    Mixing CA/SA and African cichlids

    I have focused exclusively on african cichlids for the past several years. I want to try a "wet pet" in one of my tanks and I am interested in a red devil. My question is can I put a red devil in a tank with african fish? I would actually get rid of the remaining african cichlids in that...

    lighting an african tank

    The tank is a 54 corner. I am using a dry african mix substrate (the one that is mostly sea shells). I am having trouble finding lighting that makes the substrate show off its crisp, white color. I tried a 30" twin tube flourescent with 1- 10K and 1- actinic but it was too dim. I tried a 30" T5...

    WTB: African Rope Fish (Erpetoichthys calabaricus)

    My friend that knows little about fish bought an african rope fish at Petsmart. She overfed hers and now wants another. She of course looks to me to find her one. She said no one at petsmart had any idea of what they ever were or that they even had them. They are only caught in the wild...

    Updated Pics of Mixed African Tank

    Morning sun streaming in and bouncing off the glass - makes for hard shots but you just can't beat it to get true color! This was a complete accident - had no idea I had this shot until I loaded it in PSP - I think I might play with it more and see what I can get better clarity - I've said...
