    Tank build time

    Hey all, I'm going to build a tank with my dad, custom. 150+ gallons. Was wondering what dimensions you all thought would be optimal, and any other hardware/material suggestions. Stock would be an oscar, some keyholes, and maybe a few firemouths. A green/red terror or dempesy would be nice if we...

    Thinking of starting a cichlid tank... In a 100 litre?

    Hi I have a spare tank which I am thinking of having a cichlid only set up consisting of maybe a tropheus duboisi, julidochromis and maybe a couple labidchromis. I'd be happy with just 3 or 4 fish in there to not overstock it. Main question is.. Although small as juvenile and no worry of...

    Would I be able to stock a cichlid?

    Hey all, I have a 29 gallon tank that is super close to finishing its cycle (thanks @mbsqw1d). I have 4 corydoras paleatus, and will be looking to get 4 more. Would I be able to stock a Blue Acara? If not is there any cichlids I could stock? Thanks!

    Name of this yellow cichlid?

    Is it a yellow Labidochromis? I thought they usually had a black dorsal fin.

    Can I treat for fungus with a holding female?

    Iā€™ll start with TLDR: -Can I use an anti fungal treatment with a currently mouth brooding female, and clown loaches and a pleco? -Can I also use salt with these species to enhance treatment? -Should I just improve water quality and see if the small amount of fungus on one fish goes away...

    Stocking Advice for 75 gallon

    Hey guys, I have a 75 gallon tank which I want to use for a South American Cichlid tank. Iā€™m debating on keeping 2 electric blue acara, a jack Dempsey, and a firemouth / green terror together. Would this be doable, or would there be constant fighting and unnecessarily territorial behavior? Donā€™t...

    Help! My fish is ill, any ideas on how to treat it?

    Hi everyone, As you can see from the images my cichlid is very ill. It has been like this for a couple of months now, slowly getting worse and worse over time. As you can see, there are lumps (which are very hard to touch!) all along the fins of the fish and its mouth has swollen which has...

    New cichlid owner

    Iā€™ve kept fish for years but I recently bought a tank and it came with 12 baby Malawi cichlids, a green severum and what I think is a black bullhead catfish. Anyway, my other tanks (which are much smaller) have crystal clear water for long periods of time but this tank has a different appearance...

    I should have known better -is it true that you can't use most kinds of red rocks in an aquarium?

    Bought a new 55 gallon acrylic tank and they are so slow shipping I've been buying accessories for months - bought some red sandstone like rock and just opened it and realized this should probably not go in an aquarium but it was a bargain and said "sized for building caves" which is exactly...

    Can you help identify this cichlid?

    I've had this fish for over a year and got her/him when he was about 3 1/2" long. The local store owner (with 40 years experience ripping people off) told me it was a Gourami (that's what I went in there looking for) - and I saw the spot and assumed he was right. Well it's a year later and...

    Help needed - Malawi cichlids

    Hi! I was just wondering whether anyone could help me! I got these cichlids a month ago and was just wondering what the gender of them were - two of them have gotten a little bit fat so I was wondering whether they were developing eggs or hopefully not cichlid bloat. Any information would be...

    Cichlids

    Hi, I was just wondering whether anyone could help me identity whether these fish are male or female and whether one of them might be pregnant or not! Iā€™ve noticed that two of them have gone a little fatter than when I first got them last month.

    Ballon/angle gold rams?

    Iā€™ve been looking everywhere for golden balloon body rams, and Iā€™ve only been able to find one around my entire western New York area and itā€™s not looking to healthy. Where else could I find these fish? I tried eBay and the only person who was selling is most likely taking them off due to...

    Sick Cichlid: any idea what this is?

    I was doing a water change yesterday on my cichlid tank (75g, with 5 African cichlids, not 100% sure of specific fish names) and I noticed this little guy. I quickly got him out and placed him in a hospital tank. Before I did my water change the parameters in the 75g were: Temp: 80 F (26.6 C)...
