    Holding Box?

    Heyo MFK! As mentioned in my keyhole cichlid breeding thread, my keyholes are bound to lay eggs soon, and I'd like to separate the fry once they hatch so my ctenopoma does not consume them. Can any of you recommend a tank-holding box that could hold several keyholes in it? I'm trying to find...

    Is it safe to add prime to a tank with fry ?

    May sound a bit silly but I know fry can be a bit delicate. I want to top off the tank with fresh water and I usually do about a half cap in my 90 gallon that my festae bred in. Is it safe to add prime or stress coat ?

    Blue dolphin cichlid growth rate

    My albino blue dolphin and my 1 year old had babies. Not sure how old the albino is as I got it as an adult. Had the male since around 2 inches. In 3 weeks they have gone from 1 cm to 2 cms. How fast will they get to 2 inches or 5cm? See pics, 25 babies.

    Hey guys, my angels have spawned multiple times this past month, but the fry never get past the free swimming stage.
