As more and more people get into the idea of utilizing botanicals materials, like leaves, seed pods, etc. in their aquariums, we're seeing more and more creative applications. We're also seeing a lot of people go from tentatively adding a few things to their tanks, to starting them out with...

Isn't it always nice to return to something that you know, love, and enjoy? Don't get me wrong- journeys to strange and new places are awesome; however, there is indeed some sort of "comfort" in returning to the familiar...even if that "familiar" may be considered "out there" by many others...

If fish had mouths that could water, well- you get the idea. Paradigm Carnivore is back!

The Cichlid Club of York PA is challenging the CCA to a rematch in the Clash of the Cichlids Cichlid show event! You guys kicked our butts last year and walked away with the "Bragging Rights" trophy as one Christine Keys took best of show! This year we are adding more tanks, more vendors and...

After a year plus hiatus, I finally am getting back into the tanks. Now that I can have a dedicated fish room (garage), I plan to dedicate myself to more variety. I am mostly into smaller cichlids, and one of the fish I am very interested in getting to breed is Apistogramma barlowi. I bought a...

Hey everyone, I'm Kyle. I moved to the DMV last year in May from Michigan, and I'm just starting to get my tanks back up and running. Excited to finally find a good local club again! My current tank setups are 5' 120 gallon: 6 uaru amphiacanthoides 24 lemon tetra 13 sterbai cory 1 Vampire...

I leave for the weekend and come back to babies and eggs! The red isletas have a nice cloud of fry right now and what i had a feeling would happen...happened. My chanchos (appropriately named chanch and chong) have spawned! They say 3rd times a charm and so far so good. The first time i...

I love Cichlids and I always have. Im really into the South American Cichlids. I have had everything from oscars to electric blue jack dempseys. Then I went through this whole Oddball (monster fish) phase. I just got this flagtail yesterday this past weekend and I sat there for watch it just...

I haven't had a fish tank in roughly two years. A few months ago I bought a place and got the itch again. After much deliberation and hours upon hours of research I made my decision. Reefs. So way too much money later I am sitting on boxes of equipment and waiting on my tank to finish getting...

Hey guys! Many of you know the ups and downs that have been going on this summer for my family, for those who don't-here goes! My husband developed several extremely severe eye conditions, requiring many surgeries this summer including transplants and major retinal surgery. He is "on the mend"...

Ok so maybe you can lol. I am sure only a few with remember me as I have been out of the scene for a couple years now. I left and did saltwater and just ran out of time with work and life as they require a lot of time. So i want to set up another Cichlid tank. I no live with my girl and her 3...

Feels weird... Went to house of tropics today... Did not really have anything interesting. I almost always buy at least 1 fish when i go to a fish store! Just feels weird. How often do you guys buy fish? Sent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

Been a while since I posted due to my schedule and also dealing with bloat that took some of my Rusties and some of my Ps. Saulosi. My last susccess was October with a batch of Ps. Saulosi being spit just to lose the batch about a week and a half later, then bloat hit. Well, going to AquaMania...

Well after a failed business venture here in Columbus and an offer I can't refuse for a job in Alexandria, it appears I will be moving back to the DC area. I am very excited to be closer to family and friends again and hope to see all of you very soon again! Also, I will still be building...

Hi All, My name is Steven, and I am back in the hobby after several years-- but this time, in Baltimore (a new place for me). I am a former member of the Greater Chicago Cichlid Association and the Milwaukee Area Aquarium Society, and am just now becoming familiar with the scene in the...

Back to AFRICAN CICHLIDS the only good cichlids :)

I have a nice yellow lab that I had to pull from his tank due to aggression. He's missing a large part of his tail (it's growing back) but is otherwise just fine and eating and swimming fine. I can bring him to the BBQ

Greetings. My dog recently convinced me that I needed to get some fish again. (It's a long story.) No fish yet, but I've got a 29 gallon just starting to cycle -- my first tank in over 10 years. I'm hoping to work up to something larger later this year or next year. Now I just need to get...

Just returned home from the ECC auction. I am wiped out at this point. We were up all night catching stripping and bagging fish. Left home around 7:30 AM and arrived in time to register in a hectic manner to beat the start of the auction. The place was packed to the rafters and there were more...
