the stock tank will work until they start reaching full size, what size are the cichla you will be receiving, my rule of thumb is if they are less than 6in its gonna be about 18 months till they start to develop into adults, you would probably want to look at a tank thats 2-3x bigger than the...

No you asked for cherry picked information that supports your fundamentally flawed hypothesis, humans are not the same as dogs or as pandas, or as pangasius, or any other species of aquatic or terrestrial organisms, there's no point in making that connection within the context of the question...

would be best to post this in freshwater diseases and health issues, and use this link as a guideline for what observations and information to include from what you have gathered https://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/threads/fish-health-diagnostics-read-before-posting.210102/

brycons would be the south american equivalent of trout, you'd have to do some research to figure out if any of them could reside for life in a 40b, i do believe they would just be a bit too big to house a school in a 40b. some of the barb species are similar to trout in behavior, imo

just looking at the list vs, the tank, your either gonna need substantially larger tank, or start looking for fish that max out below 24 inches, a 250 gallon would make an impressive planted community tank, you have lots of room to aquascape and design an epic biotope

lince cats need alot of space, the more the better, they also dont ship well, DOA is a very real possibility, which becomes a problem when also taking into consideration the cost of the fish plus the cost of shipping

the smaller barbs like rosy or odessa, and denison

I had a similar problem, adding more silver dollars helped, they did almost become a nuisance when it came to feeding time

My personal favorite is the dudes who want to grow out a rtc in a goldfish bowl but have plans for upgrading within a year, but they basically need you to set it up for them because theyre deathly allergic to google searches and common sense. I left the FB groups and subreddits, they dont want...

fw stingrays are illegal to import, transport, or possess in CA unfortunately

Youre going to need a test kit to determine what stage of the cycle your tank is in, the bacteria from the bio balls you received from the LFS will need to establish and colonize, you will need to supplement ammonia until you add fish, you can do this by adding ammonium supplements, some have...

The water in your aquarium contains dissolved gasses, to simplify we'll just say o2 and co2 In aquariums the exchange of dissolved gases happens in the fish themselves, as they remove o2 from the water they breathe in and add co2 into the water they breathe out, It also happens at the surface of...

The rule of thumb is your sump should be 20-25% of your tank volume, and also your sump should be large enough to handle the water level drop from the lowest point of the main tank overflow in case of power failure 1. Determine how far the water level will drop, in inches before the siphon...

i live not far, unfortunately i do not have room, i would really love another female red terror and yours looks fantastic you could try getting in touch with tropical haven in modesto best of luck

I was thinking crayfish aren't usually kept because they go after fish, so they put it in the filter so it can clear detritus and they dont have to worry about their fish going missing?

If territories cant be claimed, if fish can't swim a few laps without bumping into another fish, or if fish cant get away during dominance or aggression displays. How much you filter or how much you change water doesn't mean much, thats just a crutch, as a hobbyist thats the absolute least you...

Check with your homeowners or subdivision authority first, and then the city/county

Uaru have similar requirements to discus, good water quality all that jazz, very rewarding, but 65g might be too small to house them for life

55g, newbies seem to think they can house everything under the sun in a 55..
