Good afternoon everyone! I am building a small fish rack to breed (3) different types of African Cichlids. I figure I would start small and gradually work my way up. I will have (3) 40 gallon tanks on the bottom, (3) 29's in the middle, and a combination of (6) 29 longs and (3) 10 gallon tanks...

Im having some trouble trying to find the right foods and feeding correct amounts. Sometimes I over feed, and many of the times suspect that the fish don't want to eat what their being fed. some details....... 10g BN pleco babies - have not yet touched cucumber or algae wafers... is...

Starting to plan/continuing to save for a new tank that I would like to be an African show tank once we finally find a new house to purchase locally. I was hoping for something at least 125 gallons but hopefully more. Not sure yet if I want to transfer Tanganyikans from my existing tank or...

This weekend I was able to get my new 135 gallon tank (thanks again to Tony for helping me get things up and running). This is my first tank that I've owned that was drilled for a sump, and being that it is an acrylic tank, I decided to use the sump for filtration. While I've been keeping...

So I have been called in as the SME on a pond install at my son's elementary school. Of course I've never had a pond so it's like asking Jim Kelly (no relation) about winning Super Bowls. I'm told the pond will be 200-250 gallons I'm told. A few questions: 1. What would people suggest...

I have two sets of fry, one Red Jewels and the other dwarf cichlids (see Pic) Just wondering if the dwarf cichlids are to large to group with the Red Jewels? Right now I have them in two separate breeder boxes, I want to put them in a 5 or 10 gallon tank.

Hey guys SO, the more I watch videos of shrimps and see pictures of them the more I desperately want them! I know swordtails are defenitely not fish I can keep withs shrimps especially since I want to breed them. So what fish would do well with them? I was thinking of some badis sp. or some...

I've noticed that some of my chitande masinje fry are randomly dying off. All the parameters are fine, and I do regular water changes. Is anything wrong? Also, I've noticed one of my one month old Saulosi seems to have either very small, undeveloped eyes or no eyes at all.

Is this brown algae? It started out as an orangish brown and now it's this purply black. My husband was told that brown algae will dissipate under bright lights but all it's done is spread and turned dark. Is this toxic to algae eaters? If so, Is algae eater our best solution? If we scrub it all...

I traded in a Red Devil to my LFS and about 4 months later she is still there. What are the chances that I could keep her in my 125 with my large jack D and my Oscar??? I hate that she does not have a home yet. Sent from my SCH-R760 using MonsterAquariaNetwork App

I currently have a 6 inch jack dempsey and a 3 inch oscar in my 125 gallon. I have a fluval fx5 and an emperior bio wheel 400 running on this tank. My question is do I have room to add another fish. If so what are my options. I want to keep these fish into adulthood so I want the stock to work...

Anyone with experience keeping SW fish, particularly in larger tanks (125 and up), and you don't mind answering some questions, please shoot me a pm. Thanks! -Rich

Hey everyone, I'll have about 12 or so fish for sale at aquamania and I have a few questions about keeping them alive. First, do I need a sponge filter or could I just run an air stone without worrying. Second, the manager at my lfs said to go with sponges so I picked up 2, unfortunately the...

I "inherited" Sam's B. cupidos during his liquidation sale. They are awesome fish and I don't know jack schitt about them - just that he told me they could cohabit with Discus (not that I have those, but Jeremy swears we will someday) and are substrate spawners. I've looked up what I can find...

Hi Everyone. While I've been waiting for my 40 Gallon "Dirt" Breeder tank to cycle, I had to relocate 5 Electric Blue Rams into my heavily planted 20 gallon aquarium. Everyone seemed quite happy. There was no fighting and some pairing. I accidentally had a pair breed, but all of the fry were...

Ok so at a LFS i saw a blue acara. I instantly thought, green terrors. Then I read the sign. I asked and they said the lack of orange on the tail fin means blue acara. Thats as much info as I got from them. Ok so then whats the difference between these 2 fish? Just the color? Any difference in...
