This forum is ANYTHING but a clique. I have found the people here to be very helpful, and always willing to help if at all possible. I'm not sure where this member (former member?) got this impression, but it's anything but accurate.

Given my laziness with the keyboard tonight, here are the links. http://www.cybercichlids.com/yellow.htm http://www.cybercichlids.com/eblue.htm http://www.cybercichlids.com/azureus.htm

Yes, I meant "electric yellow hap". It's a slang term, I agree, but easier to type than genus and species.... The pentagon is 24" high, and about 40" across the front, about 24" deep. It's not a "show" tank, so it should mostly maximize surface area, but might limit the amount of actual...

Thanks. I haven't been able to see the stands in person, and I was worried that they might look cheap (like the fake marble tables in cheaper restaurants). I suppose that you have the Mardi Gras (I believe that Tenecor calls their black something like that).

There is an acrylic scratch remover made by Novus that is HIGHLY recommended. I found it at TAP Plastics in Dublin, CA, and on various internet sites (If you have trouble, let me know. I must have a link on my other computer for one of them). It leaves ABSOLUTELY no sign of the scratch...

Biowheels are great, but get something to cover the outflow port. Our Raphael cat swam against the current, into the outflow, PAST THE BIOWHEEL, and into the filter media compartment. He was stuck under the filter cartridge when I finally found him. I used the bend up strip of plastic off of...

I don't believe that the undergravel filter is actually filtering the fish waste, but rather just running oxygenated water over the bacterial cultures growing above or below the plates. The direction that the powerhead flows (pushing or pulling water) apparently has some effect on where the...

We're considering jumping back into cichlids after previously having had Dempseys about 15 years ago. I've got a 55 gallon with barbs running smoothly for the past 6 months, so I'm feeling more confident about this. My question is: Is a 70 gallon pentagon large enough? We're thinking about...

My betta suffered from this several times-always search for the primary cause (generally water quality), while treating this as a symptom. I found that Bettamax worked well (and a great name-the only good contribution from Sony!) Try to get it going as quickly as possible, since this can be...

The shark needs a tank that's about 30 gallons. A 10 gallon will be too small for him when he hits his potential of 6 inches. He'll hardly be able to turn around, let alone swim. Also, make sure that the shark has a good cave, since they are happiest when they are able to get away from it...

You've got a strange betta there! We've had three so far, and NONE of them showed any interest to food that wasn't on the surface-unless they had knocked it part way down and could chase it down before it hit bottom. They have also showed no interest in algae tabs-much to the delight of our...

Our's in named Neo, in honor of his fighting counterpart in the new flick. He seems to like the name, as he comes to the front to stare at me whenever I call him that (or perhaps, just when he sees me is more like it).

Yes, mine built several and he was the ONLY fish in the tank.

I agree, though I'm fairly new to mollies. We have a dalmation mollie that is pestering a black and a golden mollie. We added a betta, and it tried to bully the betta-but not for long. This is a very mellow betta, but I would guess that there's a certain point beyond which it won't allow...

LOL! Sorry, I coudn't resist.
