mystery

Everyone likes a good story. Everyone has one of those fishes that, for whatever reason, capture their imagination, right? Well, I was doing just fine until one day, in conversation, my friend Luis Navarro were talking about biofilms and the occasional algae tufts that you find on wood, pods...

I woke up this morning to see 30 floaters!!!! :(:(:(:( in two tanks The third tank is healthy with fish breeding. WTF??? I checked the water nits ate high but that could be from the floaters everything else was normal. Anyone else in Nova have issues with water contamination? These were the...

I want to add one more fish to my mbuna tank and came across this one FS on CL. Can someone please identify? Would it be a good idea to add this 5" guy with a cobalt zebra, red zebra, blue acei, yellow lab that all are 5" males? I have them all in a 36 bow fr with alot of lacerock. I haven't...

So I'm trying to figure out how one of my 3.5" blue botia loaches jumped out of the tank. The tank has a full hood with a front hinged lid that was closed and the gaps in the back for my HOB filter are so small and narrow for a fish of that size to jump out. How the heck did he jump out?

I bought this fish last week that was represented to me as a Sunshine. It's been now told to me by several fish mavens that it's not (I still think it's a cool 4+" fish for the $15. I paid). What is it really?

I have been losing about a fish every three days for about a week and a half.(4 lost now) I have done 3 40% water changes in the last twelve days. Tested water after each death. Ammonia 0 nitrite 0 and nitrate never above 20-30. I am religious about prime and add do add infor the extra in...

Hello, My guppies are overrunning my tank and I need to find a new home(s) for them. I probably have 20-30 of various sizes and colors. They are juveniles, and many don't have their full colors showing yet. If anyone is interested in them, please let me know. They are free to a good home. I...

I have a plant that is growing like crazy in one of my tanks, but I can't remember what it is...please help! I bought it as a clump of unrooted stems.

Looking for cutie mystery snails. I prefer to have larger snails, but their colors could be anything. Wokring on weekend, so I cannot attend meeting :(. My zip code is 21043. thx

... if your CCA membership lapses, one's mailbox size is automatically reduced from 200 to 75. Pretty cool warning if you know what it signifies. Didn't figure it out myself until I tried to access a group order post and was denied. Have to say that overall the site is so extremely well...

Okay so this girl (guy?) was purchased a year ago from a LFS. I say its a girl bc i've seen her cheeks puffed out like she was holding but she's in large community tank so can't confirm it. Anyone able to help with an id?

I'm beginning to think she's not a "natural" variety. I believe was sold under the name "Red Head Severum." I don't often see her stripes and only lightly when she gets excited.

Actually, it's one of my convict x cutters. Or maybe it's a Honduran Red Point x C. cutteri. Mother was a Convict (or maybe HRP) and father was a C. cutteri. I think this one is a male. He chases his sisters away but seems to have a crush on the Severum. He likes to slap her with his tail. Or...

I have a group of 4 (2M/2M I believe) vics (I thought they were Astatotilapia latifasciata "Zebra Obliquidens") but I'm not sure any longer. I'd like to trade for a pair or a group of juvi a.compressiceps "gold head". They have held a few times but I have not seen any fry in the tank. I have...

OK. So I started with some young Labidochromis caeruleus. Within a week or two, I saw that three were holding, based on the pouches under their chins. I moved them out of the main tank, and gave them a tank of their own. After all the fry had come out, I moved the three of them to a ten...

Hi! I have been unable to log on from the University at all. Well, today I had to go talk to an OIT pro about a completely unrelated issue. So I asked him why I could not log on to just this forum. Well, during the investigation (didn't take all that long either) it came to light that for...
