First off, the wife and I---along with all our wonderful critters, of course---are going to be moving down to Florida in December (her work has relocated us there). How does this concern my tanks, you might ask? Well...as far as cichlids go...I've only got one Central American (male salvini) and one South American (oscar). They're both getting bigger, but their 'shared' 75 gallon tank most ...

I'm just copying and pasting from what I posted at ATD... BgxBg 1 of 3... Next pair... Another pair last but not least.... Sorry for the crappy pics... I had a nice post made explaining things and what not the thing would not load. Lets give this a try.

The bolivians are not a couple and the angels haven't been selected yet. hopefully they would decide not to breed? This is for a 30 G? thanks for any help!

should i get convicts or firemouths with my jack dempseys in my 100g

Picked up some F1 Archocentrus sp. "Cutteri" at auction but have no experience with this fish. I was surprised when I got it home that it requires hard water. I've been keeping Africans at the same pH and hardness this fish requires. Right now the 6 juvies are in a 20 gallon q-tank but I'm trying to figure out what I'll do with them. The profile says they can be kept as individuals in ...

I was at a LFS today and saw a tank of about 30 Severums labeled "Orange Necktie" Severus sp. I'm thinking this might be Red head Rotkiel and I read it might be a color variant. Does anyone have definitive information on this common name? Google only returns six results mostly recent. This LFS really knows there stuff but, the gurus were at lunch when I was there. I'm going to try and go ...

I've started this topic to allow people to show off some of the most underrated fish, the convict types. Yes they're easy to breed, and yes they have cool personalities and colours. So lets get to it. Archocentrus, Cryptoheros, and Amatitlania. Here's a couple of my Amatitlania siquia (Honduran Red Points) Proven Pair Dominant male Yawning female Macro ...

I always put clear&brite in each tank after cleaning.. anyone have an idea??

Hello, I would like to take a poll on what you think this is; would you consider it a hybrid or a "Rubescens"???? I have taken a lot of heat about the "Ruby" reds I have purchased from Thailand through the past 8 months and now I want everyone to look at the pictures and tell me if you think it is a hybrid.... This is one of the original males for the breeding program (origin ...

So, we are having to evacuate. We are going to leave all of our filters and such going, but power will probably go out. We have a 150 Gallon peacock (with some oddballs and labs and acei) tank with about 30 fish. Two questions? How long can they make it without food? How long can they make it without filtration? They are all around 3 inches, except for about 3. I am going ...
