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...

Made the mistake of going to HOT and Greenbelt this past weekend and ended up with 2 Tiger Shovel Nose catfish and 2 Red Tail catfish. All 4 about 3 - 4 inches right now. yeah I know "I'm gonna need bigger tanks"!!!! Still trying to finalize my AM2 purchase list tonight.... Oh well

see the pics.

I'm toying with the idea of selling my mated pair of Dicrossus maculatus in hopes of them finding a home where water quality is more conducive to their eggs hatching and wigglers surviving. Is anyone even interested? These guys are beautiful little fish and seem to be hard to come by...

Hi everyone. Ever since I got a fish tank I've always wanted a black ghost knife. Has anyone ever kept one or does anyone know about them? I want to know as much as I can before I buy one.

So all the cold weather has got me pining for springtime gardening chores. (that and the Burpee catalog came the other day ;P)I was thinking about possibly trying some type of aquaponics this year, or at least a container fountain of some sort. No idea what type of fish to try with it, but...

I have been thinking about selling my ruby red colony so that I could get mbuna... I don't really want to breed any more because I don't have time to take care of the fry and don't want to have them live a bad fryhood, so I don't really need the females so I was wondering if I could pass them on...

I have a few tanks, few different cichlids. Im thinking it may be time to start using plants soon. My tanks have PH between 7.6-7.8. I use african cichlid mix in the tanks with 7.8, and regular sand in the tanks with 7.6. I keep the temp in all of them 80f. I have 2 german blue rams, jack...

Im thinking about attending school in Colorado this fall and was wondering the best way I could transport my tank/all inhabitants to there. The tank is a 33 long (48"x12"x13") and i have about 10 cichlids in there, but may not bring all of them. What would be the most logical and safest way to...

Big daddy has given Me grey hairs!! No ONE can tell Me exactly what he is..I was thinking of adding more fish to the tank. If he doesn't calm down I might have to adopt him out or find a 10gallon Sent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

Starting to get back into the interest of keeping SA cichlids. Nothing is finalized but for right now I am bringing all of my mbunas to sell at the next meeting except for my ruby red peacocks, rustles, and yellow labs. Gona start up a colony tank. On second thought, which should I keep, the...

Okay I am Bored and trying to think of pairs that would be cool to keep. I came up with Lyonsi Umbee Dovii Black Nasty Grammode What pair would you guys keep

I am thinking of re-doing my big African Cichlid tank to more of an mbuna focus. The tank dimensions are 5x2x2. I was thinking of groups of: Labidochromis chimulsae Rusties Psuedotropheus williamsi(or possibly Pseudotropheus sp. "Acei") Cynotilapia afra Copadichromis(probably borleyi) Zebra...

As some of you know Pat Kelly is going in for hip replacement surgery on Monday morning. Here's hoping for a quick recovery and that Pat is back to kicking 50 yard field goals again!

Currently, the chief resident of my 55 gallon tank is a beautiful severum. He's pretty large. Currently, there are maybe 6 Buenos Aires tetras and 4 Bolivan rams. Thing is, I kinda want some more color. I'm wondering if I might be able to get away with adding a group of rainbow cichlids...

I am thinking about getting rid of my Altifrons. I have 6 fully grown ones and they are very big and look very nice. What would be the fair price for the group? You can see them in my 265G video. Click on my signature to see the video.

Any thoughts? The tank will be place along the exterior wall of a townhouse for a more distributed loading. I figure that the 2000lbs or so will span across 3 beams. On paper it sounds like no reinforcements need to be done to the flooring but I would love to hear from the forums if this has...

Okay, I am bored with my fish. Bored with my hobby. I am thinking about taking one of my 30 gallon tanks in the fish room and plant it. What type of gravel or substrate would you use. This will not be high tech but may be gravel and lights.

I am thinking of trying sand for a substrate, for the first time. How thick should I have the bed and how do you clean it?
