Thanks man. I will see what happens when I reintroduce him back into the tank. If he's still the same in regards to aggression I think I will rehome him. A friend of mines has larger cichlids but his are Mbunas I don't know if my fish would fit in with his.

Oh man, ok. Thank you for your reply

Hey everyone. So I have a 55 gallon tank at home thats home to a combination of about 13 haps and peacocks. I had noticed that one of my cichlids had nipped fins and bruises on his body due to aggression and fighting between it and other fish. I would add Melafix to help with the injuries and...

G'afternoon everyone. I have this bit of an emergency. I have a 55 gallon at home with a pleco and 15 cichlids, mainly peacocks. One by one my cichlids have been dying off, so far 3 have died. I know that they arent being killed because they have their eyes in tack and show no damage to their...

Hey ladies/fellas, so over the weekend I visited my local fish store just to take a look. As usual I saw some fish that I had to bring home. I have a 55 gallon at home with 5 cichlids and a pleco. At the pet store I saw that they had a fish in the same tank with some cichlids. The guy told me...

Thank you all for your help and advice. I will try closing all openings and gaps and I will also try cleaning it with white vinegar as well. But no it isnt gooey, it is hard. Thank you guys once again.

Below is the attached file of the picture that I took of the lid with the whitish buildup. I does grow on the light, on top on the outside, and also on and around my filter. 

So Im not even sure what to called it exactly but im sure a lot of us have seen it. There is a whitish colored crust that grows on my fish tank. I was wondering if anyone knew any remedies for it in order to get rid of it. Or if that isnt possible then how to reduce it. If someone could...

Thank you for replying my discussion. So basically apart from purchasing a testing kit and researching the fish cycle, I have to wait for the filter bacteria to colonize once again. And since I took out the old filter cartridges that housed the nitrosomonas and put new ones in, that is what...

Hi guys/ladies, I hope everyone is well. :rolleyes: As you can see from the title of my discussion my freshwater aquarium is having a cloudy water situation. I own a 55 gallon tank that is home to 11 african cichlids and one pleco. Recently i have changed the filter cartridge of my filter and i...

The sad part in all of this is that my tank is still cloudy. After this week of having the lights off if i still dont see any clearing up i think i will be removing my green gravel and buying either natural gravel or sand and fully cycling my tank before i add my fish in there. Any suggestions?

Thanks Drob and i will read the article you linked. 10 hours is not bad my water has been cloudy for a number of days now. And i tested my water i dont have any nitrate currently in my water. Appreciate your replies.

I do have the insert type filter. Not exactly the exact same one you have on that link but the same concept. The sponge with carbon & the plastic frame inside. So that means i removed the beneficial bacteria, how do i help get my tank healthy again? Thanks for your help.

Yes the filter bags are all that is in the filter. Only the sponge with the carbon in them are in my filter, there is no ceramic beads nor noodles. I just got home from the pet store they checked my water and said my water had no ammonia nor any nitrite that the water itself was fine. I told...

No i didnt take the "WHOLE" filter out i left it running i just took out the filter bags (sponge) with the carbon in them. But the filter itself was never moved or taken out. Thats why i dont know whats causing my water to get cloudy very quickly. Im going to go to the pet store and check my...

hi guys. i keep a 55 gallon tank at home but im having a problem i havent had before. my problem is that my water in the tank keeps getting very cloudy, really quick. at first i had put some medicine in there in which i had to take the carbon filter out which i thought was the reason for the...

Where did you buy your Blue White Finned Rainbow Shark by the way? I love its colors.

They are very attractive, ive seen the olive green colored ones. The one i had was a brown one though still very eye catching and beautiful none the less. What kind of pellets did you feed your Rope Fish by the way? :huh: I have African Mbuna Cichlids, and the other guy said it wasnt a good...

So everything is the same appeacance, behavior, etc.. exept for the white colour on the fins. Just a color morph. Thank you. PS. I want one!

They are, i do own Mbuna A. Cichlids, i guess thats a NO! It really sucks, i guess i would have to put the Rope fish in a different tank if i did buy one. When i had my Rope fish i had it with Tiger Barbs and a Common Pleco aswell. They got along great i never saw any agression towards each...

Hi Yall, i was wondering if anyone knew what is the tankmate compatibilty of the Rope fish? I currently have a 55 gallon at home with 4 African Cichlids, 2 Blood Parrots, 1 Rainbow Shark, and 1 Common Pleco. Would a Rope fish be compatible with my current fish? Ive owned one but i never had it...

Maybe who knows? :huh: Wish there was more info on the fish. Does anyone have one? ????

I agree very beautiful! I love the fact that all its fins are white. I fell in love with it automatically, but since i dont know any information on the fish i cant do anything in the matters of attaining one. What a let down. -_-

I was looking at some pictures of Rainbow Sharks when i saw what seemed to be an exact copy of the Rainbow Shark but instead of having all its fins being red they were all white. Anyone know what kind of fish it is, or anyone know more info about that shark? Could it possibly be a Color Morp or...

Hey guys i just wanted to know what you guys thought about having a Rainbow Shark or Red Finned Shark however you may know it as with Mbuna African Cichlids? I have a 55 gallon tank at home with 4 Cichlids, 2 Blood Parrots, 1 Rainbow Shark, & 1 Pleco. I just bought my Rainbow Shark a week ago...

haha. yeah im a HUGE Boston Celticd Fan!

I wanted to know what you guys thought about having Mbuna African Cichlids with a Rainbow Shark or Red Finned Shark however you may know it as. I have a 55 gallon tank at home with 4 Cichlids, 2 Blood Parrots, 1 Rainbow Shark, & 1 Pleco. I just bought my Rainbow Shark two days ago. At first as...

There arent many good rocks to put in my fish tank from my front or back yard. I went to Petco the other day so that they can take a look at my water and it was fine. I saw this tree trunk decor for my fish tank n i liked it alot so i bout it on the spot. It is pretty big and its hollow and has...

Thank you guys again. Im grateful for all the love. :thanks:
