If you are using an under gravel filter, try removing a couple caps, or lift tubes at each plate. Then stick a hose in each hole and siphon out some of the debris. It may just be too much mulm under the plates and the debris is being pushed back into the tank. Also, I agree with the others it...

Thank you. I will give them a try.

I have a 3" Clown Trigger that turns his nose up to squid, krill, and silver sides. In frustration I threw in a Cichlid stick and he devoured it. That's all he'll eat. Is there enough nutrition, in the Cichlid sticks, to let him thrive? Thank You in advance, Halfduzndad

Try feeding thinly sliced blanched Zucchini. It always seems to work like a charm for me.

Yes, I believe it is a Heros Severus. I also agree that he looks fine. I used to keep the Lemon variety years ago. With feeding you can talk to 20 different people and get 20 different ways of feeding. Experiment with feeding. All though I stay away from live foods because of unseen...

After 20+ years of keeping community fish I'm starting to branch off into the big and mean fish. Not too big yet as I only have a 100gal aquarium available at this time. I'm interested in obtaining a tiger shovelnose catfish, or maybe go FOWLR with a clown trigger and a Harlequin tusk. Will...
