Following the basic pattern shown by Ted Judy, I created a closed loop using 3/4" PVC. I chose to glue the pieces although Ted Judy says it is not necessary. For air, I'm using an Alita AL-6A Linea pump. The Alita comes with a screw-in adapter to which I attach a length of 5/8" (inside...

My male Rainbow Cichlid has had a small spot on his side where he's missing a scale and every now and again it seems to "flare up" and look irritated. A course of pimafix/melafix and some waterchanges has fixed it in the past. And, really, I assume that the waterchanges are probably the main...

As some of you know we bought a house and we are in the process of building a new fish room... this is a LONGGGGGG process but I know it will be worth it in the end :D. ... The building ( where the fish are going ) is a very large insulated garage with a wood stove and ceiling fans ( about...

Hello Capital Cichlid Convention! I am the chairperson for the AACC's Fish Show, and I just wanted to remind you all about this event. The Catfish Convention features not one but TWO fish shows, running concurrently. Both shows have great prizes available! The first show is the...

Appears that loyal CCAers are returning from yet another successful mission to save/liberate unsuspecting freshwater species from the suspect ministrations of Garden State denizens and their northern neighbors. Early reports are that many bags of fish and plants were secured and are in transit...

Am thinking of co-donating several bags of fish to Friar BB's soiree on basic principles (nice New World varieties). I will bag and box - all I need are the services of a co-donator to pick-up/transport. Am in NW DC and optimally require someone passing nearby (14th ST NW and "U" Street NW) to...

Hello CCA Peeps. I got an email today from the PG County Animal Shelter this morning, looking to find a home for a midas cichlid and a flowerhorn cichlid. There is also a 125 gallon tank. Here's the email: My Name is Kim Montgomery, I am an animal control officer for Prince Georges County...

I just made my first batch of homemade fish food. Sadly, I dont think the blender I use for my smoothies will ever be the same.

I will be converting my garage over into a fish room in the next few weeks and had a couple of questions about running power to a sub panel thats feeds the fish room outlets. 1)Is the sub panel necessary? 2)couldnt I just add addtional breakers to my main panel? I plan on having at the...

I was thinking about using a bilge pump (500 gph) to remove the water from the fish tank and wanted to see if anyone else has tried making an automatic way of water changes. I just wanted to see what someone else thought about it.

Has anyone here observed a relationship between having silk plants (artificial plants) in the tank and fish not doing well? I have two tanks with silk plants and the fish in those tanks don't do as well as fish in my other tanks. I was trying to figure out what could be the issue with those...

I came home today to find this fish vertical. Another one looks like he has a coating. Another "shiny" eye. (He's to the right). It only seems to be my yellow tails. What is it? Also, his tail and fin looked like it is damaged, even under the scales it's discolored. EDIT: Added a pic of the...

I have a large tank with Yellow Labs, Demasoni and a few peacocks. Some of the fish have sightly sunken in stomachs and as it get worst they sit on the bottom but move around at feeding time. Does anyone have any idea what this could be and how to treat it.

So I came home today from working a 14 hour shift and find that the tanks I did a water changes on yesterday, the fish are at the top gulping air? I have air stones in both tanks making lots of bubbles. I don't have anything to check water, and fish stores around me are closed, any thoughts or...
