "rottened" off, but now there no redness, and the tail is starting to grow back.

UPDATE: The fish is acting way better, swimming around and eating, but i dont think its tail is healing, i think its getting worse

Update: Tonight i am gonna be turning on the filter. Also the was has increased to 8.3 ph, but the ammonia has gone down to 0, the nitrate and nitrite are still at 0. I am worried that it has spreaded to the fishes body, but yesterday and today it has been very "perky".
